It was sooo stressful traveling during a pandemic. My journey began at 5AM, I had to drive myself to the airport (and leave the car parked there for a month). A couple of weeks ago when I went to Hamanako, my Navi kept on telling me to take the tolls, so I set the Navi to avoid tolls. On my way to Nagoya airport, I forgot to turn it on, I realized it after a 1-hour drive... But luckily we arrived 2 hours before departure, and still had to wait another 45 minutes to be able to check-in. I had my PCR test prepared 2 days prior, it’s a requirement. If you do the test in a clinic, the price range from ¥25000-¥40000. I did it in a lab of a construction company, I got the info from an administration staff at work. It cost ¥13000 for a PCR saliva test with an English certificate, the result comes out in 6 hours. Altho it’s still expensive, it’s the cheapest in town.

Did you know that there is a tree-lined avenue of Kawazu cherry blossoms (cherry blossoms) in Hamamatsu City's suburbs, from Higashi-Oyama to Sakuradai district? Kawazu Sakura festival is so beautiful and mesmerizing. Take a walk along the Hanakawa embankment which located near 2671 Oyama-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City, about 5 minutes from the Hamamatsu Nishi Interchange.  About 400 Kawazu cherry blossoms are planted on both sides of approximately 1km along the Hanakawa river banks, and you can see a graceful pink arch.  There is also a big yellow canola field in the Higashi-Oyama area, which makes this place very popular because you can enjoy the contrast between yellow canola with pink Kawazu Sakura!  This spot is also popular as a wedding photoshoot location.
