First Time in Enchanting Kyoto

I like Kyoto for its nice balance of culture, natural beauties, and modernization.  I once said that one day was not enough to explore the whole richness Kyoto could offer, but it could be sufficient to have a bit taste each of it. On one day trotting around Kyoto, I had my own note for these five things. Shrines and temples Kyoto is known as city with thousands temple and shrines. When I first arrived in Kyoto, I took a map especially spotted only temples and shrines in entire city. I thought that no matter how long I visited Kyoto, … Continue reading First Time in Enchanting Kyoto

Asakusa, Akiba, and Shinjuku at First Time

No, I didn’t procrastinate this post. I got my day off yesterday, so I had no good internet connection. 😥 April 28th, 2013 Our last day in Tokyo before heading to next city, Kyoto. I have posted two pictures below before; however, I’m not over it. Asakusa, 10:20 a.m Meeting up the cuteness promise, while travelling around Tokyo, it was really easy to find anything that awakened whether the cuteness inside each of us or our playful sides. Akiba, 12.24 a.m Does anyone here know what are they doing? Found this in Akihabara, they eyes were all stuck on their gadgets. I … Continue reading Asakusa, Akiba, and Shinjuku at First Time

A Glimpse of Hakone

Three days ago, I got an opened love letter from one of my best friends, Neng Uchan. She tagged me a picture of Mount Fuji which was beautifully taken from Hakone. Both Mount Fuji and Hakone have a special place, somewhere in my heart. Back to the call, it was a sweet reminder of our first anniversary trip to Hakone. Yeaaaahhh \^0^/ (clapping my own hand for my own achievement). Even though we just spent a night there and it didn’t work as what we had planned before, I still had few good memories about it (I do hope this … Continue reading A Glimpse of Hakone

Those Little Things in Osaka

In this life, sometimes, we don’t put much attention to the existence of few (what we thought as little) things, like these things in Osaka, which actually were not little that I’d never noticed its presence until my second visit at last autumn, 2014. It seemed to me that all sparkling and colorful neon signs that spread all over the city or the beautiful places that I’ve been in distracted me from seeing in. I saw few of which when bowing. At some points, these were simply attractive. This cute squirrel was first seen by Dadiet, at first I wondered how … Continue reading Those Little Things in Osaka

Hachiko Statue

Hachiko statue which is standing close to Shibuya station’s west exit is seemed quite interesting to people who love dog, moreover a dog that well known for its unquestionable faithfulness. Honestly speaking, I’m not a fan of any pets, but a fan of faithfulness. I also can’t tell which dog is specifically beautiful or good unless someone explain to me. So, when I first saw Hachiko statue, I couldn’t tell which part was so interesting about it (Let’s put aside the story of it), until my second visit when I observed people who were gathered around it. Most of people … Continue reading Hachiko Statue

The Scent of Autumn of Arashiyama

When I was planning my trip to Japan for autumn 2014, I was really attracted by any foliage colour of autumn. All the websites, blogs, and brochures that I’d read during preparation were showing how beautiful the colour of autumn of Japan would be. So, I set my heart and my mind for enjoying any trees leaves changing during that moment. My thought about the beauty of autumn leaves was lingered on until I found out the truth when I arrived at Hakone at the southern of Tokyo. When I first saw the scenery, I was perplexed. At that moment … Continue reading The Scent of Autumn of Arashiyama

Bustling Doutonbori, Osaka

I have been to Osaka twice and always visited Doutonbori, one of the main tourist destination in Osaka. In spite of the fact of its crowd, I still haven’t found any reasons not to adore the Doutonbori Area. Furthermore it was like my re-charged spot. On my second visit, my friend said that the entire advertisement at Doutonbori Area was over-illuminated, but I didn’t think so. It did surprise me at the first glance, and still did surprise me at the second chance. I saved Doutonbori as the last place to be visited on the planning day. So, after spending … Continue reading Bustling Doutonbori, Osaka
