Bus Tour 1

Mum kept saying that she wanted to visit Shirakawa-go. So months before my parents came, I booked a bus tour to Shirakawa-go via Club Tourism.

I booked a 2 days/1 night tour which costs about 27,000yen per person.

At 7.40am, we departed from Nishi-Funabashi station and began our long bus journey towards the West side of Japan.

Along the way, we got some really nice views of Mount Fuji, etc.

Even the service area that we stopped at, had a nice lake view

In Japan, service area are like pitstops along the high way with restrooms, restaurants and souvenir shops.

There Dad discovered the hot coffee machine and loved it~!

As it was early January and we were travelling further to the west where snowfalls are heavier, all along the way, we can see snow covered fields.

It also started to snow later in the afternoon.

I really enjoyed the views, coming from hot country that never snows.
