5D4N in the Rising Sun Country (Japan): Osaka – Kyoto – Nara Trip

by - November 28, 2017

“Once a year, go to someplace you’ve never been before.”



Yearly, me and my college friends goes to travel. This year we went to JAPAN! 

I have a ton of stories to say about this trip! 

First, originally in the plan were 13 and we went down to 8 and then down to 5. Oh! Shout out to our 3 friends who didn’t make it because their visa was released in later date. 

Our Airbnb in Kyoto got cancelled because the host had a problem in the neighborhood and take note that’s two days before our flight so we had to look for another Airbnb. 

On our first day in Osaka we got lost in the middle of the night looking for our Airbnb, but all thanks to the lady who helped us and didn’t leave us until we find the house. 

My friend lost his icoca card and his suitcase got locked in the train locker and we didn't get it that day because its pass 7pm. On our last day my other friend lost his icoca card so he bought a new one because he can't go out to the station, but after a couple of hours they found the card so he had 2 icoca card in our last day. So it seems like losing your icoca card here in Japan is a trend. lol

Shout out to my oh so pretty friend who deleted all my photos in her phone because she thought I already received all the photos in her phone. 

What a trip, right? But, even though that happened we still enjoyed the trip because it’s JAPAAAAAN. Duh! Hahaha 

The cleanliness of the place is amazing and the discipline of the people were extraordinary. I can live there forever! They're also kind and helpful to the tourist because every time you ask for direction (if you can't understand Japanese) they will help you until you find what you're looking for. 🙂 

And the food, it's really delicious! Every bite of it, it's the bomb! I can't say anything else it's just freaking tasty.

Anyway, I’m so attached in Japan!!! Definitely I will come back again and I will not get tired in this country. Hahaha

Here are some of the photos I took to the place where we went.
