地元には金曜の夜について月曜の朝には出発したので約丸二日。
そのあとは金沢に2泊、東京に4泊でした。
どこもびっくりするぐらい中国系の団体旅行客でいっぱいでびっくりしました。
MOTH and I went to Japan last month. We visited my family for a couple of days, went to Kanazawa, then to Tokyo. It had been 6 years since MOTH and I traveled in Japan last time (I went back 4 years ago for a class reunion but stayed in my hometown so I did not travel), and this time we were surprised by the number of Chinese tourists. All the touristy places were so crowded everywhere that I was glad I decided against going to Japan in 2020 (Olympics in Tokyo).
Kanazawa: I had a soft serve ice cream with gold leaf. I forgot to check if the gold came out shiny in my poo.
Odaiba, Tokyo: Ginormous Gundam was very impressive. It actually transforms, too. This is what I like about Japanese people: the fact that it's totally normal for them to build a life size robot (well, it's actually a "mobile suit") in front of a mall.
Kabukicho, Tokyo: Again, it's totally normal for Japanese people to have a giant Godzilla head sticking out of a building.
Kamakura: The big Buddha was made in the 13th century and you can walk inside it too.
Yokohama: We went to China Town and did not even eat a single bao. What is wrong with me?
Kichijoji, Tokyo: Unfortunately we got rained on at the Ghibli Museum, but while we were at the station avoiding the rain, we were lucky to see an Awa Odori dance performance by Takarabune. Their performance was so great I almost cried, seriously.
