Did you know that you dont have to visit Yamanashi or Kawaguchiko to see Mount Fuji? Shizuoka is another prefecture in Japan where you can see the magnificent mountain, BUT with less tourists for sure 😉👌🏻
You can take shinkansen from Tokyo, reaching Shin Fuji station within 1 hour! For me Shin Fuji is the BEST station to explore mount fuji area, and Fujinomiya city is the town that you should be based on. This lesser known prefecture offers so much more than your typical tourist spots 🗻
Thank you to 200K Gulalee 🎉 Woke up with this good news and I am so grateful that you have been here as my pillar and safe space 🫶🏻
I started blogging when I was 13/14 years old as a tool to study english, and it became a bit real when I turned 19. My blog suddenly got a bit popular and I was invited to events here and there, from blogging awards to international event in Japan 🥹
I had met people who I would only see on screen, ate things which I would never imagine, and experienced stuff that I would never dare to dream of. In the past 12 years, I have grown as a person, been in an up and down moment, trauma and betrayal, great encounters and lifetime happiness 🌸 It would never be possible if I didn’t choose this path, which 12 years ago it was not as glamorous as of today. Bloggers were people who like to write for passion, business wasn’t booming, and it’s a weird job that elders raised their eyebrows
I had moved to Japan, fulfilled my childhood dream. Made a business out of something that I love, published my own preset and ebook, including made a private trip with my online family. It seems like things were all great but behind the scene it’s the same like everyone else, there were tears behind it 🥺 Thats why I never take this for granted 🙏🏻
I have been as open as I can through this platform. Trying my best to provide honesty and information, there were times when I almost gave up and quit, but now I find great balance and content with it. You all been there on this journey, from how I saved money, traveled and moved to Japan, built my own house, and even had my surgery done in Korea 🤣
I hope from now on we would build a positive community 🫶🏻 Because I always say this to everyone, I am nothing without my gulalee ❤️ And I do mean it. Thank you to every single one of you for being here ☺️🙏🏻
In my barbie era, off to find my Ken in Barbieland 🌸🌸🌸
Being a woman is already hard enough, might as well not give a fck about society’s standard which is ruled by men 🫢

I cant believe that we were the only one in this area! This spot is located near Taiseki-ji in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka. The whole street was decorated with full bloomed sakura trees lined up beautifully, as if it’s a dream 🌸
Some tips for sakura hunting :
– Go to non touristy area, skip Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka
– Instead of Kawaguchiko, try Shizuoka, another prefecture where you can see Mt Fuji
– Ask local friends and communities to find out which spot is blooming, as there might be some area which is still in bud shape and while others are full bloom
– Use Instagram story to check the latest 24 hours condition of a certain place you want to go
Who’s coming for Hanami this weekend? 🌸📸
Would the husband forgive this intoxicating abundant love that his wife has towards me? I think this obsession becomes a bit too unhealthy for both of us 🤪
Because sakura is there if you know where to look 🌸✨
This year, finding sakura has been the most challenging for me in the last 10 years. They’re blooming very late and not at the same time. Some places still have buds, while others are almost in full bloom. The rain hasn’t made it easier, but looking for sakura is something I love doing every year, so I keep trying to find them, no matter what 🌸
I hope anyone who visit Japan this spring is able to see at least one or two sakura trees 😉💖
I have now listed this swing at @makainofarm_official as Top 3 Prettiest Swing in Japan 👌🏻✨
To reach Makaino Farm, head to Shin Fuji station via Shinkansen. Take a local bus (1 hr) and you’ll be here! The swing itself is free but there’s entrance fee to the farm which is only 1200 yen for an adult

Finally kebagian nyobain masker viral no 1 di Jepang 💯
Introducing DERMA LASER SUPER VC100 Mask yang mengandung 4 jenis vitamin C dan menang Best Sheet Mask Award! Dijualnya di seluruh Donki di Jepang tapi sering sold out karena viral banget banyak direview influencer Jepang 😭 Kalau kamu ke Jepang dan liat ini, better BORONGGGG!!! 🫶🏻 Karena sebagus itu
Ketika pakai pertama kali aku kaget karena merah merah di kulitku langsung mereda, kulit lebih cerah dan kenyal, serta warna kulit merata. Sejak saat itu aku pakai berulang kali dan makin bagus kulitku 🥹🫶🏻 Truly RECOMMENDED 💯
Bisa juga jadi ide oleh oleh dari Jepang nih buat your girls or sisters 😘 Mana serum nya tuh generous banget, bisa dipakai di leher maupun badan dan harganya pun affordable banget untuk kualitas vit C segini 😍
Yuk share ke sesama temen kalian yang suka skincare an 🌸
SHARE KE TEMEN KALIAN YANG MAU JALAN JALAN KE JEPANG
Kalau jalan jalan nyaman di Jepang, kira kira butuh biaya berapa ya? Tidak semua orang jalan jalan dengan backpacker style, ada yang tipe comfortable, ada juga dengan luxury. Kalau di sini aku akan spill kisaran budget yang harus kamu siapkan untuk jalan jalan yang comfortable di jepang 💖
FLIGHT TICKET ✈️ :
Lupakan low cost airline atau transit lama, pilih 5 stars airline dengan direct flight agar lebih nyaman dan tidak membuang waktu. Economy flight ticket biasanya berkisar di 9-13jt an. Sedangkan business class bisa di 30-40jt
HOTEL 🏨 :
Dengan budget 4-5jt, kalian memiliki pilihan untuk tinggal di hotel di tengah pusat kota, dekat dengan tempat turis dan pusat perbelanjaan. Terutama di Tokyo yang spacenya kecil, kalian bisa mendapatkan hotel yang cukup luas untuk beraktivitas dan membuka koper. Harga hotel ini untuk 1 orang saja, bila kalian pergi dengan teman atau pasangan, maka bisa saja lebih murah karena dibagi 2
FOOD 🍱 : Pastinya kalian ingin menyantap hidangan hidangan lezat seperti sushi dan yakiniku berkualitas tinggi. Omakase ada di harga 10-30k yen yakni sekitar 1-3jt. Dengan budget 3jt per hari, rekomendasiku adalah omakase sushi for lunch di harga 10k yen, dan dinner 15k yen. Bila ingin lebih splurge, bisa dinner di 30k yen, dan makan siang yang biasa di 2000-3000 yen saja
TRANSPORT 🚕 : Mix antara taxi dan juga kereta. Taxi di Jepang tergolong mahal karena 2km pertama di harga 100rb an. Plusnya adalah tidak perlu capek naik turun tangga maupun nyasar salah membaca peta. Biaya transport airport one way taxi dari Haneda ke pusat Tokyo berkisar di 8000-9000 yen, sedangkan Narita 20-30.000 yen. Kalau aku pribadi, Haneda masih ok untuk taxi, tapi kalau Narita lebih baik menggunakan kereta
ACTIVITY 🗼: Disney, USJ, Warner Bros Studio, Team Lab, dll. Tidak lupa membeli fast pass dll. Aku budget kan di 5jt per minggu untuk aktivitas, dan sudah include untuk budget jajan jajan kecil
Kira kira kalian prefer jalan jalan nyaman atau backpacker style?

Team Lab just recently opened a new exhibition at AZABUDAI HILLS, named Team Lab Borderless, which is enough reason to visit Tokyo this year 🗼
The museum itself consists of a lot of interactive rooms but I love that they bring back the famous Bubble Universe room as shown on the video. The ticket is only 3800 yen per adult and 1500 yen per kid (4-12 years old), and as for kids under 3 it is free 😆✨
