What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I went to the Kawaguchiko Music Forest. Set up like a European town, the little theme park had gardens, beautiful little buildings, and musical instruments on display. I got to see two mini-concerts, and people interested in cosplay could rent a princess outfit for 1000-yen (about $10).

Other Travel News from this week:

My sister and I stayed in Kawaguchiko for two days. We got to experience staying at a capsule hotel as well as renting a swan boat. It was a lot of fun. However, traveling can also exhausting. I got sick during my Kawagushiko trip and felt horrible on the way back home. So, remember to rest up before going on a trip, eat well and drink lots of water!
