2019: Japan: Tochigi: Illumination in Ashikaga Flower Park
I didn't think much of Ashikaga, but this is like well-lighted theme park which is good to enjoy during the holiday season.
But I prefer to see this place next time when wisteria is in full bloom.

2019: Japan: Tochigi & Saitama: Autumn Maple Leaves Sightseeing Day Tour
I would consider myself DIY traveler, but when traveling for longer days I prefer to have a day break, where I can join the tours. I consider it as a free-day where I would not be pressured on which trains/buses to take to my next destination.
2019: Japan: Hakone: Along Lake Ashinoko
Since I'll be starting my day late, I prefer having one-stop from main station, then will just go around the area. So what activities can we enjoy nearby Lake Ashi (Motohakone)?
2019: Japan: Hakone Yuryo Onsen
Are you curious to experience onsen, but looking for an open-private one? Visit Yuryo Onsen to know more.
2019: Japan: Nagano: Kiso Valley
Kiso Valley is located in Nagano Prefecture. It is an option route between Tokyo and Kyoto known as Nakasendo ("path through the mountains"). I wanted to see this path to experience how it was hard for the old people and Himura then.

2019 Spring: Sweden: Where to go in Lund
Sweden: Where to go in Lund
Inspired by the recent trip from Alvin Elchico in Europe, I have included Lund on my short trip to Sweden. Lund is more of the young vibe since most of the population are students. However, this does not mean that there are more night life. As the night light stay, most of the shops and restaurants shuts early.

2019 April: Japan: Visit to Takayama and Shirakawa Village
We booked at Klook, but try if you can get it on a lower price at Meitetsu Kanko website.
On the day of your travel, go to Meitetsu Bus Center 4F to get your tour sticker and travel guide documents. The office opens at 7:10am, stay nearby the door because there area a lot of tourists who will be waiting outside. The bus was expected to arrive at 8:10am in Gates 27 and 28. But because the earlier bus departures have problems of waiting for their guests, expect that your own departure time will be affected as well.

Japan: 6 Days Spring Itinerary in Nagoya
Sakura in Nagoya
Forecast showed that full bloom is on last week of March, but don’t always trust the forecast. It’s been cloudy and raining in few days of our stay, and because of less heat that the buds did not open and there are more still more buds than blooming flowers.
Gladly, we had our full experience in Tsuruma Park on our last day in April 01.
Date Visited: March 26 - April 01, 2019
Health Alert
I already have asthma prior on going to Nagoya and I keep on coughing and had deep breathes all day long. Le me share with you, there exists pollen allergies or known as “hay fever” that is wide spread during spring season or February to April in Japan.
It is advisable to wear eye glasses and face masks when enjoying the nature, trees and blooming flowers during this season.
