大阪、京都、奈良で過ごした数日間

In this post, I will talk about the time we spent in Osaka, Universal Studios, Kyoto, and Nara.

I didn’t want to put all of Japan into one post as we were there for 16 days and did so much here.

Day 1
Today didn’t really start today. It started yesterday as we had to be at the airport overnight for a flight at 07:00 and the earliest train would get us here around 45 minutes before the flight left. It definitely wasn’t enough time to get from the station to the terminal and then through check-in and security and to the gate. We also didn’t want to pay for an Uber as they are ridiculously expensive here in Japan. The distance from the hotel to the airport was around 55 miles. The Uber would have cost around £182 – yep, you read that right. One hundred and eighty-two of ole sausage fingers pounds! A taxi wasn’t much cheaper. They are bookable by the hour with booking fees added on. It’s just not a viable way to get around.

We couldn’t really do much in the airport until check-in had opened. We walked around. Then walked around a little more. I saw an unattended suitcase there and told someone and they just carried on with their work. I guess it wasn’t that much of a threat to them.

We went to the 24-hour convenience store at the airport to get some bits and pieces. Ken picked up what he thought was bread and butter (to be fair, the packaging had pictures of bread on it). It turns out it was just butter. He found something else to eat and then we went to get the back checked in and then head to security to go to the boarding gate. This seemed like a hundred miles away too.

When we were going through security, some chap followed me through the scanner and it went off and he was confused. I just kept going my merry way towards the boarding gate.

Ken and I got to the gate and this chap came and stood next to us and started to talk to us and tell us we should visit Indonesia and some of the prices of food and the like. He asked our ages and I asked him to guess mine and he said 35. Before that though, he asked Ken if he was my dad, I found it way funnier than Ken did though. Ken said he had to go to the toilet and just left me to deal with the guy. Cheers, FRIEND! After about another 10 minutes I just got up and said I needed to stretch my legs – not a lie as I did. I was sick of sitting down. I went and found some water and then found the traitor and sat with him until our flight was called.

We got on the plane first then got our seats and hoped that nobody was sitting in the row with us. The flight was chocka and we were one of only a couple of rows with a seat free. Result for us.

The flight wasn’t good. It was ok taking off and cruising. Just before we started our initial descent, the pilot came on the tannoy and said that we would experience light turbulence. Light my ass. It was awful. It was like we were flying right through a storm. Just horrible. Bumpy. Rocking. Crappy weather.

We touched down and noticed how bad the rain was. It was chucking it down. That put pay to our plans to go to Nara once we got to the hotel. As we were taxiing to the gate I checked the weather on the days of our original plans for here in Osaka (Universal Studios/Kyoto/Nara) and the days were showing as being sunny. We decided we would stick to the original plan and just go to the hotel to see if we could check in early.

We made our way to the train and just got on the first one that was stopping where we needed to get off. I slept for most of this train journey as I was super tired. Since getting up yesterday morning I had about 2 hours of sleep.

We waited for the connecting train and I was happy to see several trains just pass by the station. I decided to see if I could get some good shots of the trains. I think I did well with the video below. It captures the train leaving but also captures the falling rain. Good job I went to those highly sought-after (ha, yeah right) Today@Apple courses about photography and videography.

We got to the station we needed for the hotel and seemed to get lost trying to find our exit. Ken went and had a look and found it and we headed that way to the hotel. Thankfully the hotel was about 30 seconds from the station exit. We asked if we could check in early and they said no. We went for a wander and we are now just sitting in the hotel waiting for the room to be sorted for us. We’ve been here about an hour already. Only 2 more to go. Yay for us.

I went and asked about 14:40 if we could check in and they still said no. They wouldn’t even give us 20 minutes free as they said the room was still being cleaned. After a few minutes, they came out and said we could check in early. I wonder who managed to clean the room in such a short space of time. The biggest con is that hotels need 4-5 hours to clean the room.

We got to the room and dropped our stuff off but didn’t stay too long. Neither of us wanted to sleep for too long as we needed to sleep tonight ready for an early start tomorrow. We went and got the train to a place called Namba. We saw there was a Starbucks there so that’s why we ended up there. It was quite a busy place. A big station, several office blocks, several shopping malls, lots of neon, a big market.

We walked a little through the market and I found the obligatory souvenirs and purchased said souvenirs. We walked a little further down and I told Ken if he wanted to carry on that it was fine and I would just walk back the way we came. Markets and people are not my thing at all and I didn’t want to be around them all. He carried on walking and I went first to Bic Camera to record their jingle. It’s funny and I’ve sung it a couple of times around Ken to make sure it gets stuck inside his head. I then went inside a shop and had a look around. The top floor was all about Ramen.

I then went back down and met Ken and we went to Starbucks. This one was packed as it was so small. We managed to find a seat and stayed there for about half an hour before deciding to head out and go look for some food. Ken found some Gyoza’s and then we went to look for a 7-Eleven so I could get some food. We found one and they had no egg sandwiches left. By this point, I was getting really irritated. I wanted food, I wanted some sleep, I wanted away from people. We found a Family Mart and I got my sandwiches from there and then we decided to head for the train to come back to the hotel.

I left Ken and then I went out for a walk and had a walk to the tram line and waited for the trams so I could get some pictures and videos. I managed to get one of each in either direction and then I headed back to the hotel as I needed some sleep as we had an early start for the queues and people and theme park tomorrow.

Day 2 > Universal Studios
Today was theme park day. I set my alarm for 06:15 so we could leave by 07:00. I was so tired that I got a fairly decent kip – which is unusual of late. We went down to get breakfast before we left but apparently, we didn’t book a room with breakfast. Oh well, 7-Eleven and Starbucks it was.

We went to the train station where we found Starbucks yesterday – this is the closest one we could find – so Ken could get his coffee. I waited inside the station for him. I was too tired to walk out with him.

We then got the train and had to change a couple of times. One of the stations we needed to change was Nishikujo. We got the full-on Japanese train experience at this station. It was the connecting station for Universal Studios. Every spare millimetre of space was taken. People were trying to get on and get in just enough for the doors to close. Thankfully it was only about 5 minutes (2 stops) on this one before we had to get off.

I have never seen so many people in one place at one time in my life. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. Thankfully it was pretty fast getting out of the station and to the park.

We had already got out tickets so was able to skip the ticket queue and just get in. I can only imagine how long it would have been had we not done that. We went through and started to walk around. Not a lot of things were open this early. It seemed to be about 09:30 – 10:00 that everything opened.

We went to the Minion area and were able to use our tickets to get on the ride in the express queue. We were told we weren’t allowed to have our action cameras on. We told them we didn’t and went on the ride. I thought it was going to be some kind of coaster but it wasn’t. It was a ride where you were sat in front of a screen and the vehicle we were in jolted and rocked. It was ok.

After here, we headed to see more of the park and I saw we had an express ticket for the roller coaster. We were asked to try the test seat to see if we would fit in it. Ken did and I barely did. There was some back and forth between the workers and they eventually said we could go in (Ken reckons if we didn’t have the express pass we wouldn’t have been allowed in). We got to the front of the queue and were told we had to put our backpacks and glasses in lockers. At this point in time, we had passed three workers with our action cameras on our chests. We got to the queue where the ride started and were told we couldn’t wear our cameras (even though they were strapped to our chests). I got a bit pissed off and told Ken I didn’t want to ride it anymore. I went back to the locker and one of the workers really annoyed me by not listening when I said I wanted to leave. This really set the tone for the rest of the park visit.

We went to Super Nintendo World and were told we had to come back at our timed spot. We went and had something to eat and drink (super expensive too). We walked around some more and came across Helly Kitty and Snoopy stuff. By this time, we decided to head back to Super Nintendo World for our timed slot. We got in and walked around some more inside. It was pretty cool. Everything Super Mario. It was really cool to see. All the sounds were from Mario too. We had a timed slot for Mario Kart and Yoshi’s Adventure.

We got into the express queue for this and it went pretty quick. Again, we were told we couldn’t have our cameras on so had to put them in our pockets. We both tried – and failed – to get the ride on camera. The ride was cool. It was as if you were on the Mario Kart track. You had to wear goggles that had a 3D screen and you had to use your shells to collect coins. I don’t even know how many I collected. I wasn’t paying too much attention. After this, we went to the Yoshi ride and, again, had to sit in a test seat. You had to line the white on the bar with the white on the middle perfectly. Ken was fine, I was a couple of mm off. They wouldn’t let me on and said I was too big to ride it. I told Ken to just go on it and I would walk around whilst he was on it. I went and looked in the gift shop and they had no souvenirs I wanted. I was after a lanyard and a magnet and they had neither. I was shocked they didn’t. It seems to me like they would be a big seller. What do I know though! Ken showed me some of the pics he got from the ride and he said he got the entire thing on his camera.

We left there and then walked around some more and headed to the park entrance so we could go to Starbucks. Ken asked if we were able to get back into the park after we left. We got our hand stamped which would allow us to go back into the park. We went to the 7-Eleven there for some sustenance and then to Starbucks. I told Ken I was going to head back to the hotel whilst he waited for the Harry Potter stuff. He went back to the park and I got the train.

I wanted to ride the Osaka Loop line to see if there were things I could see that we could do on the rest of the days we were here in Osaka. I couldn’t really see much because of how busy the train was. It was nice to just sit on the train and ride around. I usually just do this in the cities I visit. I enjoy sitting on the trains. I did the loop line (which was about 45 minutes and 19 stations).

I then headed back to the hotel and just relaxed for about 40 minutes. I decided to head back out to go to the area I said I would meet Ken. I told him I would meet him at Shin-Imamiya station. I told him I was at the south exit. He messaged me about 15 minutes later saying he couldn’t find the south exit and was at the east exit. One of the workers at the station said it didn’t have a south exit – weird that they didn’t know their own stations.

I found him and we went to the area of the tower and it was like Neon City here. It made for some really cool pics though. We were asked a couple of times to take pictures. I told Ken to take one of us before taking a picture of the group. One of the people then offered to take one of me and Ken. They left and then we got some pictures. Another group asked me to take pictures. I took a selfie and then took some of them. Ken then walked up to them and they asked me to take of picture again. They thanked us and started walking off. We heard them laughing and then looking and pointing at me. They found my selfie. It was funny.

We carried on walking and then found the American Embassy for food. I had a double-double cheeseburger. Nothing to write home about but it filled a hungry-sized hole. The fries were quite nice too. The portions were bigger than back home and cheaper than back home.

We headed back to the train station and then got a train back to the hotel. We need to get some sleep ready for a day in Kyoto tomorrow.

Day 3 > Kyoto
Today was the day we decided to go to Kyoto. I had a look a couple of days ago at the weather forecast and it said it was going to be dry and sunny for today. As mentioned when we landed, I checked the forecast for each of the days so I could figure out when it would be best to do each thing.

We set off around 09:00 to go find some breakfast and then head for the train. We had to go from Tamade station to Shin-Imamiya to catch the Osaka Loop line to Osaka and then a train from Osaka to Kyoto.

When we got to Osaka we had to change platforms for the train to Kyoto. They have a weird escalator there that goes up and then levels out and then goes up again. I’m not sure what that’s all about but I decided I wanted to get a video of it on the way back from Kyoto. It was rush hour and I didn’t want to go down and then back up.

We switched platforms and on the platform we wanted there were yellow and red ropes across the platform edge instead of doors. Ken and I wondered how they would open to allow us to board and leave the train. Again, the nerd in me was ready to take a video of how it worked. You can see in the video below (tl;dr it works by raising a bar and that, in turn, raises the ropes to the height of the train).

We got on and managed to get a seat facing forward. It was nice to have a seat like that instead of one that is sideways in the carriage – as is the case on pretty much all of the trains (minus the Shinkansen) we have been on. I think the journey was about 40 minutes between the two cities.

I said to Ken last night that I wanted to go up the Kyoto Tower and also to the district of Gion – which is where you will see the Geishas.

We found Ken a coffee and then headed to the Kyoto Tower. You can see the tower from the train station so the walk wasn’t too far. We got up to the level to buy the tickets before heading up the lift to the 11th floor. It costs Y900 per person to go up the tower. It is worth it though, the views are amazing (though it’s a shame they were obstructed by the orange frame they have at the top). We found a stamp here for our jotters. I had to do it 3 times as I wasn’t forceful enough.

We also saw some of the temples and the mountains up here. We decided that we would go to the temple closest to the tower first and then head back for the bus to the Gion district.

The temple we went to was amazing and very ornate. It was called Higashi Hongan-ji. If you are ever in Kyoto it is one worth visiting.

The grounds are pretty calm and serene and fairly quiet given it is next to a main road. We then went inside the temples. You had to take your shoes off (it was really cold inside and not good for the feet – wear socks. You have been warned) to walk around. You had to keep them in a carrier bag and carry them with you. The one thing I wasn’t fond of was that you couldn’t take pictures inside. It would have been cool to so you could see how ornate it was in them.

We were done here after about an hour and then headed to find some food as we were both hungry. On our way back we headed to some shops we had seen on the way to the temple to see what they had on offer. Nothing that took our fancy. We saw the smallest escalator we have seen though. It took all of 10 seconds to get from top to bottom. I went down them again so Ken could get a picture of me on them. We take pics of all sorts of weird stuff like this.

We ended up just going to the 7-Eleven at the station and getting something quick to eat before heading to the queue for the bus. The queue time was about 15 minutes for the bus. The buses were fairly frequent up to the Gion district. They crammed as many as they could into the bus too. They said not to bring large luggage on the bus but they still let them on anyway. It made for a really cramped journey – luckily we were able to get seats.

The buses here are really strange and board passengers in a way I haven’t seen before. You get on at the second door and it seems to board quicker. When it comes time to get off the bus, you need to leave via the front door and then pay for your journey. I guess it’s a way to stop fare evasion. The cost of the journey was Y230.

We got off in Gion and then Ken spotted somewhere to eat. They had hot egg sandwiches that he had seen on Instagram. They were pretty huge too. We also got some fries and the portion was pretty huge. The worker there said if we left a review on Google we could get a free hot drink or a free mango sorbet. We both did it so Ken could have the hot drink and sorbet.

After we were done here we headed across the road to the shrine. This one is called Yasaka Shrine (though it had several others). We had a walk around and Ken walked up the hill and I was just walking around at the bottom. I saw a Geisha posing and asked if I could take a picture of her and she said that was fine. A lot of tourists come to the Gion district for the Geishas but they are cracking down on the tourists visiting the private side streets. A lot of tourists have been taking pictures forcefully of the Geishas and touching them without consent. I can’t say I blame them for cracking down on this. There is no need for this kind of behaviour.

I walked up and met Ken and we sat at the edge of a pond for a little while just taking in the sights and sounds. We watched a crane land and sit on the rocks just looking at the carp in the water.

We saw a couple more Geishas and got some pictures of them before deciding it was time to carry on walking.

We then headed further up along the stream. It was really nice. It was nice to hear the water flowing and see the waterfall there. We tried other get pictures without people in them but it was virtually impossible to do here. I was then reminded of something said to me by a guy I met in Cairo. He said not to worry about people or objects being in the pictures as it adds to the mood of the pictures. Ever since then, I have tried to live by that.

We walked up to a road and saw someone pulling a rickshaw. We tried to take pics and vids of it but he didn’t seem to want to be in them. I managed to get a video though. You can see that below.

We carried on walking and came across a small path upwards that made for some good pictures. We took some pics here and then walked inside another shrine. As we were walking around a worker came out and told us that it closed at 17:00 (it was 16:52 at this point) so we headed back down to the main shrine square. We missed a trick not going this way first. It was really nice and peaceful up there.

We walked back down and around the main square shrine and it was nice to see the rest of it. We went to the food stalls that we saw on the way in and I got a chocolate coin. It was like the cheese coin Ken had in Tokyo but this one had chocolate in it. It was really delicious. It cost Y500 for this. The batter was a sweet batter and the chocolate was so nice. It was like the biscuit crumbs you find in Cookies & Cream ice cream. I asked Ken if he wanted one and he said no. I think he regretted it after I had finished mine.

We went to Starbucks but didn’t stay for very long. I was falling asleep and we had some extremely noisy eaters on the table right next to us and we both decided to just go because they were awful to listen to. We headed back to the shrines as Ken wanted a chocolate coin. When we got there the guy had no chocolate left. Ken was wounded. We decided to just get the bus back to the station so we could get the train home.

We went and queued for the bus and got lucky to get a seat. At the next stop, the bus completely filled up and there was barely enough room to breathe. The stop after this one was awful. The queue must have been about 60 people long. It queued around the corner. I am so glad we got on when we did.

We got to the station and got some good night shots of the tower. We then went for the train. I don’t remember much of this journey as I let my mind wander. I don’t even remember what it wandered to either.

We got off at Osaka and I managed to get a video of the escalator I mentioned this morning. We need cool escalators like this at home. I’m still not sure what the purpose is of building them like this – maybe to get more people on them and off the platforms. Who knows!

We decided to just head back to the hotel for the night. We got some 7-Eleven food and are now just chilling and trying to figure out how we get to Nara tomorrow for the deer park.

Day 4 > Nara
Today we decided that we would head to Nara to see the deer and whatever else was around. When I looked at the map last night, it showed there was a temple on the way from the station to the deer park. I said that we should just walk from the station instead of getting the bus.

We left a little later today and then headed to the station. We had to change at Shin-Imamiya to get the train directly to Nara. It was weird to see the display boards as the trains were all showing as running late due to an incident.

Whenever I think of trains in Japan, lateness never springs to mind. The train arrived 15 minutes late and we managed to get a forward-facing seat for the journey. The journey from Shin-Imamiya was about 40 minutes in total.

We got to Nara and then headed downstairs to leave the station. As I was walking out I accidentally went in front of someone and they gave me a dirty look even though I apologised. We found a stamp for our jotter before we headed out of the station. I said to Ken he pretty much pressed his jotter through the floor he was pressing down so hard. We stopped to get Ken a brew and I found a magnet. I asked the worker the best way to Nara Park and he pointed me in the direction I thought we needed to go.

We left and started walking towards Nara Park. It was a nice street and very clean. It was an easy and enjoyable walk from the station to the park. I was stopping to take pictures and Ken said “Should we just walk to the park and do this shit on the way back?” I chuckled. We did just that. We got to the park and I could see deer right away. It was really awesome to see the deer just walk up to people and not be scared of them.

We saw them being fed but couldn’t see anywhere that was selling food. Ken asked someone and they pointed us to the cart that was selling the food for the deer. On the way up we wondered how much the food would cost. I said it would be Y500 for 3 crackers. We got to the cart selling them and it was Y200 for about 8 crackers. They were as thin as wafers. I bought 2 packets and Ken bought 3.

As soon as we got the food the deer came up to us. Ken had opened his crackers first and they were trying to grab the crackers from him. I’m not sure if he was scared or nervous but he had a nervous laugh when trying to feed the deer. People around were laughing – they’d probably done the same themselves. When Ken was feeding them they were being slightly aggressive. One of them bit Ken on the belly. I laughed. It was funny. See the video below.

Load more

I started to feed them and they were doing the same to me. One of them bit me on the arse. Ken thought it was hilarious too. It was. I was less nervous feeding them than Ken though.

We crossed the road and started to feed them some more. I managed to get some pictures and videos of this. It was really awesome. They were just so placid once they were away from the entrances and where the majority of the food was.

What was cool to see was the deer bowing to get food from people.

Load more

We carried on walking and just watched other people feeding the deer and seeing them nip at people as they were being fed. We sat down for a little bit and Ken put the crackers in a bag so the deer couldn’t smell them.

Load more

Ken went and fed some more deer. He started to bow and they followed suit. It was really cool to see how integrated the deer and people were. Ken said it showed that nature and humans can integrate well. The deer have been in the area for thousands of years and are very respected by the people of Japan. The government make sure that nothing happens to them and that people follow the rules.

We managed to get some good pictures of the deer, getting right up close and petting them a little bit.

We walked around some more and just watched the people feed the deer and get nudged and nipped.

We heard a whistle and then all of a sudden the deer started running towards the little hill that was in the park.

Load more

We walked in that direction and it was a nice view. There was a lake on the other side and then there were some cherry blossom trees starting to bloom. I can’t stress how nice it was in Nara. You definitely have to go if you to Osaka.

We then walked back to the 5 story shrine/temple and it was so huge. It was a shame that it was being worked on though. The bottom of it was covered in scaffolding so you couldn’t see how the bottom looked. We walked around the grounds and saw the shrines here and it was cool to see.

We went for a brew and it was nice to sit down. I started to look back over some of the videos I took with my DJI and they looked pretty good. I managed to get one of Ken feeding the deer and getting them to bow.

Load more

We sat at Starbucks for about an hour and it was nice to just relax from all the walking we had done.

We left here and then headed back towards the station and we stopped to see “some of that shit” Ken suggested we see.

We got to the station and then got a seat on the train back. I wanted to go back to Osaka station so I could get a video of the escalator from my DJI. We got off and I got my video. I got to the top and looked and saw it was in slow-mo – as were all of the videos from today. I will have to see if I can touch it up to speed it up. Wish me luck. Haha.

We left the station to find some food and I said I wanted to get a video again going back down. We couldn’t find food and decided we would head to the area of Namba so we could get some food. I made sure the camera was on normal record mode and I got a forward-facing video this time.

Load more

We got to Namba got some food and had a walk around and then headed back to the hotel. We are just both so tired and we need to pack for tomorrow as we have a flight back to Tokyo in the evening so it’s going to be a long day.

All in all, today was a really good day. It was so awesome to see the deer in the park and to get up close to them.

Day 5

Last night when we got back to the hotel we asked if we could have a late checkout. They said it was ¥1000 per hour. We asked for an extra hour. That allowed us to check out at 11:00.

I wanted to have a lie-in as the days so far have been early starts.

It was nice to have that lie-in this morning. I got up at 09:30 and showered and then finished packing. We left the room at about 10:45 and headed for the metro to go to Osaka Castle. We wanted to at least walk around the grounds and get some pictures. We didn’t have a lot of time today so that was pretty much all we did.

We got to the metro station it said and the map said it was a 1.3km walk to the castle. It definitely wasn’t that. Ken said we should just follow the crowds to get there. He was right. We did just that and we got to the grounds of the castle. You can walk around the grounds for free. I didn’t want to pay to go into the castle though. The queue was huge anyway. To enter, the waiting time was 45 minutes.

We got our pictures and then decided we needed some food. We headed back the way we came and we saw a shrine and decided to go in there to see. Some guy was making his pet monkey do tricks for the crowd. Ken and I weren’t fans of seeing this. We also saw dogs, cats and rabbits being walked on leads. It wasn’t good because of the heat.

We finished in the grounds and then headed to get some drinks and some food. We sat in Starbucks for about an hour and then headed back to the metro to go to the hotel. I wasn’t feeling too good so it was best we did that. We stopped for some water and food and then went and sat at the hotel for about 90 minutes and then decided to head for the train to go to the airport. I was happy to sit on the platform and watch the trains.

We got the train we needed and had to change at Sakai station for a train bound for the airport. We were far too common to get the limited express or airport express trains.

We got to the airport and just pottered about until we needed to drop the bag off. We did this and then weighed our carry-on bags. We were fine (after a little gaming of the system).

We got through security with our drinks. It’s cool you can do that. Mind you, airport prices here are pretty similar to outside prices.

We went to the gate and waited to board. When it came time to board, several people decided to form another queue and they were disappointed when told we had to form one queue. I wasn’t letting anyone in front of me – neither was Ken.

We boarded and we were around 20 minutes late leaving. This was stressing me out a little as we needed to get back before the last train or bus to the city. Neither of us wanted to sleep at the airport overnight. Neither of us wanted to pay the extortionate price for a taxi. They’re super expensive here for some reason. Really unreasonable.

The flight was a little turbulent but I managed about 10 minutes of sleep. I definitely need more than that though. Roll on bedtime in the small hours of Sunday!

We landed and were told we would have to take a bus to the terminal. By the time we landed, we had about 25 minutes to get off, get to the terminal, get our luggage and then get to the bus. Luckily we didn’t have to wait long for the bus to leave. We didn’t have to wait long to get to the terminal. Even better was that baggage claim was right there and my bag was one of the first off. Result. We left the arrivals area and got our tickets for the city. The staff member said the next bus was at 22:45. We got the tickets only to see that there was a bus at 22:30. Grrr.

Oh well. At least we were able to get the bus in time so we wouldn’t have to sleep at the airport.

I’m impressed with how late the public transport does run in this city (though I shouldn’t be since it’s the capital). I’m not sure I’d be saying the same if we had to sleep at the airport though. We got to Kamata and went to get something to drink for the room and I got some food also. I was hungry. I want good food but there isn’t much open this late at night though. We finally made it back to the hotel and I was shattered. I finally unpacked and got stuff ready for the laundry in the morning so we have some clean clothes.
