I like traveling. It’s good for learning about the different cultures of the world, relaxing yourself and recharge.

Japan, what a fascinating country I like to travel the most. It has the traditional cultures and innovative design in the country. People are polite and friendly. Surrounded by trees, ocean, mountains, hot springs, beautiful scenery are everywhere such as a picture. There are many delicious food and many kinds of restaurants in Japan.

Transportation is really complicated in Japan, but it’s very important on your trip. Because it’s very far away from one place to the other. So planning a trip is very important to make your trip go smoothly and easily.

One time, I planned a long trip from Tokyo to Nagano for snowboarding, and passed by Karuizawa for shopping, then came back to Tokyo to enjoyed the cherry blossoms.

The JR pass (train ticket) is very useful on this trip, because you can unlimited to use the pass in the continued five days. If you decide to go to a lot of places including in the line, you can save money and you don’t need to buy any tickets at the train station. Just show your JR pass to them then get on the train . But you need to order the pass online before you visit Japan, and get the pass lined up in the JR ticket center when you arrive in Tokyo. That’s a little bit inconvenient.

The train station was very busy, many passengers were waiting for the train. Some of them were asking the staff some questions. And made me confused was there are many entrances in the station, which is connected to the underground shopping mall. For the long trip, you can get some Japanese style boxed meal at the station. 

Traveling by train is a special experience. It took one and a half hours from Tokyo to Nagano by train. People in the train were keeping quiet, so we spoke softly and enjoyed the view of the countryside and the delicious boxed meal. What a fantastic view outside through the train windows. In the sign were a lot of farmland in green and yellow and small houses under the blue sky. And cherry blossoms are everywhere in Tokyo. It was another world when the train arrived at Nagano, it was still winter there in March. Snow covered the trees and houses. Think snow was on the top of the mountain, people were skiing there. Here was a little colder than in Tokyo. That was my perfect plan for the trip to enjoyed snow and flowers.

Traveling by train is really interesting than by plane. Because it was so boring sleeping on the plane and without views.

China also has big railway development now, and China has a lot of fantastic places I have never been. Therefore, we can travel to a lot of places in China by train.

I hope all the virus will gone soon, everything will get back to normal. And I can travel again.
