This place is huge, seriously huge. I was ready to shop like crazy.

Then I realized you shop by separate sections. The first time I went, I was running around with a basket, and the staff told me, “No, no, no.” My mom laughed at me and I was so embarrassed.

The second time, I was super bummed because I missed getting freshly fried Calbee chips or fries by just three minutes.

If you want to try them like I did, you can follow my map pin to get there!

You’ll get to Ichibangai right away, because I got lost.

Tokyo Station is honestly insanely big.

Oh well, third time’s the charm, right?

Please, I really hope I can finally eat them next time.

I have a lot to say about this. I originally booked the Aso Boy!, but because of the rain, the streetcar was moving super slowly and I missed it. I got into a huge argument with my friend, and I even squatted on the ground and cried.

I really hate it when things don’t go according to my plan. It was also my first time planning a trip by myself. I know plans can’t always keep up with changes, but when it completely falls through, I just feel like everything is ruined.

Maybe I had also built up too much stress... because some of the earlier parts of the trip had already changed too, so I kind of had a meltdown haha.

But then my friend immediately booked the Yufuin no Mori. I got on the train very unwillingly, though I had already planned to stay in Yufuin for one night.

I mean, I really wanted to go see Beppu, and I wanted to see the decorations on the Aso Boy! too. That dog must have been so cute...

Well, my friend bought me ice cream, so I had no choice but to forgive him.

I was supposed to happily celebrate my 22nd birthday here, but I ended up really unhappy.

There was morning mist, but it honestly didn’t look good at all.

It’s just a lake, so I don’t know why it’s so popular.

I was so mad. I didn’t sleep all night because I was super excited.

It made me upset first thing in the morning… and I even stayed here for a day just for this. It took almost half an hour to walk over, and it was freezing… Maybe I just came at the wrong time.

I really wanted to come here, and I even kept asking the tour guide along the way. I just happened to run into a tour leader from Taiwan too lol.

By the time I got there, the other gates had already been closed, and I was so sad... My cousin even laughed at me, and my mom told me to just give up.

But!

I wouldn’t give up, so I walked all around and finally managed to get in. There were only three minutes left before closing.

I was just about to take pictures, but there was already an older staff member trying to usher people out.

At that moment, an Indian family asked me to take a photo for them, and right after I finished, the staff member said no more photos...

I really wanted to take pictures too... *sob*

And I really wanted to buy an omamori.

But thankfully, I did get to see it!

And honestly, that already made me really happy at the time lol.

I was actually just passing by, but if you’ve seen that I went to Kitaro, you probably already know I’m really into yokai and that whole genre lol.

I especially love Junji Ito’s art style.

It just feels so weird in the best way. Is that a personal fetish? lol

I think I even got a capsule toy at a nearby shop.

I honestly can’t remember whether I actually went into the merchandise-only section, or maybe it was just a store.

That day I was so worried there wouldn’t be a ferry back to Takamatsu, so I was rushing around and didn’t dare wander too much haha.

What I really liked was that even without going inside, the whole exterior was done so well.

It made me go wow, I really want to check it out.

It definitely has that kind of pull.

This is the rainbow I saw on the Kitaro Train.

I didn’t get a photo of the train artwork because I was so tired and just wanted to rest. But when I looked up, I saw this rainbow.

I got so happy that I accidentally pointed at it, and there happened to be a Taiwanese guy sitting across from me. He turned around and took a picture too!

It seriously put me in such a good mood. It was that kind of unexpected little surprise, and the rainbow was so clear.

It was really beautiful. I honestly feel like I get ridiculously happy over little things like this lol.

It’s not really a huge deal, but little moments of happiness during a trip can make you feel so, so happy.

I was already excited because I was out traveling, and then this just added on top of that.

I was like, wow, I’m seriously so lucky lol.

Maybe I’m too easy to please.

I actually do have a photo, but I posted it on IG with some text on it, and the image quality isn’t very good haha.

Honestly, Nara Park is super famous!

But it was kind of scary. Buying crackers to feed the deer is basically a must, but the pressure is intense.

They keep surrounding you, and it feels like they might jump on you at any moment.

Also, for some reason I thought there would be giant Buddhas all over Nara lol. Heiji was so cool in that Conan movie hahaha.

It was really funny seeing the deer bowing to people, and then so many people would bow back.

But honestly, I felt like there were almost as many people as deer.

That was actually kind of overwhelming. There were seriously tons of people.

Still, I feel like this is one of those places everyone adds to their itinerary when they go to Osaka.

It was raining that day. I hope I can collect all of the ONE PIECE statues someday!

There was also a handprint below it, and my hand is tiny.

When I put my hand on it, theirs was way bigger than mine. But I don’t have a photo, so I’m not sure if I deleted it... so sad. I was taking photos nonstop the whole trip in Japan.

Maybe because it was raining, I got to take a good photo with Luffy~

But honestly, I like Levi more.

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t find anything here about Attack on Titan in Hita, only Oita...

Whenever I see Luffy doing this pose, it makes me want to copy it too hahaha. Do everyone’s photos end up with the same pose?

Honestly, I don’t really remember much about this place. I basically only came because everyone said it’s famous and that you should visit, hahaha.

It was definitely unique, but what I liked was... was it the crane? I thought it was really delicate.

And there was also one with huge nostrils.

Uh, is saying that going to offend anyone?

But the komainu really did have super big nostrils, and it was so cute.

Don’t you think it’s kind of hilarious?

I’m calling it the "broken dog."

I seriously absolutely love this street.

I kept taking pictures the whole way. I originally wasn’t planning to stay that long, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. It was so awesome.

There are so many works here? I guess that’s how I should put it?

This is where I have to talk about the iPhone for a second.

The new feature lets you cut things out and turn them into stickers.

It works especially well with these.

Hahahaha I seriously love it.

And it has so much attitude, don’t you think?

There are sarcastic ones,

slapping ones,

funny goofy ones,

and tons of stunned-looking ones.

I could even use these pictures to tell stories hahaha.

I’m actually not very good with punctuation.

I’m not really sure how to split things into sentences and paragraphs.
