Melanie Toye dreams of Japan

Image sourced via:  SHINJUKU NINJA LIVE SHOW   One day, when I travel to Japan, I would like to visit a Ninja show. Currently, Shinjuku Ninja Live Show offers acrobatics, drums (which look super cool) and Japanese traditional dance. They also have great performance effects. Each show lasts about 90 minutes and the show is on 3 times a day. Tickets cost 8,000 yen (which as of today is $81.76 AUD - Australian dollars).  I love the majestic movement of Ninja's and have only seen it in TV shows or movies. I have never seen it acted out. And as I have an aerial background, acrobatics seems like a good addition to the performance.  You can check it out here:  SHINJUKU NINJA LIVE SHOW #Japan #Ninja  Follow me on Pinterest at: @melanietoye Follow me on Facebook and receive all my blog posts here:  https://www.facebook.com/share/1AEkVDXzeT/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Subscribe to my Hobbies YouTube channel at littlemissmel23.

Ok, so I admit, I have seen a documentary about people walking up Mount Fuji, and I am afraid of heights, plus there are some parts near the top, where it's uphill and only one or two people can fit through the space. However, I understand many people would love and do love to climb up Mount Fuji.  However, for me, I would be more, looking at the scenic mountain views like this image below ... far away on flat ground. I believe anytime of year, would be ideal to see Mount Fuji. Whether it is snowing, or it's cherry blossom season, the Mountain is epic of Japan and boasts tranquil.  If I fly 8 hours around the sky to then stand in front of this mountain and in awe, I feel like that is 8 hours worth my time. (And I hate flying!)
