My Japan Trip - Osaka part

After two days hanging around the Kyoto, finally we came to Osaka. The first place we visited in Osaka was Osaka Castle. Osaka Castle is on the historical castle which surrounded by secondary citadels, gates, turrets, impressive stone walls and moats. The opening time for the castle is from 9am-5pm. You need to pay entrance fee for entering the castle. I had bought the Osaka two days pass earlier at the station tourist counter, so the entrance fee was covered.

At night, we visited to Den-den town which is known for its many shops which specialized in furniture, tools, and "otaku" interests such as electronics, animation, manga, and collectibles. If you are a video games and comics, yes, Den-den town is the place for you ^_^

Kuromon
The next day morning, we came to Kuromon-Ichiba. It is a 600 meter-long market with 170 stalls which offers fish, fruits, vegetables and other foodstuffs. You may buy some Japan foods at this market as souvenirs.

Shinsaibashi
It is very famous shopping street. If you are a fashion lover, this place will be your favorite.

This tax free shop is just nearby which you can get a lot of tax free products. However, please remember to get back your tax at another special counter !

This is our last destination in Osaka. We took 1 day to hang around at this area. Even though we came on Thursday, the place was still full of people. I suggest you should buy an express ticket in order to save the time for long queue.

My Japan Trip - Kyoto part

In the starting of September, I experienced one of the most roller-coaster feeling in my life. From sudden change in my working life, my family members illness suddenly became worst till passed away and etc. Luckily The God had prepared a trip for me to temporary clear away my moody life. Yes, it was Japan trip which I had planned few months ago.

In this Japan trip, my target destination were Kyoto and Osaka.

Kyoto is a historical city. It has a lot of tourism places especially temples. Due to time limitation, I merely able to pay a visit to Fushimi Inari Shrine, Arashiyama and Kyoto Tower.

Use the water to change your luck ^^

If you are traveling by using a bus, you may need to check and planned your bus schedule properly as you may need to take some time to wait for the bus to come.

Arashiyama

The Togetsukyo Bridge is Arashiyama's well known, central landmark. Many small shops, restaurants and other attractions are found nearby, including Tenryuji Temple, Arashiyama's famous bamboo groves and pleasure boats that are available for rent on the river. The scene at here is indeed beautiful, I love it much :))
