the elvesI wanted to do another archery so convinced them that it would be another Japan experience since it’s not that famous back home. Since Kamy is already going home, we immediately put it into action :D .  We can still use the seasonal 18-Kippu so we opted for that.

When to arrive in Isawa Onsen, Yamanashi Prefecture by 9 am to catch the 9:25 bus to take all the way to the location.  Rendezvous was in Shinjuku Station @ 6:00 am , so each us must catch the earliest train possible to make it in time. Everybody was still sooooo sleepy..

oath of the elves

It’s been ages since I’ve updated, my kansaiblogger site was taken down so i lost all my entries there. So I’ll continue my Japan adventures here.  Just moved to Tokyo last March and trying to make the best of what’s in here.

One good thing of moving here is that I get to closer to my cousin and her family and get to play with my nephews anytime I want and since Lisa also moved to Yamanashi , I can also visit her if i got some time which happened a couple of weeks back.

Got to try some field archery in Yamanashi, a 2 hours train ride out of Tokyo and 40 minutes bus ride from Isawa Onsen station.
