Mum and Dad came to visit me and my brother in Summer 2008 and we went to Enoshima, an island connected to the main island of Japan by bridge. A beautiful island with a lovely beach that become crowded in Summer.
The main attraction of this island is of course its many shrines known simply as Enoshima Shrine. Other than shrine, you can visit aquarium in Enoshima, I like the jelly fish section :D

In Golden Week 2008, we went to Nikkou for the first time. Nikkou is famous for its onsen and mountain view. Should go there in Autumn.

Two paintings below are from photos, taken at Disney Sea, the second time I went there. The first time was with my fullcast friends in Summer 2007, it was a hell lot of fun. The second time was when my mom visited Japan in January 2008. We went there with my brother, just the three of us. Inside, I was so... thrilled to see a HUGE garden full of various kinds of tulips. So amazed *yeah my first time to see so many tulips, my fave flower* that I asked my brother - not really a fan of nature beauty - to take a lot of pics of me with the tulip garden until he grew impatient sheesh... If I went alone, I would love to just stare at those fabulous tulips and... just be there!
What is Torii? Well, as you can see here, it’s a Japanese gate that usually serves as an entrance to the sacred place. So you pretty much can find it in a shrine. I remember the trip to Nikko and how I was soo fascinated by this torii, placed just beside the lake.
Lucky I took quite a lot of pictures of the must-visit Nikko so I can use them as future references to make sketches :D
