Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu
Directly connected to the departure lobby of Haneda Airport Terminal 2, Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu is ideally situated for tourism, business travel, or convenient overnight stays before or after flights.
The pillows and mattress were super comfy. Got a great night's sleep and it was perfect for catching my flight the next morning 🤭
Takahata Fudoson Kongoji Temple
Along with Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, Takahata Fudoson is one of the three largest temples housing an immovable statue of the Wisdom King in the Kanto region. It is the special head temple of the Shingonshu sect, Chizan school of Buddhism.
What moved me most during my visit was how sincere and respectful everyone was, from the monks to the worshippers. The temple's architecture and gardens also left a strong impression on me.
Mt. Otowa Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Opened in the year 778, the temple was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994. In the 130, 000 m2 area of the precincts spread out on the hillside of Mt. Otowa, there are more than 30 cathedrals and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties.
The Kiyomizu Stage is so impressive and beautifully built without a single nail! The mountain scenery in the distance is really refreshing and calming.
Dotonbori
Crab, octopus, cow, crane….these are just a few of the oversized 3D signboards that make up the look and feel of the bustling Dotonbori Area. Its packed with a number of eateries along the northern Dotonbori River and main street along its southern side.
After three years, I finally made it back to Osaka! The huge 3D signboards are definitely a highlight of Dotonbori.
Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.
We rushed in right when Universal Studios Japan opened in the morning and stayed all the way until it closed at 9 p.m. It totally lived up to the hype!
