Visited Japan in April 2009, this year. It was spring in Japan.
Here is my photojournal!

JAL serves sake!

Watched a movie and slept. Woke up to find that the beautiful sunrise is coming our way.
I think it was about 4.30am, stinkapore time. For breakie.
It was time, to relish the beautiful skies.
Japan!
Arrived at the Narita International Airport.
my pack
the two travellers, taking an express train.
Lunch on the train.
We were nearing Nagano.
Nagano Station 長野駅
On the way to one of the famed temple. Spring is in the air!
This is Zenkoji 善光寺. Apparently, they have some special events. Every 7 years only.
The crowds parted...
for the arrival of the high priestess, for blessings.
we were lucky because we were on the left of her, to receive the blessings first.
You cannot afford to ignore hungry people. We went for lunch at a nearby shop. Apparently, it was quite famous. J ordered tempura soba while i decided to try something new. In that sense, something i don't quite understand, from the menu.
Well, J got her tempura soba.
I got some fish soba.. which i wasn't too happy about. But well, that is what travel is about. Adventures!
Hopped onto another train!
can you see the rainbow?
We arrived at the ryokan we were staying for the night. They put us at the study area first, while preparing our welcome tea.
can you see the sakura?
our room!
