  Here’s part 2 of my Tokyo trip! March 28th: Our main planned thing to do of the day was TeamLab Planets, and other than that, just chill in Tsukiji in the morning, and Asakusa and Ueno in the afternoon/evening.

  On February 11th, my boyfriend and I spent a day in Otaru to go see the lights that were happening in the evening. Apparently there’s a famous event there called the Snow Light Path (translated), and the 11th was the first day of the event. I decided to spend the whole day to make the…

• Sapporo Diaries: Special Guest and First Long Stay!

  I normally go to Sapporo on day trips on a weekend day so I don’t have to worry about staying too late and overnight, but this weekend was an exception, because my boyfriend is coming to visit me! The plan was to meet up with him in Sapporo Friday evening since he would land earlier…
