I realized that I have TOO many photos :P almost 700 photos all together. The majority of them are family photos, however some I can put here to show a few things.
First up, the part of Tokyo which I stayed on the second day there. Stayed at the Keio Plaza hotel just opposite the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in the Shinjuku area.
Quite a famous building actually. Raced around it in PGR 3, blew it up a few times in some PS2 game, and when I was there didn't know I will come here although i was thinking will I come to this place or not since I have seen this twin towers before.
Then the 3rd day I was at mount fuji area it snowed heavily the night before. The result: winter wonderland in the morning!!
Taken from the balcony of our hotel. Imagine, almost a palm length thick of snow came the night before.
From my hotel room window, not facing the lake unfortunately
So no choice can only visit mount fuji visitor center. See the thick layer of white snow? It is fresh white snow. The visibility is bad and cannot go up the mountain. Bought my Mount fuji soft toy from here.
See how heavy it snowed last night? :P
Luckily as we went over to the volcanic hot spring area can see the mountain.. although can't see the peak.
But after that we went to a shrine on top of a hill can see the peak finally :)
The 4 sided shrine on top of hill overlooking a city.
Now that mount Fuji is covered, now onto food!!
At the lake side hotel naer mount fuji had crab for dinner
Then on X'mas eve had this steamboat dinner in a typical japanese restaurant in Kyoto. Extremely hard to get up after that.
And the best of all, unlimited sushi!!
Yes, I took a little too much. The colors dun represent any value or type of dishes unlike our sushi king here. At a sushi bar in Osaka. My plates are on the left. The wasabi is very sauce-like, unlike our wasabi powder-rish. Also, I took too much wasabi!!!
... and yes, we were trying to outdo each other
The last day went over to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. The entrance arch at night
There are also lots of Myvis... i mean Passos around too. My bro which has a Myvi was busy snapping away. Like this myvi here.
Or this Myvi inside the Toyota themepark in Odaiba, Tokyo.
or this Daihatsu Boon here, spotted on the 4th day.
And lastly, I mentioned about their hi-tech toilets, well, one hotel had this seat with a heated seat. There is a stop button, front spray button, back spray button and water pressure control. Oh, the water is heated too.
