So, for our last day in Japan, we decided to head to Hakone, which is a small mountain town. A comparison that I would make would be comparing this to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, which I’ve been to recently. However, I doubt anyone has ever went to that place. Since we already bought the JR … More Trip to Japan 9 – Hakone and Final Thoughts

So, for my final two destinations in the Kansai region, I will now talk about my journey in Nara and Kobe. Nara Nara is famous for its wild deer that roam around the area. The special thing about the wild deer here is that they bow to you before give food to them. However, it … More Trip to Japan 8 – Nara and Kobe

So, for our second day in Kyoto, we took the train to Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社).

I mean, I had so many different experiences and memories depending on where I went. Anyway, let’s start this … More Trip to Japan 5 – Hiroshima

So, this time around I’m going to be writing about the Nipponbashi area in Namba, Osaka. Nipponbashi is basically the Akihabara of Osaka, and contains many stores dedicated to Otakus. However, like Akihabara, it was also once an area selling electronics and houseware. While nowadays they still sell electronics and houseware, and there are a … More Trip to Japan 4 – Osaka Nipponbashi

As I’ve said previously, this post will be otaku-related.

Japan is known for being a country that produces electronics, and nowhere is … More Trip to Japan 3 – Osaka Yodobashi Camera and Bic Camera
