Ise Grand Shrine!
☆6th February 2011                                                  Sunday☆
Tumblr media
Had buffet style breakfast at the top floor ;D
Incident: So there was this sloppy looking guy sitting at the next table trying to talk (English) to the Western couple who was trying to have their breakfast at next table.. xD The awkward conversation was about him wanting to give them a tour around the Mount' Fuji area and finally, he requested on exchanging phone numbers.. Obviously, the couple was reluctant but they got his number and was like, "Sure, we'll call you if we have the time thank you very much" while getting ready to leave.
And I thought,"Hahah, they will NEVER do that! They'll just delete his number later! LOL!"
Soon after, I heard "Give me a miss call so I can have your number too" And I felt so bad for the couple, I could imagine the trouble they're gonna face xD And so they did and left gloomily.. Next, we got "attacked"! LOL! It seems like he is some kind of a professor and looking at him.. I could somehow guess that he'd over worked or something =..= A little "cuckoo" get what I mean?? And again he was trying prove his English after discovering I'm an exchange student.. =..=" Thankfully, we were almost done with breakfast when he started talking..
The highlight was that when we left, he shouted goodbye from behind and when I turned to do the same.. He winked at me with a perverted smile on his face which gave me goosebumps.. Uhhh.. It's still stucked in my head.. T____T One of the grossest experience in my life.......
Tumblr media
A whole Hina-kazari set in the hotel! =D
Tumblr media
We checked out and departed for Ise ^____^
Tumblr media
We're going to visit one of the most famous and oldest shrine in Japan ;D
Ise Grand Shrine was divided into two regions.. Naikū (内宮) and Gekū (外宮).
Tumblr media
And here's the entrance to the Gekū (外宮)..
Tumblr media
Pictures of the shrine.. =]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A huge tree trunk as old as.. .. Hm.. Yes.. Very old.. =p
Tumblr media
A piece of Japanese culture ^____^
Tumblr media
Entrance to the Naikū (内宮)..
Tumblr media
Pictures of the shrine.. =]
Tumblr media
There's a beautiful river flowing through the shrines ^____^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at this priceless view =D

Ojiro's family and me~ =')
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another unbelievable experience.. O..o"
Tumblr media
Everyone is trying to get to the top to say their prayers..
Tumblr media
We're almost there after all the squeezing and pushing..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
皇大神宮 (Kōtai Jingū)
Tumblr media
And lots of old Japanese houses which I love so much =D
Tumblr media

Nagoya with Ojiro!
☆5th February 2011                                                  Saturday☆
So the president of Ikebukuro Rotary Club, Ojiro-san wanted to host me but of some inconvenience, couldn't.. So he and his wife decided to take me on a trip to Nagoya! =D Hooray~!
Tumblr media
And of course we took the Shinkansen ;]
Tumblr media
Yes, Mount. Fuji~!
Tumblr media
After checking in the awesome hotel, we first visited the Nagoya Castle =]
Tumblr media
名古屋城 (Nagoya-jō)
Tumblr media
Like every other royal property.. It's freaking wide.. =p
Tumblr media
Can you guess which part of the castle this object is?? =]
Tumblr media
Can you spot it now?? ^____^
Tumblr media
Look at the beautiful scenery~♥
Tumblr media
There! Right on the roof top! =D
Tumblr media
Ojiro-san's wife! She's very sweet and kind lady =] Very special ^^ And if you look properly, she kinda looks like 大長今 from the Korean drama xD
Tumblr media
Going into the castle~
Tumblr media
View from the top of the castle =]
Tumblr media
We can see our hotel from here =D
Tumblr media
Awesome picture ;D
Tumblr media
Random but interesting picture from history =p
Tumblr media
Leaving the castle..
Tumblr media
Nagoya famous きしめん (Kishimen)~♥
Tumblr media
Next destination was Nagoya Tokugawa Art Museum =]
Tumblr media
徳川美術館 (Tokugawa Bijutsukan)
Tumblr media
Flowers of Japan~♥
Tumblr media
There's so many interesting stuff in the museum but photos aren't allow to be taken.. I managed this though.. It's a Hina-kazari set.. Check it out, it has a very interesting meaning =]
Tumblr media
There's also a beautiful park just outside the museum ^____^
Tumblr media
River flowing through the park..
Tumblr media
Here's something interesting =]
Tumblr media
Look at the size of the flower! xD
Tumblr media
"Sun" flower ♥
Tumblr media
Love this pink ^____^♥
Tumblr media
A Japanese Water Harp is something really fascinating! The harp consists of a buried earthenware pot, which is tipped upside down and has a hole drilled at the top. When drops of water fall through onto a permanent layer of water at the base it creates a subtle musical effect which differs depending on the weather. I ♥ it!=D
Tumblr media
Ojiro-san's wife =']
Tumblr media
Awesome pic! >____<
Tumblr media
Another awesome pic! xD
Tumblr media
The whole view of the garden.. Subarashii~! =D
Tumblr media

I did not mention earlier but we're staying at the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel! =D And I again have an awesome room all to myself! xD
Tumblr media
And this toilet..
Tumblr media
And this beautiful scenery from ma' window..
Tumblr media
