2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Fondest memory: A bridal salon which I came across while walking around the city. Getting married is a big occassion in Japan. Some even accumulated debts of huge quantum to just have a grand wedding! (No, I didn't read this in any guide book; it was through watching many Japanese TV series that I get to know the daily lives & practices of Japanese. Another great way to indulge in the culture of a foreign country.

Favorite thing: SAKURAYAMA SHRINE.


Fondest memory: Came across this shrine while walking towards Iwate Park. There are as many shrine (if not more) as castles in Japan. If you have not visited a shrine before, this is a good opportunity to visit one where Kami are worshipped at shrines (jinja) in the Shinto religion. Shinto was state religion from 1870s to 1940s but few Japanese are purely Shintoists these days.

The Japanese culture is truly charming & amazing. Immersed in it & you'll be changed forever!

Favorite thing: Try this mode of transportation in Tohoku. This is one area where I found bicycles to be so popular that huge parking lots are found everywhere in the cities of the Tohoku region.

 MORIOKA was where I based myself for 3 nights on my Tohoku trip. From Morioka I went on day trips to the Akita & Aomori Prefecture. For the first 3 days of my stay in Morioka, I (more or less) just......
