Covered most of Japan that I've wanted to visit...

I'm backkkkkk!!! Been away the last 10 days taking my dad here and there and everywhere. Covered Utsunomiya, Nikko, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji and Kobe. So so tired!!!

My favourite place outta all the above is definately Hiroshima, Miyajima Island. I love the deers there...they are sooo tame and so cute!!!!!!!

Anyways I'll give ya a picture story of my adventures. Scroll over the photos for captions and click to enlarge.

NIKKO
In Kinugawa - visiting an outdoor onsen!! I'm sorry but no where as good as the one in Hokkaido~Some famous bridge in NikkoVisiting the World Heritage Sites...Had a good day here!! Didn't have time to go to Chuzenjiko and Kegon Falls though =(
OSAKA
By day in DotomboriBack to the Osaka Aquarium again...this is my favourite little fish..isn't he cute!!
Universal Studios JapanEating Okonomiyaki..YUMMY!!
Huge Yodobashi in Umeda nearby our hotelNight view of Osaka from the Floating Garden Observatory

KYOTO
First stop, the famous Golden Pavillion-Kinkakuji. Good weather. The last time I came here it was snowing!!At Kyoto Station just about to grab a bite for lunch
BEAUTIFUL MAIKOS!!! I don't think they are real maikos though...but beautiful nonetheless..At Kiyomizu..following Linda's recommendations...thumbs up! =)



HIROSHIMA
A-bomb Dome. Went to the peace park and museum too...it was good!!OMG they have trams in Japan~ They call them 'streetcars' though hehe...reminds me of melb!Hornless deers roaming everywhere...very kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!The best oysters in the world. Floating torii...most photographed site in JapanPicture perfect!

HIMEJI
The white eglet..that's what it's otherwised called...The castle was really well built, really sturdy and well designed for protection.The castle was massive...it took us 2 hours to get through and we climbed like a million staircases...View from the top of the castle...The japanese garden next to the castle...Sakura's are in bloom already..due to the usually hot winter weather.
