In 2017 I had a family trip to Taiwan for 2 weeks and so I thought that year I won't be going to Japan which will end the strike (I have went to Japan for 3 consecutive years previously from 2014 to 2016). However a friend of mine was planning his first Japan trip with his girlfriend and asked me do I want to tag along too, sort of to be their guide (LOL). Initially I rejected, but after checking the air ticket and asked my brother does he wanna go, I agreed to my friend we will go with them to Tokyo only (the couple planned to go Hakone and Kansai as well). And so in October 2017, me and my brother went for a short trip to Tokyo!
After spending 3 days at Kansai area, the next day I continue my trip to Kinosaki Onsen (城崎温泉)
It's already more than a year since the outbreak of COVID-19, and most of the countries have already started the vaccination phase on front liner and the senior citizens. Have things started to get better?
In 2016, just 8 months after my previous Japan trip in 2015 I went to Japan again. Same reason as the previous one, I went there for Perfume's concert. After looking at the list of location they're having the concert, I've decided to attend the one held at Fukui and I used that opportunity to explore Kansai (関西) and Hokuriku (北陸) area.
