Traveling Japan

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been writing in a while. We've been traveling all around Japan. Tokyo, Sendai, Matsushima, Kanegasaki, Morioka, and now we are in Matsumoto. Next we will go to Hakuba, then Takayama, and finally back to Kyoto.

These are some pictures of me and my sister at this super cool park. The first picture is a huge slide. You get to climb up the rocks or climb up with ropes. See if you can see me and my sister at the top. (Hint - click on the picture and it will get bigger!)



The picture below is my sister and me on these rope thingeys. Unfortunately we didn't get too many pictures of the rest of the rope structure but it was huge and fun. There was also, liker I said, a playground not just made out of ropes that had things like zip-lines, tree houses, a giant stone dinosaur (that you could climb on) and a trampoline-like thing.



After that we went on an alpine slide, called "dream coaster." It was almost like a mini roller coaster, but you were in a single car and controlled your own speed with a lever. Be careful, don't go too fast - my sister was going top speed before we knew it she was on the ground! I went first with my mom, then by myself.



After that, we went on another slide called the "roller slide." It's a slide made out of roller things. There were three sections going down a small hill. This was the shortest of the three sections. There are two slides in this picture side by side, my sister and I wanted to go next to each other but neither of us wanted to go on the green slide because it had bird doo doo on it.

(P.S. - It really kind of hurts your butt!)

  1. Hi Aleeza! I love reading your blogs over and over, even when there aren't any new ones. I can just imagine you in that wonderful park in Matsumoto, climbing the mini mountain and sliding and roller coasting down the hills under the trees. Can you tell me something about the earlier pictures before Dad and Benna arrived --Where and what was the place where the pictures of you and Mom in "Japanese costumes", and the mini scenes of Japanese ladies (dolls) taking part in various ceremonies. I also loved the pictures of you and Benna in Dad's latest blog -- on top of the mountain, and on the chair lift. You seem to be having so much fun! It makes me sooo HAPPY!
    Love, hugs and kisses, Savta
