    Amanda's confidence in Felix..."we should have hired a photographer."🤣
    Cherry blossoms are now on my bucket list! You must have heard me, I'm yelling at my screen to dip the crab stick into the crab shell! Felix and I think alike.😂 All that good looking street food, I am drooling!

    I knew you had to be going up north to see the cherry blossoms because my friends said they bloomed in Tokyo in early April this year. The cherry blossom "front" is starting earlier and earlier each year with climate change. The sakura in Aomori were "mankai" (full-bloom) and absolutely spectacular! I used to live next to Inokashira Park in Tokyo, and when the petals fell, there were waves of light pink showers, and the ponds and paths were covered in blankets of pink petals. The sakura in Aomori look like a different variety from the usual ones in Tokyo (little balls), and maybe they last a little longer. The dark pink ones are special, too. By the way, I traveled to Hokkaidō for the snow festival and came back to Tokyo through Aomori by regular train, and I donʻt recommend it for people from warm places like Hawaiʻi unless you want to really see the Snow Country of Japan or youʻre just going to zip through on the Shinkansen. Dealing with the heavy snow on train platforms, roads, around buildings, etc. (The snow can pile up to the second floor of homes!) is ʻtaihen." I visited the Tōhoku region and Hokkaidō in the summer, too, but it looks like you went in just the right season. Thereʻs nothing like matsuri street food in Japan! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience!

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  Před rokem +1

      It was an absolute highlight and magical day on the trip and a beloved memory for sure! We’ve always wondered about the Shinkansen going from Hokkaido to Tohoku 🤔 the thought of going underwater kinda scares me though 😰 lol we would love to one day see the Yuki matsuri in Hokkaido too!

    • @JodyY808
      @JodyY808 Před rokem +1

      @@AmandaFelixEats When I was there, the tunnel to Hokkaidō hadnʻt been built, so we had to take the ferry. The ride to Kushiro in 2nd class steerage on bare floors (we were poor students) was overnight through rough seas, and almost everyone got seasick. The ferry back to Honshu was OK, but took several hours and a couple of my friends still got seasick. I think the convenience of the Shinkansen is worth it. You definitely should go to the Yuki Matsuri someday, but I hear they also have problems with climate change, and recently there have even been times when it wasnʻt cold enough or enough snow to keep the ice sculptures on display.

    Wow! Really hit it at peak time! We missed it by a few days. We were there for a short stay on 4/16~4/17 of this year. Unfortunately, we never turned the corner to see that stretch of all those amazing food stalls. Thanks for sharing!

  • @uniotter2662
    @uniotter2662 Před rokem

    Wow, that was truly magical! I think that's the way to see cherry blossoms -- it didn't seem as if the crowds were as crazy as some I've seen. Making note of that for when I finally go during cherry blossom time back to Japan. And OMG the okonomiyaki with the yakisoba, and all of those other street foods looked AMAZING! 😋

    The first time I went to Japan it was Golden Week, I was going for work and my Site Manager told me to take a Tuesday and go to Hirosaki Castle for the Cherry Blossoms. It was amazing. Across the street is Tanaka Lacquer where they still lacquer by hand and you can watch in the windows. So much fun. I love seeing it through everyone's eyes.
