When it comes to fireworks shows, countless romantic scenes always come to mind.
Life is just about those few moments. I always feel that as long as I am under the brilliant fireworks, everything is worth it.
"Let's go, we have to watch the fireworks show." I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't watch the winter fireworks at the foot of Mount Fuji.
I never understood why Eason Chan said, "If you want to have something, you must first understand how to accept losing it."
Trying to accept someone's departure is probably the norm.
After all, the results of things that we try our best are often not satisfactory. On the contrary, those things that go smoothly beyond expectations are the real goals that can be achieved.
If you are 100% sure about something, it becomes boring.
There are three things I don’t write in code
First: I don’t write something that cannot be copied, because why should I use someone else’s wheel if they have already written it?
Second: I won’t write if I’m not allowed to use Chatgpt as a “support”, because I already know the basics and there’s no point in writing.
Third: I don’t write about things that are too difficult, because I haven’t reached that level yet and can’t write clearly.
The state of modern people rushing for the bus is: the less anxious they are, the easier it is to miss it. The more anxious they are, the easier it is to miss it.
Only by being anxious at one moment and calm at another can you avoid missing out.
This time when we were trying to catch a bus in Kyoto, my friend and I were sprinting 100 meters one second, and the next second we were dominated by free magazines on the roadside for 3 minutes.
Even though I missed the bus, I didn't really regret it. It was just a little bit of a pity, after all, most things are not something I can decide, they are just what we are born with.
Why take Japan's night bus? Why not take the Shinkansen? Why not take a plane?
In order to watch this fireworks display, we had to stay in Kawaguchiko for a night.
In order to spend a more wonderful afternoon in Kyoto, taking a night bus is the most time-saving option.
A little-known fact is that the Shinkansen is more expensive than an airplane.
However, there are no airports in Kyoto and Kawaguchiko area, so the most convenient way to go from Kyoto to Mount Fuji is to take a night bus.
Before leaving for the station in the evening, I completed all the washing work in the public toilet of the hotel, and then had a good sleep after getting on the bus.
The night buses in Japan are quite comfortable. It may also be because I chose the most expensive one (only 36,800 yen for four people).
The seats are divided into three rows, with small curtains in between and charging ports. What else do you need a bicycle for?
The only thing I want to complain about is that the bus lights were not turned off until more than an hour after I got on the bus, and the driver was always broadcasting, but I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. It was simply noise + light pollution.
At about 7am, the bus was about to arrive at Fujiyoshida City. Passengers got off the bus one after another, and we were at the last stop, Kawaguchiko Station.
After getting off the bus, Mount Fuji is right in front of us.
But for some reason I remembered the street lights at dusk, the swaying treetops, the wandering figures, and you who once wanted to listen to "Under the Mount Fuji" with me. The meaning is not important, maybe I met the right person at the wrong time. Maybe the person is wrong and the time is right. Maybe both are wrong, or both are right, it doesn't matter. We live too hurriedly, and we no longer carefully question the distinction of emotions.
Mount Fuji is always there, you can see it but you can't move it.
I remembered a friend from the past. I met him in the school cafe when I was a freshman. This guy is different from us. He specializes in fortune-telling. He has his fixed seat in the cafe. He doesn't buy drinks, but just reads the Book of Changes. Every time I sit opposite him, I always feel that he is saying to those of us who are studying advanced mathematics: "Dachun, don't study advanced mathematics anymore, you can't learn it." Many times I wanted to ask him to help calculate how many points I can get in advanced mathematics at the end of this semester, but then I thought, anyway, if he continues like this, his advanced mathematics score will definitely not be higher than mine, so why bother relying on metaphysics.
Later, a strange video of a woman in red dancing outside a balcony fence and then falling from a building occurred in Hainan. It was said that she had gathered all the elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and was performing some kind of evil sacrifice. I remembered this buddy, so I asked him to send it to him, but he said it was fake and no one would believe it.
A life with a purpose will lead you astray, a life without a purpose will not be wasted. The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, the second best time is nine years ago.
The most interesting part of traveling is its randomness. When I was storing my luggage at Kawaguchiko Station, I stumbled upon a buffet restaurant with a great view.
I love blues time. Whenever I see the blue sky, Debussy's Moonlight plays automatically in my mind.
In the trance of that moment, I couldn't help but take the photo in front of me. But suddenly I realized that I seemed to be dreaming, and everything in front of me disappeared with my screams at the top of my lungs. The ending of the people under Mount Fuji is always like this.
We followed the crowd all the way to Arakurayama Asama Park. The mountain was not high and was easy to climb.
He climbed up while eating strawberries.
It's a pity that there are no cherry blossoms in this season. After all, nothing is perfect and there are compromises everywhere.
This camera position should be considered a standard photo for tourists, and anyone can take a good-looking photo.
The weather was very good that day and we could see the whole view of Mount Fuji.
But the crowds were huge, and it must be one of the most crowded tourist spots in the Fuji area.
I really like the photo below, what do you think?
Unfortunately, the weather was not good. As soon as we descended the mountain, the clouds immediately covered Mount Fuji.
The photo shoot on the "Hommachi-dori" street that I had been longing for had to be abandoned.
I had to find a picture on Google Maps to make up for my regret.
Walking along Honmachi-dori towards Mount Fuji, my friend and I came to a small restaurant run by an old lady.
Before we entered, the boss was still hesitating whether to accept the guests as it was already past 2pm. Seeing that we were hungry and because we were Asian, he made an exception and accepted us as the last table, asking us to wait outside the door.
At this time, a group of European guys came in. Because of the language barrier, the boss probably meant that they would not be served, but neither side seemed to understand what he meant. A funny scene happened. I only heard the European guy say to me, "I hate racist, I don't Like her!", and then he left cursing. What a big misunderstanding.
The portions are big, so you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Udon noodles are free to refill, even if you order rice, you can ask the boss to give you free udon noodles.
Strolling through Fujiyoshida city.
Winter in Japan is not actually cold. Although the temperature on my phone is only 0 degrees, my heart is warm.
Fast forward to the time when I’m not afraid to wear shorts on snowy days.
Let’s talk about this fireworks show.
The location was Oike Park in Kawaguchiko. Thanks to my foresight, I booked a hot spring hotel just a stone's throw away from the fireworks launch site more than a month in advance. After the fireworks show, it was really pleasant to watch passers-by rushing back to Tokyo in a panic.
After returning to the hotel to freshen up, we went out for a bike ride around the lake.
There were still a few hours left before the fireworks, and the sky was gradually turning blue. I was so immersed in it that I forgot to take pictures. The following is a picture taken by my friend B using film. I like it very much, Instagram @dokidoki_yukina .
Fireworks are fleeting, yet they are eternal.
When I was a kid watching cartoons, my filter for fireworks shows was that the people under the fireworks shows would experience unforgettable moments in their lives.
When the last firework burst, nothing changed. The only thing that changed was the battery level of the camera and the feeling of hunger that followed.
Japanese instant noodles are really delicious, especially "Ichito", which I highly recommend. It's a pity that they are not available in Hong Kong and mainland China, so you can only buy them online from overseas.
Japanese hotels are quite interesting.
If I had to sum up Japan in one word, I would say: "Clean."
I saw a funny video on Instagram, where he spent 20,00$ on a plane to eat a convenience store rice ball worth 1$, and he ate it with gusto. The comment below said that the "dirtiest" food in Japan is cleaner than the "healthy food" in the United States.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the prices of hotels in Japan are calculated based on the number of people.
Even if the room can accommodate three people, the price for two people and three people is completely different.
I saw some people discussing this issue on social platforms. What would happen if you secretly brought someone in to live with you?
Some people say that serious cases may result in deportation, but I don’t know if that’s true.
After all, the bespectacled guy must be unhappy because he didn't have to pay the hotel tax.
Kneeling on the tatami is comparable to military training.
Overall, I found that whether in a restaurant or a Japanese family, the scope of "sitting" is very large. If you have low blood sugar, you may need to pay special attention to this sitting.
This ramen instant noodles is really much more delicious than the ramen restaurants in China.
The next morning, friend B called us to get up early. I still remember this scene clearly, "Look, it's snowing outside the window!"
Procrastination.
Even though I knew I had to be at the station at 10 o'clock, I would have no time to take a walk if I didn't go out.
Come to think of it, it's the same in normal times. Even though I've already returned home exhausted and I want to take a shower, I still hold my phone and procrastinate for more than ten minutes.
Maybe the person on the other end of the phone feels the same way.
I may have blamed myself before, but in fact, it is wrong to criticize myself at every stage, let alone others. Everyone is going through different stages. When I was young, I felt that the sky would fall down after memorizing two pages of text. Now looking back, I can only laugh at myself for being too fragile.
In the end, we delayed until we really had to catch the bus before we went out to check out.
Next, we went to Tokyo and got lost in the bustling streets of rainy Tokyo with Black Widow in 2003.
Thank you for reading this, appreciate it.
