Japan-Blossoms, Sumo and Baseball
Thought I would post another mini-trip report from a trip I took in 2015. I try to go to Japan every spring..this one was a bit later than usual in May, but I still got in some Sakura viewing plus some sports events that sadly are no longer taking place thanks to COVID.

The photos were never really designed to be part of any formal trip report, but still, fun to look at what we were able to do easily, but cannot do today

Flying Toronto to HND

AC Premium Economy--Leg Room

PE Meal-quite good



But the wine is terrible...Y class plonk.

Sakura in Karuizawa

Thank you the photos and happy memories. I miss Japan so much too and I hope you can head over sooner than later.
