In my previous post, you already read that Kojima of Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture is the birth place of Japan-made jeans.

Today’s post is about this unique street dedicated to all denim lovers, and it is called Kojima Jeans Street – where the first pair of domestically-produced jeans was born.

The theme for the second half of 2018 and continuing into 2019 for me, is “Love Myself”.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. I know it’s true. There were some really dark moments earlier this year that rendered me incapable of feeling any sort of joy. I felt unloved from the world and I wasn’t capable of giving any either. I knew I couldn’t let it consume my whole soul, and slowly I tried to climb my way out of it.

Cheesie-only winter Tokyolife.

My last trip to Japan of the year. Also my 48th visit to Japan. I was there to experience Tokyo Sightseeing Taxi and it’s super awesome! Will share more on this real soon.

Today we are visiting Kojima (児島), a peninsula surrounded by the Seto Inland Sea located at the southern tip of Kurashiki city.

You won’t leave Tokyo without any shopping, and today I’m gonna add this to your list of malls to visit – Lotte Duty Free Ginza!

If you are visiting Japan from overseas, it would be a waste not to make use of your tourist status to shop for tax-free, but do you know what’s even better than tax-free? Tax AND Duty free!

Ok. Until today, people are still telling me that they cannot find any affordable fashion items in Japan. I just want to ask, have you guys been going to the wrong places? Did you only visit Ginza? Haha.

I have blogged about Tokyo DisneySea so many times yet there are still lots of things to talk about! Of course! It’s only my favorite theme park of all time ^^

So I flew back from Japan to attend a sharing session at Japan Rail cafe, Tanjong Pagar earlier this month to talk about my experience in Tokyo DisneySea for 3 days in a row. Thank you so much, for those of you who have come!

So today I’m introducing yet another attraction in Tokyo that not many people know about. I myself have seen and heard about this place (especially on TV) at least hundreds of times BUT even I did not know that it’s such an all-in-one entertainment spot!

Where else in Tokyo can you get a massive concert hall, a huge amusement park, lots of shopping, restaurants, museums, sports center, indoor kids playground, luxurious hotel, AND a natural hot spring ALL IN ONE SPOT? Maybe a resort at some remote island but I’m talking about Tokyo. Like, in the heart of Tokyo city. read more

Okayama was actually my 38th prefecture conquered in April this year. I bought my All Japan JR Pass and die die want to travel from Tokyo to Shimane as my mission was to visit Izumo Taisha (the second post powerful shrine after Ise Jingu).

(I should start a #47 Prefectures record for @cheesiepetit too!)

My mission is to travel to all 47 prefectures in Japan. I have also memorized the prefectural map of Japan by heart. ^^

In this post, I have included the prefecture breakdown of my blog posts by regions for your easy reference. For alphabetical order, you may refer to the right hand drop-down side bar, “Various Cheese”.

Come. Let’s study a little about Japan geography 101 today.

REGIONS OF JAPAN

As I owe the world pending Japan-travel blog posts from my many past trips, here’s a quick one on Hokkaido!!

If you are flying in to Hokkaido, chances are you will be landing at New Chitose Airport (新千歳空港), the largest airport in Hokkaido, also the airport serving the metropolitan area of Sapporo.

I’m sure you can’t wait to start your journey touring one of the most popular prefectures even for Japanese locals – Hokkaido (ranked no.1 for being the most charming prefecture within Japan year after year). read more

I can’t even remember the last time I went for an aesthetic procedure or even a facial at a beauty salon. It must have been 5 years ago. Because after that I was either pregnant or breastfeeding and these things were pretty much out of my life.
