Back in Oita

From old people and porn shops to maid cafes, nerds and electronics to graffiti and fashion, the Honshuu trip was quite a success. For not being able to constantly keep up to date on what I experienced in other cities in Japan I apologize.

While traveling with a group of 9 was a bit exhausting, the trip went smoothly and we each were able to enjoy the things we wanted to in each city. Because of the simple layout of Osaka's subway system it was really easy to find your way around town. And being in one of the largest cities in Japan I got to see many things I've never seen before.

In the subway in Osaka, this was my first time seeing a traincar only for Women.

The streets of Shinsaibashi at night


Im pretty sure this is famous!


If McDonald's ever owned a night club, this would be it!
There was even a security guard.


"Love Lockets" by the Asian World Trade Center

The ferry we took to get to Osaka port all the way from Beppu.

Sonic! my favorite SEGA character of all time


Osaka-Jo aka Osaka's Castle










I dont know about you, but i'm pretty sure im not as fashionable as the girls behind me.





And of course, you can't go to Osaka without having some of the best Takoyaki.

I can't leave out what I saw in Nara and Kyoto. Honestly I didn't know much at all about Nara except that there were alot of deer roaming around. I thought that the moment I stepped out of the station, it would be nothing but forest, but i was wrong.

This place wasn't all forest but there were deer! It was a bit troublesome to feed them cuz they would start competing with eachother or start nibbling on your clothes.




We went to Todaiji temple which housed one of the largest wooden buddhas in all of Japan.





This was the guardian at the gate, pretty "BA" if you can see it.


Gold Plated!


This is Kiomizudera, the Water Temple



Kyoto is the first and only city i've been to where young women and girls still wear traditional Japanese clothing.

Wandering the old streets where the Geisha and entertainment district used to be and still is.


Kyoto Tower

Oh, and apparently this place has everthing you could ever want.

Although I already posted on what I saw in Tokyo, I can't leave out some of the most important things. Half the reason to visit Tokyo too was to see some good friends of mine! Special thanks to Ken, Han, Coco and Yoko for coming to meet up and hang out!

It was good to see some friends while splitting off from the big group. I got to see some cool things like China Town, Yokohama bay, Meiji Jingu and Harajuku.

This statue at Shibuya was dedicated to a dog whos master passed away. He came to the same spot in front the station year after year everyday to wait for his master to return home.

Went to the Channel 5 broadcasting station. They air shows like Doraemon and Shin-chan.

This statue actually came from San Diego!
