Japan 2012 - Kansai

In Kansai I went to 3 biggest cities which people often go most when traveling there. They were Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.

First, I went to Osaka. Osaka was a big, young and noisy city, somewhat alike Tokyo. I think it would be fun to live in Osaka, because the food is great and people are said to be really friendly.

Takoyaki - Osaka's most famous food

I went to Osaka castle

Said goodbye to Osaka city

Next I went to Kobe. It took about 30 minutes by train from Osaka to Kobe.
Kobe is called a "Western city", because in the past there were a lot of foreigners went to Kobe port, lived there and left behind Western style architecture.

Kobe port. It was breathtaking, this scene
Ferris-wheel : my love
I got on it yaaa >0<

At that moment, I received a message from him:

nyaaaa



love the lights

Next day I went to other places in Kobe like Mount Rokko and visited Kobe center streets.
I like Kobe. It brought me the feeling of peace and somehow the image of a mature city.



A crape store
Mediterrasse is just a shopping mall. But the outside architecture is really cute


On the last day I went to Kyoto. It was sakura's full-blossom that time. I have to admit that I really love Kyoto. If I have chance to go to Kyoto again, I would love to go in Spring or Autumn. It must be really beautiful.


In Gion street
They were said to be "experiencing Maiko girls". So I bet they were not real Maiko girls
Let's see how a real Maiko is. She is a real Maiko
She is amazing...
I have a big interest in Maiko and Geisha. They are such beautiful and amazing women.

Finally, before saying goodbye to Kyoto, I went seeing sakura with my teacher. What I realized is that Sakura at night is also great *love*


The end >_<
Goodbye Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto. I swear I would go back to Kansai again someday. *heart*

From a traveling-lover with love.

Nagasaki, in a winter trip


Last month I had a chance to travel to Nagasaki, one of a famous tourism destinations in Kyushu, Japan. It's a beautiful and peaceful city. When people hear about Nagasaki, they often think of Hiroshima, they were both destroyed by nuclear bomb in the past. In my eyes, the two cities are somewhat alike. They also have their own characteristics and popular places. I did enjoy days in Nagasaki, and want to share some photos from the trip ^^.


It took me 3 hours by high-way bus to Nagasaki. I read book and listen to music to kill the time. As a frequent traveler, I have got used to with these things ^^.

New nail color. How is it?
Finally I could spend time for this book
Tram - popular transport system in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, cute isn't it?
an interesting architecture

First day in Nagasaki, I just went to some famous places within Nagasaki city like Glover Garden and the Rope-way cable. It was really cold outside ~.~

To Glover Garden


heh heh (^^)

Glover Garden was residence of a famous person - Mr. Glover (I don't remember his full name ><), in Nagasaki in the past. It was when Japan and Western countries started to open trading activities, and Glover built his house on a high hill where has become a tourist place. You can visit their website here for more information (because my memory is really bad ><)

Nagasaki's night shot
At the end of the day, I took a 330m high rope-way cable to see Nagasaki's night view. (You know that I love night landscapes - I took lots of night view photos when I was in Tokyo too *blush*)
It was chilly out there, and it was even colder at a place of 330m high >_<. Anyway I did enjoy the night view. You can visit Nagasaki ropeway website for more information.

Second day, I didn't go to Nagasaki city. Instead of that, I and my friend went to explore mountains and natural environment at a small town near Nagasaki city. We went quite far from the town, went deep into forest and climbed up high ( by car lol). Our main aim of the day was to be able to see stars, which are hard to see with city lights. So we decided to go to the highest place there: 1100m high. We got lost sometimes. But after all we were able to see the night sky full of twinkle stars, like a marble ^^. It was such a remarkable scene in my life. ゚(゚´Д`゚)゚
sushi for dinner - it's said to be the best sushi restaurant in Nagasaki
next day
we went to ハウステンボス
Huis Ten Bosch has many interesting places and games. I like it very much ^0^

Christmas is coming
light tone
Huis Ten Bosch illumination

This Ferris Wheel is called White Wheel, which was newly built and opened for customers from about 26th November. Well, I again met another Ferris Wheel in my life, and add its photos to my Ferris Wheel collection ^^. Happy ~ ♥
Every journey has its end.
It's time to go home. ゚(゚´Д`゚)゚
I really did have a wonderful time in Nagasaki. I hope I would have chance to visit the city again in the future, to see its changes and to bring back all the memories there.
Next place will be Tokyo (again) in the winter. There will be snow, Christmas trees, illumination... and everything WINTER! Wait for my next journey entry ね~
Happy traveling (*^o^*)ー(*^O^*)
