As the sakura petals fall to the ground they form a pink blanket which is just beautiful.

J-Pop!

If you are interested in the music scene in Japan or Asia in general and are in Australia, then check out channel SBS at 8.30am on Sunday's for PopAsia. This features the latest video clips from Japan, Korea and China.

I have watched it for a few weeks and it's a lot of fun and they all take their pop music very seriously!

Give it a chance and immerse yourself into Asian pop and keep up with the latest J-Pop for your next trip to Japan!

Home cooked meal in Japan - Nagomi Kitchen

I found this on the internet last night and I just had to share it with you all! This company organises for visitors to go to a local Japanese family's house to have a genuine home cooked meal.

I think this is such a great idea. I will definitely sign up for the experience on my next trip!

Check out the link here: http://www.nagomikitchen.com/

You can also do some cooking classes to learn how to make some authentic Japanese meals. Awesome!!!

Cherry Blossom Celebrations

As the cherry blossom season gets under way in Japan, I thought it would be nice to share some of the photos I took of the cherry blossom atmosphere/celebrations and the blossoms themselves.

A spectacular event in Japan and indeed the world.

Enjoy the photos over the next week or so.
