My First Japan Trip
|
||
| Here are just some photos of my short orientation tour of central Japan. From this quick tour between Tokyo and Osaka (some 550km) , I have come to learn and love the country and her people. From this trip, I am now already planning for a longer trip at the end of this year, to see more of this country they call "The Land of the Rising Sun". | Take me back to main page | |
 Here
is me at the highest station #5 (2305 Metres) for tourists at Mt Fuji. It was foggy so we
could not see the peak but still I enjoyed the trip up the highest peak in Japan.
Here is me at the famous Asakusa Kannon Temple in Tokyo.

The bullet train, popularly called the Shinkansen. |

Here is me at the Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
Here is a photo of these cute and warm kids
(about 11 years of age) that took this shot with me at the Tokyo Sea Life Park next to
Tokyo Bay. I promised them that I will put it in my homepage, so here it is.
Arigato! 
This is Masanori Fukuja from Nara City and he was so
nice enough to say hello to me in Osaka and offered me his rice cake. He currently is
studying history at the Nara City University, famous for history studies. I promised him
that I will put our photo in my homepage, so here it is. 
One of the highlights of my trip was a ride on the bullet train.
Here are 3 photos of this historic event for me. It is a promise I finally kept when
my late dad told me that I should take a ride at least once in my lifetime. He told me
this some 30 years ago.
