Travel Tips

Osaka Castle

On Aug 18 the luxury cruise ship "QUANTUM of the SEAS" arrived at the port of Osaka. I took 4 guests from Indonesia to Osaka Castle Dotonbori and Abeno Harukas.
Osaka Castle is beautifully reflected on the pond.

In Dotonbori street

These days a lot of foreign tourists visit Dotonbori street.

ABENO HARUKAS

is the highest building with a height of 300 meters above sea level in Japan. From the top observatory you can see a panoramic night view of Osaka.

Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

On Aug 19 the ship moved to the port fo Kobe. I took same guests to Kyoto using Shinkansen Bullet train. We use a private taxi to Arashiyama Bamboo Forest.

Yuba

Guests wanted to have "Yuba". It is a speciality of Kyoto food. This skin is formed when soy milk is heated. It is not only delicious but highly nutritious, a lot of protein. Almost all the Yuba is made in Kyoto and a bit expensive.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

has been ranked first among the most popular scenic spot by foreign tourists in Japan for 5 years in a row.

Arashiyama Sagano Bamboo Forest

I from Arashiyama to Sagano, one of the finest spots in Kyoto. In particular the view form Togetsukyo Bridge crossing over Katsura River is very impressive. Arashiyama is populary known for cherry blossoms in spring and beautifully changing colors of autumn leaves in autumn. You can enjoy walking through bamboo forests. They give us a sense of coolness, especially on May and June they grow lushly.　 We visit Otagi and Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple with many small unuque statues.
