Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. I was very excited to see snow for the first time. Although the temperature was 0 degrees, it was not as wet and cold as in Taipei. However, the snow at night was a little heavy, which made me feel helpless. 😂 The hotel we stayed in this time felt like an old hotel, the service quality was very good, there were Chinese-speaking service staff at the counter, and they were very friendly. The room we stayed in this time was a single room, which was just the right size for me. There was also a bathtub in the bathroom, so if you are not used to public baths, you can just take a bath in the room. #travel #japan #iwate #hanamaki #snow
