Japan - April 14th to April 22nd 2014

Finally I decided to take a tour to Japan despite so many hesitation.  Mm... the trip was a bit too short I should say, overall enjoyable.  I took more about 900 photos with my camera, unfortunately I could not share all.  Just some nice ones here.

My main objective is to see Sakura flowers and Mount Fuji.  Lucky of us that we could see the tailing of the flowers and a glimpse of the mountain.  It was just visible at the tip, we were not able to go to step 4 as said, gate was closed a Step 1.

Oh... flowers everywhere... I really could not forego snapping here and there, on the bus, at the sides of the roads, everywhere. Disneyland was wonderful, again I tried to get as many as possible in my camera.  I had a video on the Disneyland Parade, when thousands of Japanese and tourists enjoyed at the show.
