Anti-Static Device

Anti-static device next to the lift button at Shinjuku Prince Hotel.
Really thoughtful. Even the door knob & safety latch in the room had rubber casing over the steel to prevent "static shock".

Departure

Before we leave for Narita Airport, we had a chance to enjoy these great desserts with a cuppa using the vouchers given by The Shinjuku Prince Hotel. For guests who signed up the form not to change their towels daily but on alternate days, the hotel will  reward the guests with vouchers which can be used at all its F&B outlet and gift shops. I like this idea because it's environmentally friendly and I also get rewarded for doing my part. But most importantly, I don't see the need to change the towels everyday even though I've paid for the service because I don't have such practice at home.
The 10 days in Japan had been a memorable & special trip for me. And all the happy memories came flooding back while going through the pictures again to pick those which weren't included in the previous entries. 
There are so many first.
First time I saw snow.
First time I saw cherry blossom.
First time flying on the business class.
First time I saw the imperial carriages.
First trip with my Panny White, Xiao Bai.
First time having my food snatched by a crow.
First time travelling free & easy with my mom.
And many, many more.
But most importantly, I'm with my loved ones so that is what counts.

Organic Pastries

Non-dairy, organic food are being served at this quaint & quiet cafe at Shibuya. Can't remember the exact name but it should be around the Spain Slope.

Group Photo

Besides the few self-taken photos, me & mom didn't have a photo taken together during our Japan trip. So here's a group photo taken at Kamakura.

Sakura on Boardwalk

While my mom was resting her tired feet by the shade, I occupied myself with photo taking.
The petals of the cherry blossom are so white they are almost luminous.

Hakone Ropeway

Umbrella

Pretty umbrellas for sale at the gift shop at Hakone Open Air Museum. We saw alot of pretty umbrellas in Japan but the prices are just too expensive. Moreover, I hardly use an umbrella in Singapore unless it's pouring because I dislike carrying an umbrella .

吊桥

Alot of pictures never had the chance to make an appearance because there are simply too many to choose from. I'll be posting some of the pictures which were not included in my previous posts.
