#JapanDiaries: Instagrammed Adventures during Sakura Season

I had such major vacation hang over after our Japan Trip. Mainly because I have never walked so much since our trip in Singapore back in 2010 and at the same time I had to adjust to the sudden separation anxiety change of weather.

For those asking for our itinerary so I'll share it in this post. Actually, our itinerary was made by our Kuya Benz, who is Japan-based for more than 5 years now. We had to maximize our stay and be realistic enough so we consulted him for tips regarding travel time and commute route coming from his "mansion". (In Japan, they call their pad/flat/apartment housed in a low-rise condominium-like building ,a mansion.) For our first three days in Japan, Aprille and I were by ourselves, following Kuya's instructions,  discovering commute and mapping our routes through GPS. 

We arrived in the evening of my sister's birthday at Kansai Airport. From the time we landed at 8pm, we got home at around 11 pm (after taking the bus and a train going to Kuya Benz's place). I insisted to have a photo instagrammed right away for the first ever Sakura I saw, just by walking along the street/closed shopping street.

Konnichiwa Sakura at 12mn!
Now I don't really want to flood my blog with Japan Diaries from Day 1 to six so I will just post snippets and highlights from our trip:

Start of our itinerary after the jump!
