Best Place, Japan!

Well, my family trip to Japan was great! I really think, Japan is one the of most beautiful place to go to. Japan is a country which has the whole package! A really nice business district, with good roads with uniform tall trees along the streets, lanterns, average shops and then, 5 minutes from the city centre - the most breathtaking scenary i've ever seen in Japan. . Massive forests, tall mountains, deep gorges, railroads, little villages, rivers, mist and small waterfalls in the mountains. I just couldn't believe a place could grab my heart so strongly in such a short time.

 One of the few places i visited in Japan was Tsuruoka - this is in the Yamagata Ken. while not the most beautiful it has something really nice about it. Lanterns all along the river, quaint little shops, not far from the sea of japan. the thing i really liked was the trip past the big lake on the way, passing through the mountains.

  One of the best experiences was in "Kinugawa Onsen". Kinugawa Onsen is a popular hot spring resort town. Its famous for their natural hot springs throughout the year, whether its winter, or summer. Also, the hotel rooms follow the Japanese traditions. There are no beds, only mattress, no television or whatsoever. Its a really cozy and relaxing place to be in.

"Kitanogurume" also known Sapporo Central Wholesale Market is the one and only place where you can find any Hokkaido produced food. Lots of fresh seafood there, and free tasting too! Not only that, there are lots of seafood restaurants there with very affordable prices! It was a good experience tasting lots of seafood which cannot be found here, in Malaysia.
