Hehe, this trip is all about leaving Mom behind. She kept saying I was so heartless. Early this morning, I saw Mom off from Busan to Taiwan, and in the afternoon it was my turn to fly from Busan to Fukuoka. It was very quick, less than an hour. My steam eye mask had just cooled down (finally I could take photos and make a post), and as soon as I came out after picking up my luggage, I saw a huge Yamakasa float. So happy〜

This time I took the bus back to central Hakata. The stop was very easy to find, right behind Lawson.
But next time I'll probably take the subway because the bus was a little shaky, plus there were so many people that it was hard to breathe.

JPY 400!

After the disappointment of not getting to try the freshly fried fries, I started buying up a ton of stuff. I was just looking through my photos and found this. Everyone, please, this is so good. I originally thought it looked pretty unremarkable, but it turned out to be super delicious. I devoured a whole box by myself...
But then again, I'm already a potato lover. This is Tokyo-exclusive, right?!
(I once saw a book at Eslite called
“Crazy for Potatoes,” and I honestly think the author and I could become sworn sisters. Not sure if she'd want to though, haha.)
Ugh, I wish I'd bought a few more boxes.
It's seriously delicious〜the kind that leaves you licking your fingers and savoring the flavor,
because there's so much seasoning powder.

With Koikeya, I've always thought the classics were seaweed salt and spicy ridged chips. I've realized I prefer ridged chips, but somehow I barely remember these lightly salted ones?
Maybe because I usually eat other flavors more. Oh, right, there's also a plum flavor.
My dad loves the plum flavor too. You can get it at Daiso in Taiwan〜
I love them so much that someone bought me two cases.
So funny

These potato chips are insanely expensive, with a reputation for being thick and super delicious, and they're only available at Hankyu in Osaka.
As someone who loves potatoes, how could I pass them up? Even if my super stingy aunt nagged me, I was still going to buy them. She looked shocked when she saw the price, but I happily bought them anyway. Sorry, I still don't understand the hardships of life⋯
But that aunt actually bought some too after seeing me buy them! Even her son was shocked, so funny.
Unfortunately, I have an unsophisticated palate. All I could tell was that they were thick. As for everything else, I was just like, um⋯ yeah⋯ sorry.
But I gave some to someone, and my friend said, “Yeah, they're thick,” and that was it. So funny.
Looks like my friends and I all have unsophisticated palates〜
They do have quite a few flavors, though, and the portions are pretty small.
I think they're worth trying for the novelty!
Found the photo in my pile of souvenirs, hehe.

Mt. Inasayama, one of the world's top three night views.

Just for that reputation, even after finally making the long journey and spending the whole day on the road, I still really wanted to come at night.

It was around 8 p.m. We were clearly still downtown when I suddenly told my friend I really wanted to go to Mt. Inasayama. And then we actually went. Totally crazy. I love being a crazy person who just goes whenever I feel like it.

Even though we probably stayed up there for less than 20 minutes, I was still glad we came. Otherwise, after going home, I probably would've cried about not coming, haha.

But rather than taking the ropeway up the mountain, what I actually long for more is riding motorcycles with a group of people to see the night view together.
(Too bad I don't have any friends 😢

Look, there's a heart in the distance. For these few photos, all the hardship along the way started turning into excitement once we got on the ropeway?

In the end, we just barely caught the last ropeway down. It was so nerve-racking and thrilling because we almost got stranded on the mountain, hahaha.

There were actually a lot of taxi drivers up there, though. It seems like there must be good money in it.

But sorry, I only had enough money for the ropeway, haha, and I get carsick easily.

Night views...
I've never really understood what's so great about them.
They're just bright lights. Wouldn't looking at the stars be better?
But I still really liked this impulsive trip.

But that's okay. This trip was meant for checking places off my list and being a crazy person anyway? If I'm worried I'll regret something, I'll do it first and regret it afterward.
That's how I see it.

I have so many memories of Ginza.

First, I met two Chinese friends? I guess they were store employees, and we started chatting. It was so funny. I met them because the staff at the drugstore across the street had such a terrible attitude that I came straight to this one. The prices weren't that different anyway.

I also dyed my hair for the first time〜
It really took a lot of courage. Ever since I was little, people have always complimented me on how jet-black and shiny my hair was.
(I was really proud of it, you know?
I made this decision because I really trusted the stylist (because my friend who dyes her hair all the time said he was really good), but when I came back, my mean-mouthed friend said I looked like a middle-aged lady⋯?
It looked much better after the color faded.

I also went to try the yakiniku and dessert that the stylist recommended. He was really easy to talk to, and we chatted using GPT for two hours. So cool〜 He also happened to be planning a trip to Taiwan!

I also ate at Yayoi Ken. I had just arrived in Tokyo that day and thought I still had almost two hours to shop, but I was starving, so I got in line.
Luckily, since I was alone, I got a seat really quickly, but I couldn't understand Japanese very well, and the employee even came out looking for me. I was such a mess, and then it turned out the employee was super handsome. I wanted to cry.

And then there was the time I had a massive nosebleed and people passed me tissues.
I often hear that Japanese people are cold. I had a nosebleed in the restroom, and while I was crouching on the floor wiping up the blood, I was honestly terrified that I might pass out. After wiping it up, I hurried out of the restroom without even buttoning my jeans and just pulled them up. My sun-protection jacket was long enough to hide it anyway, and I crouched there outside the restroom with my nose bleeding. (I think I did a great job—I even wiped the floor hahaha)
I figured that if I suddenly passed out, there would be more people around to help me. Then people passed me three packs of tissues, and someone alerted an employee. The employee came running in with a huge pack of tissues, and a foreigner even asked me, “Are you ok?”

I only went there twice, and both times were short visits, but I ended up with so many memories〜

The Okayama museum—I actually just passed by, but I did see an exhibition that really interested me: an Egyptian exhibition.
I've been interested in ancient Egyptian artifacts and the pyramids since I was a child, but it was my first time traveling to Japan on my own, and I was more interested in Japan. Plus, the admission wasn't very cheap, so I just passed by and took a photo〜
But now it has come in handy. What a happy occasion.

Jaga Pokkuru and Imoko and Kobutaro
are both snacks I absolutely love. I'm actually a huge potato fan!
The fries are salty and crunchy, while the potato chunks are gone in about five bites. I like to suck on the last few pieces until they turn soft hahaha

I used to love buying Jagabee fries at the supermarket. Honestly, I can't really tell what the difference is? (Whispering because Jagabee seems cheaper, though I later realized it isn't.)

After I became somewhat financially independent, I started ordering Jaga Pokkuru online. All I can say is that it feels so good〜

But I still wonder why the bags are so small? There are ten bags in a box, and I can eat half of them in one sitting... Sometimes I restrain myself and hide them away, only to discover they've expired.
(╯°Д°）╯︵ \/(.□ . \\)

I won't hold back from sharing these beautiful photos with everyone! Because
it really was beautiful. Although the sunset was blocked, I still thought it was very beautiful, and I waited until the sun had completely set. I honestly think the sunset bus is a gift to humanity?
Hahahaha

I've been to Kojima Bus Station twice.
The first time, I wanted to go to Ojigatake to watch the sunset, and I chose between Ojigatake and Washuzan. But while I was looking up how to get back down, I found that Ojigatake was more convenient, except there were no more buses...
I don't know whether I hadn't done enough research or got something wrong at the time. Anyway, I didn't make it to Ojigatake, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back if I went to Washuzan...
It put me in such a bad mood that even three delicious meals couldn't have cheered me up. (I really love sunrises and sunsets.)

So this time, I researched the transportation super carefully, and I actually found out that Washuzan has a sunset bus!
So I made up my mind to rush back from Tottori and watch the sunset to make up for last time.
(If Tottori had a better spot, I definitely would've gone there, but Tottori is really so remote...)

Anyway, in the end I really did get on the sunset bus as I'd hoped!
Overall, it was pretty good. The older driver was also very cute and even made a huge heart sign at us!
The only downside was that the mountain road was really bumpy, and there were no restrooms along the way, so you really should go before leaving. But the driver seemed like he really didn't want me to go, maybe because he was afraid I'd make us late? But there were still about ten minutes left.
So I went anyway, and luckily I did!

After arriving at Washuzan, the scenery before my eyes really felt like a painting. I'll just post the beautiful scenery in this review.
(I'll put the beautiful sunset in the Seto Ohashi Bridge review.

Honestly, I was a little moved. It wasn't simply thinking, wow, it's so beautiful. It was because I'd gone through so much and taken so many detours, rushing all the way back from Tottori, storing my luggage, finding the limited express train, and really worrying that I'd be late. In the end, I finally saw the sunset I'd wanted to see for so long!

I'm so glad I came. No regrets now ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)و
