Yokoso Japan Day 1 Part 1

Phew...Finally I am home earlier today!

Really wanna start blogging about my Japan Trip so HERE I AM!

As mentioned earlier, we took up the package offered by SA Tours Singapore, total costs per person S$2300, which is about RM1000+ cheaper than those offered by travel agents in Malaysia.

So 5 of us began our journey to Japan and my brother will be flying from UK to Japan to join us.

If I remember correctly, the flight was about 7 hours. We arrived in Narita Airport but we had to go to the Haneda Airport for our flight to Chitose Airport, Hokkaido.

Guess what we had for breakfast? SA gave us each a box of packed lunch, but not ordinary set lunch, according to the tour guide, its bento ordered from a hotel at Haneda Airport.

After visiting the Ainu Museum, we were brought to the Jigokudani – the Hell Valley,a spectacular, appropriately named valley, which displays hot steam vents, sulfurous streams and other volcanic activity.
