日本！

春休みに、私は日本に行きました。３日間、りょうこに行きました。これはしゃしんです。

The hot spring at はこね. This one is not for bathing though.

富士山 picture taken from はこね. I think those brown trees in the background are mostly sakura trees. We were there too early, imagine how nice it would be if all those sakura trees bloom.

くろたまご (Egg hard-boiled in the hot spring). This is はこね specialty. For some reason, after being boiled in the hot spring, the shell becomes black. It kind of taste like normal boiled egg with some weak sulfur smell.

Mt.Fuji from Hakone lake. It was slightly foggy so the mountain is not very clear. I was told that Mt.Fuji is "shy" because you can not see it if the weather is not extremely clear.

For some reason, they had temporary Doraemon exhibition in Hakone this month. There are tons of these Doraemon dolls, each with different tools, all around Hakone. How many of these tools do you know?

The Meiji Shrine in Tokyo.

よよぎこえん (Yoyogi Park) in Tokyo. Sakura already bloomed. It was extremely beautiful, and crowded too!

Imperial Palace Garden.

Asakusa temple.

だいぶつ (Big Buddha) in かまくら.

はせてら (Hase Temple) in かまくら

はせてら

Shopping street in Kamakura. It is very busy for some reason.

うえのこうえん (Ueno Park). This is near where my conference was. We walked around there on the last day after the conference finished.

Ueno park with all the sakura blooming. It is very crowded as usual.

Whole tuna at つきじ (Tsukiji fish market). The knife they use is huge.

Queue for the sushi restaurant in Tsukiji. It was basically full of tourists.

Sushi!!

東京大学 (University of Tokyo), where the conference took place.
