Tohoko - Trip to a Snowy Wonderland

We only had 4 days in Tohoku for the snow and onsens(hot springs). In retrospect, it was an ambitious plan to try to experience both autumn leaves and winter snow in one trip to Japan.

We started off with Mt. Fuji then Kyoto for autumn leaves. Tohoku was the second leg and Tokyo would be our last leg for shopping at Harajuku(Burberry Blue Label Flagship Store) and Shibuya.

The entire Japan Autumn/Winter trip took us 13 days and we probably travelled over a thousand km on the Shinkansen.

It was late November and we were very lucky to get lots of snow at Hanamaki and Tazawako.
