The ice cream is the highlight of this post for me. Any time I think of Japan, I think of Green Tea Matcha (and also how much I want it right now)
Did you visit during the summer? You seem to be wearing shorts and a t-shirt but the weather appears to be quite dull. Perhaps not the best day for taking scenic photos.
The ice cream is not really sweet which is more suitable to my wife, for me it’s a bit bland to be honest😅
Yes we visited there in May 2017, weather was quite hot during our visit, it wasn’t the best time to visit there as you said, no Cherry blossom there 😰 but both my wife and I only available at that time😫
