Oh the places I've been...

Sorry it's been a while... I've been busy traveling around Japan. I have now been to all four major islands of Japan. Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kuyshu. I figure I am doing pretty good in my Japan travels. The last week of March and first week of April our school had our spring break. I have two different friends come to visit from the states during this time. I am now a certified tour guide... The first week my friend Nathan came to visit. Here are some pictures of his visit.

Tokyo Tower 

The first week Nathan we here I was in work still so we made a few little trips near Yokohama. We visited Endoshima and Tokyo Tower. The next week I was off of school so we traveled to Nagano and Yudanaka to visit the snow monkeys. After Nagano we took a Shinkansen to Nikko. Nikko was pretty cool. The temples were awesome and so was Lake Chuzenji.

 The original hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys. 

This trip was really fun. We got to see a lot of history, a cool lake, two waterfalls, and to top it off we found the best fish hatchery ever.
Once we got back to Yokohama we went to a garden to see if the cherry blossoms had started.

There were a few blossoms but most were still not opened up. The next day we went to Lake Ashi and Odawara Castle. 

Overall this was a great trip with Nathan. We saw some really old things and some really amazing views.
