As mentioned, during my trip to Bali, my hotel was located in Sanur which is on the east side of Bali. The following pics are taken near the hotel on the main street which is rather long containing lots of restaurants, bars, local shops, souvenir shops and foreign currency exchange outlets.

Bali Hyatt Resort Hotel located in Sanur (East of Bali) is where I stayed during my trip to Bali. The hotel is one huge resort with distinctive architecture and lush tropical gardens abounding with exotic foliage and secluded lily ponds. It is located right next to the beach accessible by passing the pool area. As with all resort hotels, you’ll find all the facilities you’d expect: fitness center, spa, pool, etc., etc.

Kawagoe in Saitama, which is approx. 30 mins train ride away from Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, is a city known locally as “Little Edo” where some of its streets preserve the old Edo period (17c to 19c.) stuctures.
