tokyo towerhello,
im back in tokyo again. im so happy to be here this time of the year. it's a cherry blossom season in japan. they are so beautiful and only last for a week or 2, so i feel lucky!
i went to a few famous cherry blossom places, meguro-kawa（目黒川）, kamakura（鎌倉）, and chidoriga fuchi（千鳥ヶ淵 ）. weather was perfect and it was amazing view.
i dont usually go back to japan so often, and since im away from japan for 15 years, i appreciate many little things about japan which i didnt even notice when i used to live here.
things i love about japan.
1. people are so polite and i believe japanese customer service is the best in the world! at bank, grocery store, post office, everywhere i go, they treat you like you're the queen.
2. trains and buses are so clean and don't smell like cta. drivers are also very polite and nice.
3. convenience store. i will miss japanese seven eleven, ampm, and ローソン。they carry many teas which i love.
i appreciate these little things.
im going back to chicago next week. i cant wait to finally get back to print!

Finally another post, Yuko! Those cherry blossom trees are breathless...I would love to travel to Japan during this time - you're a lucky girl! Appreciate your time in Japan while you can =)
The trees are gorgeous! I can completely understand why you would be excited about the lack of CTA smell on the Japanese public transportation.
I just discovered your site via bloesem. Loved seeing the photos from Hayama. We moved back a year ago to the US after 4 years living in Shichirigahama and are missing Japan and all our friends and especially the beach!
