Hello,

I
hope you are all well.

Recently
I got a week off work for Obon. I planned a big trip around Nagano,
Nigata and Niko.

On
day one I got up early and hoped on the local train and headed to
Nagano. It took about 6 hours, but it was amazing. On the way I got
to see the Japanese alps, and the most beautiful nature I am yet to
see in Japan. Georgus trip! 

When
I arrived in Nagano I decided to go and explore. There was a festival
on the main road celebrating
Obon (I think). There was lots of music, Jazz bands and local food.
It lead all the way up to Zenkoshi temple. About 10pm I found an
internet cafe and went to sleep. 

The
next morning I woke up, but I was feeling very tiered. I decided to
cut my trip short and returned to Tokyo. I spent the rest of Obon
eating pizza and watching movies. Unfortunately
I am now fat 🙁 

Time
to hit the gym 😉
