I love sakura(cherry blossom) season! There are so many sakura trees in Tokyo, and it's in the middle of full bloom. Everywhere you look, there are pink and white flowers everywhere!

2 weeks, 400$ and 26 hours on trains

From the 24th of Febuary to the 11th of March, I did a trip from Tokyo to the island of Sado Island and back again, stopping a couple places on the way. Finally have gotten around to putting up some pictures! enjoy!

I got to take a picture with a geisha in Gion! We were wandering down to Yasaka jinja after seeing Kiyomizu-dera and randomly bumped into them! I was so happy to see geisha in Kyoto v^_^v

Happy holidays from Japan! I hope everyone had a good holiday ^-^
1st pic: Its Colonel Santa!

3rd +4th pic: We stood in this massive croud for 2 hours to see the Tokyo Millenario. Its 100-200 lit gates that cover a block and a half of the street by Tokyo station. It was so cold, and there were so many people, but it was worth it!
5th pic: everyone came to my host families house for a Christmas potluck party! I was so full >_< ;;

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year! I'm going to spend it with my host family in Niigata.
