I visited Hakone with my friend last year. Hakone is a wide area. Thus, one day is never enough to explore its beauty and enjoy the nature. Hakone shrine is a must-visit-tourist-spot. We queued up for an hour to take a photo with the iconic gate.
How I wish I have more time to spend touring around Hakone. I hope I could to revisit here sometime in the future.
Summer in Japan is hotter than in Malaysia. However, there are many worth-vising-places during summer. I visited one of the sunflower fields in Japan last summer. The sunflowers shine particularly beautifully in the morning sunshine.
Getting close to mother nature makes me feel recharged and refreshed.

Odaiba city is one of the popular attractions in Tokyo, especially for teenagers and young adults. There are numerous activities that you could include in your itinerary.
One of them is hot springs theme park, Oedo Onsen Monogatari. A memorable experience to enjoy “onsen” in that beautiful place.
Besides that, shop till you drop at Diver City Tokyo Plaza, which is a large shopping mall with a lot of shops and restaurants. Outside the mall, you can find the iconic statue in Odaiba — Unicorn Gundam. Tourists are excited to find the best spot for photo-shooting.
Stay until the sky turns dark. Colorful rainbow bridge, illumination, and lightning will be showing up slowly. You would never want to miss this magnificent night view in Odaiba.
There are plenty of activities to do and places to explore in Odaiba city. I would say one day is never enough!
I traveled around Kamakura early this year. It was not a well-planned trip and I woke up late that morning. It was after lunchtime when I arrived there.
To my surprise, most temples and shops in Kamakura close their doors around 5 pm! I was lucky enough to spend my time visiting the famous temple and some shops. There are many places yet to be explored. I will surely visit here again.
If you want to visit Kamakura, remember to reach Kamakura station as early as possible so that you can have enough time to discover this charming city and beautiful nature.
No matter how old you are, Disneyland will always make you feel young. I have been to this place twice but my first time going there was very nostalgic. I spent most of my childhood watching Disney movies, cartoons and series that’s why I love everything about Disney. When I visited Tokyo Disneyland for the first time, I was so amazed with all the details in the park. From the castle up to the smallest candy shapes you can find in some of the foods, they are all very detailed. I would love to go back there over and over again.
Unfortunately with our current situation, the park closed and there is still no update with regards to its reopening. I hope that soon, we can see the children, and kids at heart again enjoying the “happiest place on earth”, Disneyland.

At the beginning of this month the sharehouse I'm staying at offered bike rental. As I have been enjoying riding the bike back in Germany, I though it would be a great way to explore Tokyo by bike as well. Since then I've discovered many new neighbourhoods that I would not have been able to see by just walking there, because they are too far away from my place. My favorite place to ride the bike at is alongside the Arakaka river in eastern Tokyo. My favorite parts are the little breaks inbetween my rides that I spent sitting by the river while enjoying some ice cream. Even though I've seen and done some great things here in Tokyo already, riding the bike in such a beatiful and diverse city is one of my favorite experiences so far. I would definetely recommend that to anyone staying here who's looking for spending some relaxing, but meanwhile exciting time outside.

Just a few weeks after I arrived to Japan, I took a walk to Odaiba.
Odaiba is located near the sea in Tokyo bay, that's why you have a great view of the Tokyo skyline from there. In Odaiba you can find lots of big malls with many interesting stores. I spent a lot of money on great food and goods from my favorite TV shows. After that I went outside to see the giant Gundam. Also, there is a small beach there. It has to be great to sit at this „beach“ and enjoy a cold drink on a hot summer day. I definetely have to come back some day and enjoy the view of the skyline at nighttime next time.
