01-05-15

It has been a long time since I've updated again, it has been like a month already.

It has been quite a happy period for me as I've attended the Apink concert in Singapore AND I get to see Eunjung at the airport !

OH MY GOD !

And after all these, here comes my happy holidays ! A trip to Japan !

My frenz and me went for a trip to Japan which consists of Osaka, Hiroshima and Tokyo,


We went to Japan from 30th of March to 8th of April but technically its 31st March to 7th April as our flight is night time so we leave SG on the 30th and arrive Japan on the 31st den we leave on the 7th and arrive on the 8th of April.

Its been a long time since I went to Japan as the previous time which was also the first time I went to Japan, it was year 2008. That time it was a group of 8 but this time its a group of 4 and the only person which is the same in the 2 groups is Thimo.

We already know its gonna be a fun trip as the 4 of us got quite a number of common interest like games, mangas, animes.


Our first ride in Japan is to take the Shinkansen to Osaka as we arrived at Haneda Airport as we need to go Osaka as our first 4 days will be at Osaka .

This is so called our first Selfie in Japan as we aimed to be able to take a photo with the incoming Shinkansen early in the morning like 8am.



Usually a Shinkansen ticket will cost like $100 over but as we're gonna take the Shinkansen a few times so we decided to get the JR Pass which cost us around $330 but the Shinkansen rides will be unlimited so its pretty worth it for us and all the JR lines train we take will be already included which makes it even more worth it.



The Shinkansen is actually very comfortable. I find it more comfortable den the KTX in Korea as they got more leg space and the seats are more comfy. One thing good about the Shinkansen and KTX is that they both have toilets and the rides are quite stable and smooth. Not to say the quiet environment is very pleasant too !

After a 3 hour journey, finally we have reached our Hotel, Shin-Osaka Station Hotel.

The hotel is a very nice and cosy place, sorry that I did not take photos of the hotel room but you guys can go over to Agoda and Tripadvisor to have a look at how the hotel room looks like.

I highly recommend the Hotel if you guys are going Osaka, but its a station away from Osaka so the troublesome thing is that you will always need to take the train a station to Osaka station den you can choose to go the places you wanna go. One more troublesome thing about the hotel is that you will need to cross an overhead bridge from the station to the hotel which proves to be troublesome if you are carrying a heavy luggage.

Thats all for now as I'm kinda tired as its quite late at night already.

Shall update soon !
