It was a dream come true when I
managed to travel to a place which I’ve been wishing to go to since I was a
high school kid. Japan!!!! Here I come! XD
It was not a good decision to travel to
Japan during summer as the weather was extremely hot.
The temperature reached as high as 40
Celsius. I am not kidding and this makes me thankful that my country’s sunny
days are not as hot or as unbearable as Japan’s.
I went to Japan last month and I am glad
that I have a close friend of mine to be our guide. Plus, we managed to
experience sleeping in a tatami studio and the experience is just like what you’ve
seen in the anime.
To make travelling easier with all the huge
luggage, we decided to take the airport’s limousine bus to Hotarugaike Station.
From there, we took the Hankyu Takarasuke Line to reach Ishibashi where my
friend is staying.
In short, to reach Osaka City, or I should say to
reach your hotel or destination, you can opt to travel via the train or taxi. The train can be
cheaper but at times, you need to change from one stop to another
My two-way bus tickets.
Bought it via the machine outside the
airport.
You can get assistance there and
there are
sign board to guide you
so that you know which bus to take to your destination.
The Hotarugaike Station!
The limousine bus stopped here.
Before
reaching the station, it stopped at Osaka Airport.
Façade of Ishibashi’s Shopping Street.
There is a Lawson’s 100 Yen shop as well.
I miss getting the drinks and food
every
night with my buddies now.
You can get pretty much anything,
from food
to drugs, plus, there is a shop for you to rent DVDs.
Ahh..and also physiotherapy centres around it seems.
The sculptor near one of the Shopping
Street’s entrance.
No idea what it means though.
There are colourful yet unique drain cover
which can be found across Japan!
Spotted this one at Ishibashi’s Shopping
Street.
Fascinating!
We don’t have it here in my place and
I bet
it will be stolen within seconds O.o
Museum of Osaka University
I would pass this on the way to my friend’s
place.
Too bad I didn’t have the time to check it
out =(
Besides, we did walked pass a cemetery and one
of the uni’s gate.
Miss the exercising walking up hill now.
Haha
Too bad I didn't take the photos.
The evening view outside my friend's place.
Reminds me of the anime.
Oooops, not again =.=
It was a memorable trip and I must make time to share the places, food and my itinerary here.
Hope I won't be too sluggish. XP
