Next Day, first, we proceeded to visit Nara Todaiji Temple to huge Buddha.

It’s hard to image from this picture, but the size of this huge Buddha is as follows:
Height about18m (bottom to top)
Width about 13m

Furthermore, this temple is located in Nara Park known as Deer Park. You can see hundreds of deer in this park!
and…as you can guess also you can see thousands of Deer Poo Bomb… You have to watch out for those bombs!

One thing that you have to try at this place is, you have to buy deer snack (JPY100) and give them!
Then, deer will be your enemy, and everyone will watch you like a movie star! lol

Warning! Don’t touch the deer! They might have disease.

By the way, if you are lucky you can see Sakura carpet!

After visit Nara, we proceeded to visit Kobe for SAKE!!

We visit Kiku-Masamune Sake Brewer, to see process of Japanese Sake (Rice Wine) making.

Tokyo – Osaka Tour 1

admin — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 06:30:51 +0000

At Sakura season, I had a chance to join the tour to see how tour runs.
It was a nice opportunity to join the tour; I learned a variety of things that need to know from this tour. From today, I will introduce you how tour looks like, and you also could get an image of tour.

At First, group visited Edo Tokyo Museum. From this museum, you could know outline of history of Tokyo! I don’t want to talk too much!

After visit Edo Tokyo Museum, we proceeded to Asakusa to visit Sensoji Temple & Nakamise Shopping Street. Sensoji Temple is Tokyo’s oldest temple, and one of famous place in Japan. I would say most of Japanese know this place.

After visit Asakusa, we proceeded to visit Odaiba Pallet Town by Cruise!

Famous landmark of Odaiba!

Odaiba is known as Date spot! You should take your girlfriend or wife to this places. Moreover, you also can enjoy shopping at this place.
You can spend one full day at Odaiba Pallet Town.

Hanami

Do you know Hanami??

Hanami is the Japanese traditional event which people go to park and see Sakura and drink. (well, I think now it is just a excuse to drink… )

I have been to Hanami at Yoyogi Park near Harajuku today.
there were may people. some people are drinking crazy, singing and sleeping.
it was really really fun.

maybe if you have chance to come to Japan at sakura season. it might be good idea to go to park to join Party!
