Although the attractions in Universal Studio Japan are quite similar to its counterparts in Hollywood or Orlando, some attractions, such as Snoopy Studio and Universal Studios Motion Picture Magic, are Universal Studios Japan's original. Leave a Comment

 Tazawako Lake and statue of
Tatsuko by naruto
Akita-ken itself has many beautiful sights and interesting festivals. Tazawako Lake is one of them.
Tazawako Lake is very beautiful and said to be the deepest lake in Japan. It does not freeze over during winter, and according to legend, there is a reason for that. Alongside the lake, there is a statue of Tatsuko a beautiful woman who lives with her dragon husband at the bottom of the lake. It is because of their passionate lovemaking that the lake does not freeze despite Akita-ken's severe cold winters.
During the summer, you can indulge in many water sports like boating, etc.
I STRONGLY recommend that you stay overnight at one of the hot springs resorts in the nearby Nyuto Onsen. They are very authentic, and most of them have outdoor hot springs nestled in the mountains. Leave a Comment Directions: Take a JR train to Tazawako station, then a bus for 15 mins to the lake.

Built in 1973 with the height of 53.32m, reinforced with concrete and steel, and like all pagodas, running down the centre is a giant pillar of Japanese Cypress tree wood. Leave a Comment

We spent the rest of the day on "Star Tours", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Haunted Mansion", "Peter Pan", "Jungle Cruise".
To be honest, Tokyo Disneyland is quite disappointing. The queu for the rides took at least 45 minutes for our turn to go on a 3 minutes ride. Yet something is missing from visiting the theme park if I don't go for any rides. As for different attractions there are only 2 or 3 which we can really call breathtaking.
The service standard is pretty amazing. Before and after every ride, the Japanese attendants would rattle off a chunk of Japanese greetings. They are like smiling robots! Leave a Comment

The castle is incredibly modern and looks great from outside. Inside the castle is an excellent museum that contains all kinds of interesting artifacts and information relating to the castle and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Leave a Comment

The Meiji Shrine was completed in 1920, and rebuilt after being destroyed in World War II so most of the current buildings date from 1958. It is located in a wooded park area next to Yoyogi Park in middle of the bustling city of Tokyo. Leave a Comment

Shinto deities are very happy and celebrate a lot. There is a huge display of sake casks in front of the Heian Shrine. Leave a Comment
