'elloooo

This was a surprise discovery. Originally after brunching on oyster we were to keep driving south to our first place of stay and well I had wanted to go to Tanada Rice Terrace but the weather was dearily and so the photos turned out not as nice as the ones you see floating around the web. Still when we got there and saw this little monument, I just had to take a picture. There is actually a few of these Yumi Katsura Lover's Sanctuary placed all around Japan and we found ours in the south. These were placed in order to bring about awareness of the declining birthrate. If you can read Japanese or have google translate please go check out their website on the link at the bottom of this post and maybe next time you're in Japan you can take a look and see where your closest Yumi Katsura Love Sanctuary monument is.

For our first night we stayed in a little onsen village in Saga. Our ryokan of choice was Ryokan Oomuraya. We had a Japanese traditional meal which is also known as Kaiseki, using the most in season ingredients to create a course meal for the guest to enjoy. The onsens were amazing and perfect to start our road trip adventures, and their private onsen were great too!

Well that was day one of our road trip adventures in Fukuoka, Japan.

Happy Easter everyone!

I am back! Back from my 3 and a bit weeks of travel in Kyushu, Japan. 

I actually just landed this morning around 6am and so I'm a little bugged out, didn't actually have the time or effort to go out and buy some Easter eggs to shoot so I used the chocolate I bought from Japan instead. Sorry in advance.

In the next coming posts, it'll be our trip around Kyushu, Japan.  Also, if you take a look at my Nendoroid Count, you can see that I did a bit of stocking up while in Japan.. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و really looking forward to shooting them and start posting more pics up. If you can't wait, you can take a glimpse at some of the shots on my Instagram account. I tried to updated my Instagram at least once a day so it's a small glimpse of what I've been up to.

Anyway, the first thing I did when I got back? Slept. Yup, I took a mini nap before unpacking my suitcase and reassembling the Nendoroids I bought. In order not to damage the boxes, I had to open them all and flatten them.. so it was a bit of reconstructing as soon as I got home. Then it was a quick shoot for Easter.

I arrived back in Sydney on Easter Monday, so technically I still made it.. barely on time to post a Easter shot. Here to celebrate with everyone on such a festive day is Hatsune Miku in her cheerful version. (*^▽^*)

More to come.

For those who do not know Shiro means 'white' in Japanese. In Japan and some other cultures March the 14th is White Day. On Valentines Day, February the 14th is the Day that girls gives their love interest chocolate to express their interest. You can see the crazy locker overhaul of pretty wrapped chocolates in a lot of anime and manga. White Day is the male counter of Valentines Day, where the male will return the favour with either a present. This can be anything, but it is generally, cookies, white chocolate, marshmallows and more.

So really I'm just playing on Shiro's name to celebrate today!

Giving all my love to Shiro (*´ω｀*) Here are some love shaped marshmallows!

We don't actually celebrate White Day in Australia, and even among the asian community, no one actually really celebrates White Day. Of course, I only learnt about White Day through the anime I've watched and found it fascinated how it works both way.

While I go off to spend my White Day alone with Shiro and Konnosuke. I hope you are having a very 'LOVE' filled White Day (-‿◦)
