Hello, Osaka | Part 1

The train journey from Hiroshima to Osaka was about an hour plus. Although the train system of Japan may be confusing, they are really quite efficient and fast!

Upon reaching Osaka, we had to take another train to take the key of our apartment from an office. To cut it short, we were lost for about an hour. Our last resort was to take a cab.

Thank God we had a friendly driver, Mr Yamamoto who helped us out with the office address. I find it lovely of him, to use google translate to communicate with us.

Once we settled down in our apartment and had a good rest, we went to Umeda to get our dinner. Since it was still early, we went to Umeda Sky Building. It was a very nerve wrecking experience taking the lift to get to the top. And although it was chilly and hazy due to the drizzle, we did get a good view of Umeda.

See what I mean

We ended our day 2 in Japan with walking around Dotonburi and surveying the area of our apartment before heading back home to rest before our Day 3 in Japan.

Day 3

Day 3 is full day of walking and visiting of places.

We catch the train to Kyoto to visit Fushimi Inari Shrine. Didn't manage to get to the top of the shrine because it was too hot and everyone was so cranky especially me. (I mean what's new)

When the train stop they quickly change the advertisement in the train cool!

Next was Kiyomizu-dera. We were so hungry and thankfully there was this food shop while we were going up the hill so we had to make a pit stop. The temple was having construction but the place is super insta-worthy especially if you are planning to take pictures with kimono.

Since everyone was super tired, we had to cab again for our last place to visit which is Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. Again, an insta-worth place buuuuut I must warn that the place is quite full of mosquito during summer.

Talking to the moon.... tryin togetsukyo (Hehehe)

After exploring places the whole day, we went to check out this halal ramen place in Osaka. Had to pat myself at the back because I found this place :P
