Hi , i'm new here and id like to share my experience with you. (: Last dec, my family & i travelled to Japan for a 10D9N trip. We combed Osaka, Tokyo and Hokkaido with Osaka as our first destination. Osaka is like sake - warm and mellow. But never dull. I like that it isn't overly fast-paced. I love the culture and the Japanese are ever so polite and affable.
Tokyo is really interesting and an eye-opener. Their culture is either like the norm or really extreme! Ive seen girls dressed in fluffy pink dresses, with blonde dolly hair and towering heels. Albeit being open-minded, i find it pretty amusing. haha! I like that their luxurious boutiques are of one whole building unlike my country where we only have 1 flagship store. Things are really expensive in Tokyo and as usual, the food was fantastic. There are soo many things to shop, and you'd tend to overbuy because they have everything and many variety!
Hokkaido was alot more quieter, in my opinion. Most of the time we went on a coach bus, travelling uphill to mountainous areas. We stayed at traditional inns and in the mornings we take a bus to the mountains to ski. It was my first time in real contact with snow and it felt really great and exciting, not to mention hours of skiing. We had their snow/ king crab? and sea urchin, abalone and sashimi etc. Really costly for those but it was worth it, every penny. Afterall, we ought to relax when we're on a vacation trip, yes? Overall, ive to say this was my ultimate best trip ever and i would definitely be back again.
