A dream comes true ! Spring in Japan 2023

A dream comes true ! What I have been dreaming 10 years ago finally comes true.

I and hubby were able to fly to Japan during sakura and it's just perfect time to see the sakura full bloom.

We went to Kansai region only since I want to learn more about Japanese culture, the way of life and Kyoto is the perfect city.

We bought Scoot ticket 3 months ago and it's kinda cheap and booked budget hotel nearby main city's staton which are Osaka and Kyoto.

We tried different kind of street food and mostly are good and cheap.

This is the high level of our itinerary

Day 1 - Fly from SG to Osaka and spend the night at Osaka

Day 2 - Visiting Kurumon fish market and half day trip to Nara and stay in Osaka

Day 3 - Moving to Kyoto, be a Japanese girl for a day, learning tea ceremony, wearing kimono and strolling around Gion area

Day 4 - Spending the full day at Arashiyama, from taking scenic train, trekking, canoeing and riding ricksaw

Day 5 - Visiting the icon of Kyoto - Fushimi Inari and Kiyomizaderu temple

Day 6 - Visiting Nishiki market and surrounding and fly back from Osaka to SG

Very grateful for hubby who accompanied me and took lots of nice pictures and videos as memento.

Thanks God for make my wish and dream come true as my birthday present this year.

The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.
