Exploring japan before departure.

As the study tour came to an end I stayed in japan till the evening of 27/Feb. I went to multiple locations in and near Tokyo.

Tokyo metropolitan government observation deck at Shinjuku.

One of the places I have visited was Yokohama. I saw pictures of Yokohama at night at 2010 and I was like “I must see that place “. At yokoham, I Passed by Nissan gallery on my way to yokohama tower and saw their electric cars with zero emission.

 

I went to yokohama tower before the sunset. Observing the sunset next to mountain Fuji was truly enjoyable moment. At night… the city didnt disappoint me and looked so facinating with its lights.

After that day, I started visiting multples mountains near mountain Fuji. I saw the snow for the first time at Miyagase Lake. There was some closed traditional shops facing the lake and it felt like an old traditional Japanese village. It was really nice and calm place.

One of the awsome places was Mitake mountain which was fully covered with snow and was not crowded that day as it was weekday. I saw a small closed coffe shop with free wifi in the middle of nowhere in the mountain !! It was amazing that there is a wifi spot in the mountain lost between the vast trees.

Hakone mountain west of tokyo.

Hakone mountain was an awsome place with a huge lake and I saw a small frozen lake in there too !!.

The japanese lady I met when arrived to japan has invited me to here mother house before I leave japan the next day. I have seen a lovely typical japanese house like I saw it in a japanese movie or an anime.

In the morning we went to an observing spot on Tokyo bay, we headed to the airport in the evening. During boarding the crew checked my drone lithium battery and showed it to the captin😂..after few minutes of contacts they brought it back and confirmed it is safe to carry on. The plane seats where all taken so I couldnt take 3 seats to sleep on like I did in my outbound flight.

This trip to japan was a long and informative, I visited some high end facilities of different institutions and visited the Nanotech 2018 exhibition along with a sightseeing around tokyo🙂.. made an awsome friends some of them I will be meeting again in Melbourne.

This awsome trip has come to an end but made some nice friends and awareness of the opportunities in japan 🙂.

No more “to be continued” 🙂

The end.
