One of the largest music festivals in Asia, it was my first time abroad to chase stars.

#MusicFestival #Tokyo #Chiba #summertravel #100 ways to travel Summer Sonic One of the largest music festivals in Japan Strong program lineup and convenient transportation Known as the most suitable music festival for novices to pursue overseas stars The performance lineup is mainly composed of well-known European and American artists, interspersed with big-name Japanese or Korean artists. Only here can you see the spectacle of the Mr.Children Gang’s grand finale to warm up the show. The headliners for 2023 are blur, Kendrick Lama & Liam (brother of Oasis), and the first show on the main stage is NewJeans!! (Oh my God, it smells so good) The Tokyo venue is at Seaside Makuhari Station (the same station as the Mitsui outlet, so supply is convenient). It can be reached on foot in ten minutes after exiting the station. The transportation is much more convenient than Fuji Rock. In terms of accommodation, you can stay at the Keiyo Line Extension Station, or you can stay in the center of Tokyo or just come to the venue for about an hour. When the venue is over, there are so many people heading towards Tokyo that it is often difficult to get on the train, so it is easier to go towards Soga. If you have enough budget and plan ahead, just stay nearby!! Seaside Makuhari Station is usually the venue for various large-scale exhibitions. There are many businesses and star-rated hotels in the surrounding area, but it is usually almost fully booked half a year before Summer Sonic. The venue is very large. The main stage is at the Marine Stage in Chiba Lode Marine. There will also be 3 stages in the indoor venue and 1 beach stage. All types of listeners can find the most suitable way to participate. You can lie down and stay on your favorite stage all day, or you can be a time management master and travel between stages. There is a shuttle bus between the main stage and the indoor area, but when there are many people, it may take more than half an hour to move between stages. Don't make the queue too full and the performances on both stages will be in vain~~ A little tip for laymen: If you want to get a good seat in the grandstand area of ​​the main stage to watch the Headliner, you can go and book a seat in the afternoon. Remember to sit on the right-hand side facing the stage. The stage is generally facing south and north. The right-hand side of the stage is on the west side so that you will not be directly hit by the setting sun. You will be exposed to the sun before you can wait till night~~ That’s about it, let’s experience the rest for ourselves

Delicious Dinner at Chiba

#familytrips2024 Gathered in Chiba, we indulged in a feast of Japanese delights. Yakitori skewers, grilled to perfection, emitted savoury aromas that teased our senses. Each succulent bite brought forth a symphony of flavours, from tender chicken to robust sauces. Alongside, gyoza dumplings boasted a crispy exterior, giving way to a juicy, flavorful filling within. The communal experience brought our family closer as we shared laughter and stories. And then, a daring choice: horse sashimi, a delicacy that ignited intrigue and curiosity. Sliced thinly and served with reverence, it offered a unique taste, surprisingly delicate yet distinct. Our dinner in Chiba became a cherished memory, blending culinary exploration with familial bonds.

Mountains/Beach

#thingstodo Located approximately just east of Tokyo, Chiba is easily accessible. Most tourists might make the mistake of thinking about Chiba just as an entry point to the rest of the country yet the region is full of gems that give the prefecture its own unique charm. Chiba is blessed with an attractive coastline that in the summer sees Tokyoites arriving in droves to enjoy the wide sandy beaches, high-quality surf and laid-back atmosphere on offer. Bars, restaurants, and marine activities become widely available for the weekend urban crowds though there’s plenty of room for exploration along Chiba’s 500-plus kilometer coastline.

don’t look at people 🤣

Basically, people are crowded and uncomfortable. In fact, there is a place in the suburbs of Tokyo where there is a small number of people and no loss of Mingyue. That is the Ziyang Flower House Service Department. In Chiba Prefecture, when you depart from Tokyo, take a bus to Mobara Station and take a 20-minute taxi ride. The whole garden is a slope type. When the hydrangea is the best, it looks like a pink blue hydrangea at the top of the mountain. It is super beautiful. Moreover, the number of hydrangea in the garden is definitely much more than that of the moon, more than 10,000. Ideal for telephoto lenses, it is also suitable for wide angles. The blue-purple hydrangea is planted on the hillside. The scenery that looks down from the height is super beautiful (Fig. 4). The whole part of the hydrangea in full bloom has a flavor from top to bottom. Looking down on the hillside with the pavilion as a backdrop (Figure 7), you can also feel very Japanese. /hh

The photo was taken in the German village of Tokyo~ Tokyo German Village is a large-scale parent-child interactive park that mimics the rural scenery of Germany. It covers an area of 910,000 pings. There are various flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the whole garden in winter. Its all lighting, super dreamy. Actually, I went to the German village to see the ground ball of Figure 9. Now it is just the most red and beautiful of the ground ball. I didnt expect the German village to see flowers, small animal parks and parent-child interaction areas. very funny! Playing with fun is a childlike heart (German village is really suitable for a family of three to interact with each other!) It is also a slide, but also a seesaw ~ also fed a lot of cute animals! The effect of the photo is very natural. Actually, I didnt think about how to pose. I just played a lot of expressions on the other side. I also have a Japanese natural feeling~ I also recommend a family of three. To play, you can definitely capture a lot of cute expressions for the children.
