Tokyo/Nagoya Diaries: TeamLab Planets and Ghibli Park
Here’s part 2 of my Tokyo trip! March 28th: Our main planned thing to do of the day was TeamLab Planets, and other than that, just chill in Tsukiji in the morning, and Asakusa and Ueno in the afternoon/evening. Because I planned on getting a brunch at Tsukiji, I bought tickets for TeamLab for 1pm…

Sapporo/Noboribetsu Diaries: A Private Onsen Experience
On January 14 and 15, my boyfriend and I took a brief weekend getaway, sponsored by my parents as their Christmas gift to us this year, to Noboribetsu, a city in Hokkaido known for their onsen. Since I’m in Hokkaido, and I guess in Japan in general, I’ve been as wanting to go to an…

Sapporo Diaries: Special Guest and First Long Stay!
I normally go to Sapporo on day trips on a weekend day so I don’t have to worry about staying too late and overnight, but this weekend was an exception, because my boyfriend is coming to visit me! The plan was to meet up with him in Sapporo Friday evening since he would land earlier…
