Malaysia Food Street

Whilst in Singapore, we visited this cool indoor food street on Sentosa island near to the entrance of Universal studios. There were loads of vendors selling all kinds of Malaysian dishes.

We went on a roadtrip to Matsumoto castle in Nagano as well as the Zenkoji temple. Both were incredibly pretty even though we didn’t have the best weather.
The following day we went for a drive out to see the snow monkeys, although there wasn’t much snow there was still plenty of monkeys and they weren’t too shy either.

Mt Fuji

Took a drive to Lake Kawaguchi west of Tokyo today. Cloud cover finally cleared and Fuji-san showed himself. Made the drive worthwhile

Kusatsu / Gunma

Recently went on a long weekend trip to Kusatsu and Gunma. Kusatus is one of the top Onsen or hot spring towns of Japan. It has a natural flow of spring water of over 30,000 L per minute, and the town center is constantly bathed in steam. Have to say, the place stinks…. in that there is a very strong sulfur smell, but we had a great time and the water felt fantastic.

Nagatoro

Took some pics in Nagatoro, a little town a couple of hours north of Tokyo. The town is most famous for the beautiful river that runs through it, and of course. The Kakigori. Highly recommend a visit if you get the chance.

Nikko Trip

Been a while between posts, and simply this has been due to laziness as there has been no shortage of material for me to post about.
Recently we went on a road trip to Nikko, stayed the night up there in a lovely Onsen, and took some time to take a look at the leaves as they started to turn colour.
