夏休み — 2019 — staff blog

Doesn’t matter whether you are a kid, adolescent, adult, or senior, you will still want to go to Disneyland, regardless of how old you are. Tokyo Disneyland is never empty of visitors! Trust me, I’ve been there 3 times in my entire life and I haven’t gotten bored at all. Despite the not-so-cheap price, the experience is definitely worth it, considering that there are tons of things you can do in Disneyland. Obviously, the rides are the main attraction, but more than that, you can enjoy night parade which is amusingly beautiful! Even during certain day, there will be a special parade which will be different than any normal parade. Gifts are also available in any kind of form, which I really like. The only downside is, we usually have to wait for 1-2 hours to get into a ride. However, the pain from waiting for such a long time is definitely paid off with the excitement as you get to experience the ride. You can go with your friend, family, or even your boyfriend/girlfriend! I guarantee you this won’t disappoint you.

Located across Ōi River, Kyoto, Arashiyama must be one of the top sightseeing district for visitors and Japanese locals. It has a lot of historic sites and beautiful sceneries to offer, including this majestic bamboo groove. These standing-tall bamboos are approximately 30 meters in height and 15-20 cm in diameter. When I visited this site back in June 2019, there were a lot of tourists taking pictures whilst enjoying the incredible view. During summer, Arashiyama gets really hot to the extent that it reached up to 35 until 38 degrees Celsius at noon, so you will probably see many umbrellas scattered among the visitors. However, you will experience a relaxin, cool wind breeze as entering this bamboo groove, especially since the bamboos are covering most of the sunlight. Once you finished admiring these sceneries, the route will lead you to places where you can buy Kyoto souvenirs and traditional food, that’s including varies of ice creams that you can enjoy in the hot weather. There is no doubt that this site is one of “Kyoto’s wonders” that you must visit in order to get full experience of Japanese culture and its beautiful views.
