Yomiuriland is an amusement park in our neighborhood, about 1 hour away by train from where I live. I find it incredibly expensive when you compare it to the entrance fee of Disneyland (3900 Yomiuriland, 5000 – 6200 Disneyland). It was very cold and windy that day so I didn’t enjoy it that much. We only paid 1000 Yen though, a special entrance fee for the Sakura event. You had to pay for all the rides but we only rode two big rollercoasters and just wandered around.

This park was lovely. It was a combination of forest, a mountain and a park. So we had to climb a loooooot of stairs to get there! We didn’t notice the “mountain” Kanji in the name of the park, lol.. xD But as a present it was a lot lot lot more relaxing than in Ueno where it was extremely crowded with Japanese and also tourists. There were even monkeys in the park!! Pachi hates monkey so she didn’t really enjoy it… but I did! (^__^)<\/div>\n

..hope you enjoyed this selection of more than 200 pictures I took in about 2 weeks! I found it kinda hard to get good pictures of the flowers and the atmosphere.
