Japan Trip Highlights
I arrived in Tokyo on the 27th, late in the evening. It was a long trip from Mauritius and a bit of long wait at Hong Kong.
I stayed in Tokyo until 30th of April and on 1st of May and started my traveling with my first stop being Lake Toya, Hokkaido. From Lake Toya I was to have a day trip to Hakodate to go see the Cherry Blossoms which was top priority.
After Hokkaido, I headed back to the main island -places I stayed at Kanazawa (day trip to Unazuki Onsen/Kurobe Dam & Takayama), Osaka, Takamatsu, Shikoku (day trip to Konpira), Fukuoka (day trip to Kagoshima, Kumamoto), Kyushu, Hiroshima (day trip to Onomichi, Miyajima), Kyoto (day trip to Kobe & Nara) and then Tokyo.
Best thing about Japan? Being able to have lunch or dinner alone without any strange looks from anybody!

| First time taking the bullet train but I think I used nearly all the bullet train types during my 21 days traveling |
 |
| Hakodate Cherry Blossoms |
 |
| Hakodate Cherry Blossom. Thousands of trees. When the wind blew, it felt like it was snowing pink petals |
 |
| Took a walk early in the Morning along Lake Toya and came across this shrine at the end |
 |
| Cafe we stopped by while driving around Lake Toya |

 |
| Kagoshima, Sakurajima puffing out smoke |
 |

 |
| Miyajima |
 |
| Onomichi, view from the top of the mountain. That day there was big thunder and lightning. Top of the mountain was the last place i should have been. Scary day |
 |

 |
| Kyoto |
 |
| Kyoto |
 |
| Kobe |
 |
| Kyoto |
 |
| Kyoto - Golden Pavilion. Gold and shiny things really dont impress me. I thought 500 yen for entrance was a bit much and the place was overcrowded |
 |
| Walked through the place twice and still wasnt too impress. I saw much more beautiful temples and shrine as well as garden than this |
 |
| The bamboo forest |
 |
| OSAKA! |
 |
| OSAKA - I actually fell in love with Osaka for some strange reason, the place really appealed to me |
 |
| Tokyo - Yanaka District |
 |
| Tokyo _Ueno |
 |
| Tokyo Shinjuku |
 |
| View of Tokyo from the 45th floor of the Government Building, |
 |
| View of Tokyo. The immensity of this city was mind blowing. It was like a sea of stars |
 |
| Tokyo Tower |
 |
| Mount Takao - view of Mount Fuji |
 |
| Mount Takao. I climbed that mountain to the top and climbed down as well |
 |
| Shinjuku - as crazy as this place is, I absolutely love it |
 |
| View of the Moon from the plane. Goodbye Japan - maybe see you soon?!! |
