–Osaka–
This was our last full day in Osaka, Japan, as we depart the next night.
The day was reserved mainly for shopping and eating and shopping and eating!
Located near our hotel is Hep Five, one of the larger shopping centres in the area. It is noticeable in Osaka, as the shopping centre with the large red [...]

– Osaka –
As off this post, candid photos were taken with my Sony W300, so don’t expect anything fancy pantsy – I was simply not bothered to lug the big baby around for the remainder of the trip, since i’ve done most sightseeing by then.
Back in Osaka again, most of us looked forward [...]

One of the highlights of our kyoto trip was, kimono wearing and tea ceremony. At first, we thought we won’t get the chance of wearing kimono ,simply because most of our funds were going low, until we found WAK Japan’s brochure, that offered kimono wearing and tea ceremony for only Y4,900! It’s a fairly good [...]

We made a day trip out to Hiroshima. It was around 1.5hour from Kyoto, it was infact closer to Osaka. But anyhows, one shinkansen ride later, we boarded our first trip on a Japanese ferry to Miyajima Island, located about 15mins ferry ride away.
We were thankful for the beautiful blue skies! The shoreline was rather [...]

— Kyoto —
Our second day in Kyoto, we woke up to a light drizzle, which later became light shower through out the day. The day had been planned for sightseeing, so alot of foot work was involved. Weather did make it a little tedious getting around, however it didn’t keep us in!
It was around Y800 [...]

–Hakone, Kyoto–
Had a nice sleep, of course, after a lovely hotspring session the night before. So lovely, that we had to take advantage of the facilities… and go again! It was open to everyone during the day (women only of course). So we tried to beat the crowd and got in there by 6:30am. Breakfast [...]

It was sad to leave Tokyo Bay, simply because of the fun we had at Disneyland/sea, it was like a little escape from reality! We took our last look of Tokyo, and set off for another little escape, into traditional side of Japan. First stop, was to pay visit to Mt Fuji.
Originally we were 50/50 [...]

—Disney Sea!—
To begin with, i lovelovelovelovelovelove Little Mermaid, it IS my all time favourite disney movie since I was a little girl. I love the whole idea of colourful talking sea creatures, and also pretty mermaids (though to be honest I don’t appreciate the scary ones you see in Harry Potter etc x_x). As a [...]

—Disneyland!—
We have been looking forward most to this part of the trip! Having been to HK Disneyland before, which was just so-so, I had higher expectations for Japan, since it was apparently better. It was to some point, it was definitely a bigger theme park, however I find alot of the facilities are a lil [...]

it’s our last day in Tokyo city before moving to Tokyo Bay for Disney land and Disney sea. So part of the day has been planned for Harajuku – the shopping street, with an early morning stroll to Meiji Jingu shrine that’s right next to the station.
Apparently, that is where you find the ‘weird’ fashion [...]
