Transparent Toilet?! →

If you’ve been on social media in the past few weeks, I’m sure you’ve seen the viral transparent public restrooms in Japan! In normal condition, the insides are completely seen from outside. However, when you turn the lock from the inside, the walls no longer becomes transparent, as seen at the left side of the photo. These toilets are located in several areas in Tokyo. I went to the one beside Yoyogi Park, it was a 15-minute walk from Shibuya Station. I heard that this project of displaying transparent restrooms has the purpose of promoting cleanliness. Who would’ve thought that it became a viral tourism spot!

Sliding Down a Slope of White →

Since most of us would probably be at home right now, I’d like to throwback to some other experiences I had when I was back in Japan. Around the beginning of March, I went skiing for the second time in my life. This time, I went to a renown resort called Gala Yuzawa. It only took around 1 hour from Tokyo with Shinkansen. Surprisingly, the ski resort is very tourist-friendly and provides various outstanding services, living up to its reputation. As I have learned the basics from my first ski experience in Hokkaido, I was able to ski on my own. The main slope for beginners is very wide and smooth. Going up the slope was much easier as well since we can use the chair lift as we like. Overall, it was a worth the experience.
