Lake Ashi

This journey was a feast for the soul. Wandering through the streets of unfamiliar cities, witnessing magnificent natural wonders, and savoring authentic international flavors, the interplay of beautiful scenery and unexpected surprises dispelled fatigue, leaving only a wealth of emotions and memories. This was not merely a geographical migration, but also the most beautiful reward for life.

It snowed heavily in Tokyo these past two days, and many itineraries were either blocked or completely covered by snow. There were also traffic jams and many cars skidding on the roads. Luckily, we met Zhang Ting, whose driving skills are excellent. He persevered for a long time (what should have been a 3-hour drive turned into 8 hours), remaining completely focused and helping us arrive safely at the attractions and return safely to the hotel. We are truly grateful to him for his continuous assistance throughout the journey, ensuring a rich experience despite the bad weather. Only the second day in Izu was sunny, and then it started snowing again in the afternoon… You can imagine how much more fun we would have had if the weather had been better. Regarding food, since I'm vegetarian, he patiently helped me communicate with the restaurant staff. In short, although the weather was bad, our tour guide was fantastic! 😊
