One of the things I was most looking forward to on my Tokyo trip was seeing the cherry blossoms at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. As soon as I entered the park, I was amazed by the blossoms in full bloom. The pink and white flowers, spacious lawns, ponds, and gardens came together like a beautiful spring painting.
Walking beneath the cherry trees was incredibly romantic. Whenever a gentle breeze passed through, petals slowly drifted to the ground, making me stop and admire the view. The park was very pleasant, with visitors leisurely enjoying the blossoms, taking photos, and making the most of spring. Compared with the bustling city, Shinjuku Gyoen felt peaceful and elegant, allowing me to fully appreciate the magic of cherry blossom season.
This visit not only gave me the chance to enjoy some of Tokyo’s most beautiful spring scenery, but also helped me appreciate how deeply people in Japan value and cherish nature. Although cherry blossom season is brief, it left me with wonderful, lasting memories.

Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin Tenjin
This popular Hakata Ramen restaurant has six locations in Fukuoka Prefecture. The restaurant boasts a unique pork bone broth that is distinctly different from both Nagahama and Hakata ramen, based on the concept of "pure soup that everyone, young and old, men and women, will drink up.
走進店內，可以感受到濃厚的日式拉麵文化，雖然店內常有許多饕客排隊，但等待美食的過程也讓人充滿期待。
熱騰騰的拉麵送上桌時，豚骨湯的香氣立刻撲鼻而來。湯頭經過長時間熬煮，濃郁卻不會太過厚重，喝起來滑順甘甜，讓人一口接一口。細細的博多麵條吸附湯汁，搭配柔嫩叉燒、青蔥與木耳，口感豐富又美味。 -

Kyushu Natural Animal Park African Safari
The African Safari is the largest safari park in Japan where around 1400 animals of 70 species roam freely in its enormous area. The park is divided into two zones; the “Animal Zone” with its 6km safari road where visitors can get close to the animals from the “jungle bus” and the “Interacting Zone” where visitors can actually touch the animals.
My visit to Kyushu Natural Animal Park was a truly special wildlife experience. The park is enormous and feels like the African savanna. You can see lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, and other wild animals up close while experiencing the beauty and vitality of nature.
Riding the jungle bus through the animal zone was the most memorable part of the trip. Watching the animals approach the bus and even feeding them by hand was both exciting and fun. It also gave me a better understanding of their behavior. In addition to the larger animals, there are plenty of interactive areas with adorable smaller animals, making this a great place for families with children. -
