Sanrio Puroland was opened in 1990. At Kitty Land, we can enjoy the fun attractions including the fairy Theatre, Marchen Theatre and not forgetting their mysterious toilets which are very special. We can oso purchase large varieties of Hello Kitty products which are available oni there. it was really cute! kawaii!! Went dere to eat some thing.. all their stuff are hello kitty oso.. including receipts, straws, tissue paper and etc. After tat we proceed to the most popular Yokohama Chinatown, the biggest Chinese Settlement in Japan.

After breakfast, a day of excitement awaits us at the thrilling Tokyo Disneyland. The entrance passport allow us to have unlimited rides. The whole place is very big. It consist of Toontown, World Bazaar, Adventureland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and of cos my favourite MICKEY MOUSE. Get chance to hug and see him in persone tat make me almost go mad!!! Take pic wif him wa haha... We cant manage to play all the games dere. We was unable to play the games in Adventureland due to not enuf time for us. We gather at 4 plus and went for our dinner. haha.. it's buffet again.. lolx.. n headed back to the resort( Fit Resort Club) which is near Mt Fuji after our dinner. The resort was damn big! really bigger than those normal hotels and resorts. It's gives me the eerie feelings. At first i thought my mind was making a fool of me.. but the next day my mum told me she oso got the eerie feeling.. maybe the resort is too big le ba.

Day 4(Mount Fuji Lake District)
In the morning, after the breakfast, we went to Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest and most scared mountain. The scenery was very nice, there's snow dere too. Wow! nice nice nice! Then we had our traditional Japanese lunch. After lunch we proceed to Owakudani Valley, also known as "Boiling Valley", where sulphurous fumes rises from cervices in the rocks. Eeiuw! the smell of the fumes was horrendous! it was very smelly.. The unpleasant smell comes from hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). It is used to know that eggs are boiled there and if u are too eat the 1 egg u will be able to live 7 more yrs.. Next, we went to Hakone sightseeing cruise. It's a nice ship, it is designed like a pirates ship. Then we hitch a bullet train ride. From the outside, the train really travels fast but when u sit inside there is no difference from spore MRT.. lolx.. but it's very comfortable inside. It's seat is some sort like aeroplane seat but it some wad bigger. Follow by we went for our dinner at the hotel where we stayed. It's Japanese steamboat. After dinner we went to 99 Yen shop. The stuff dere quite cheap coz 99 Yen spore money oni $1.33.. My mum bought a lot of packets of chocolate but are to be given out to my relatives.. T.T not for us.. . When we crossed the road, a car suddenly stop, we thought that he was going to drive in to the car park into the hotel but nv did we expect that he stopped is jux becoz of us. So gd! Really leave us a gd impression of Japan. Their public toilets are oso very clean. Then we went back to the hotel for our bath n we put on Japanese Yukata (if I'm not wrong).

Day 5(Kyoto)
In Kyoto, a Geisha board the coach and accompany us on our tour of Kyoto. We then visit the famous Heian Shrine and we witness Nishijin Kimono Show. It's nice.. if they allow us to try on the kimono then will be fabulous. After the show we went for our lunch and headed towards Kiyomizu Temple which is nested in the quiet foothills of Mount Otawa which has a large verandan supported on hundreds pillars and was built in 1633. There are a lot of shops dere. A lot of their local stuffs.

Day 6(Nara)
After breakfast, we head for Nara. Sightseeing includes visits to Todaiji Temple of Daibutsu - the largest bronze Buddha structure in Japan within the serenity of Nara Deer Park thousands of deers roam freely. haha.. it's quite scary a first but after that not really and on the path way there are oso the shit of the deer.. lolx.. there's really a lot. Even if i had tried to avoid but i feel tat i had stepped onto some. Next, we visit Universal Studios Japan. With our passport tickets we are able to explore the various popular movie theme sites such as Jurassic Park - The Ride, E.T adventure, Terminator 2 etc. Omg! becoz it's christmas eve, there's a lot of ppl que-ing for the ride esp spiderman which we nd to wait for 3 hrs so we gave up que-ing for all the ride since all rides had to wait for so long, and we decided to tour inside rather than playing the games. Anyway, we managed to have one ride which cost us to wait for 1 hr.. lolx.. 1 hr wait jux for a 5 mins ride.. grr! it's unfair! Leaving the studios and headed off for our dinner at Osaka Castle where we are allowed to make our own Topoyaki(dunno how to spell.. lolx.), it's fun! at first i was struggling on how to make but later i found tat it was fun! wish tat i could make it again.. keke.. they oso gib us a certificate for doing it. After the dinner, we are given free time to explore the shopping and eating paradise " Shinsaibashi". Again we are window shopping coz we didn't buy anything.. lolx.. and headed off to Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport which is next to the airport. After bath, we went to the airport to walk arnd and went back to hotel to eat maggie mee! hehe.. then mum n her friends took a cab to the nearest lounge but the 3 of us stay in the hotel to slp.. i wanted to follow them but was tooo damn tired so forget it la anyway i'm not interested. hahaha

Day 7(Kansai)
Wake up in the morning for our breakfast in the hotel. It's the last day so we had our free time to shop in the airport. But the shopping was boring. We meet the rest at 1.30 pm and it's time for check in. After check in went for our lunch. Basically we jux rot in the airport till 4pm and we had to say Sayonara to Japan. It's quite sad.. Sad to leave such a wonderful country.

Overall
In overall, it's really a pleasant trip. I will miss Japan n i go back there one day. No matter wad, i will go back! Most prob is 5 yrs later.. haha.. which is long but nvm i will wait.. Japan is really a great country. Their country are clean, their ppl are polite and many many positive comments where S'poreans are lacking. How i wished that i could be dere foreva. Many ppl say that there things dere are expense but it's not really that expensive. It's quite affordable, oni the tour guide xiao fei and tour booking expensive. 3 cheers for Japan. This is the best country that i ever go! hooray! Hmm.. i oso feel blessed that i didn't diagnose the illness that is very popular now in Japan coz i heard from my tour mates that on thurs there are news in s'pore tat 9 S'poreans had contacted the illness. In my tour, there are 2 of them sick but fortunately they recovered fast.
