Halloo, Arn and I are back from a brief vacation in Japan ((Obviously we love the place, that’s why we keep going back. Add to that the fact that my Papa always invites us over and generously sponsors our trip. 🙂)) with my family. This time we took a Shinkansen ((aka Bullet Train. On a regular train, the ride from Tokyo to Kyoto will take 8 hours. Via shinkansen, it only took us 2 hours, tops!)) to the Kansai area so we were able to cover more ground compared to past visits. ((Kyoto is actually special to me because we stayed for a month in Kyoto when I was 7 (photo here). ))
Spring had just sprung when we arrived over a week ago and we were lucky to have witnessed the once-a-year blooming of the beautiful Sakura during our stay. You can view some photos at the following albums: Kyoto / Kobe / Ueno Park / Ohanami in Ibaraki / Tokyo
