I was really thinking of booking a plane ticket to Osaka again but figured that I don’t have the slightest clue yet of my schedule for this year so I set the thought aside for now.

It’s so easy to get lost. I am always pressed for time in this exploration so what would a solo traveler do on a situation like this? Thankfully, they have a very systematic travel counter. I asked about the stops and where I need to alight or exchange trains in order to arrive in Arashiyama and the attendant explained very well on where I should. She even provided maps and guides for me to use. So when I opened the map, voila!~ Am I in the future?

No regrets though because my last meal in Japan is freaking unforgettable. I feel like I am exaggerating all my words but at the same time, I don’t because it is what it really is lol. I am super full.

I thought by seeing Japan, my eagerness to see it will fade but turns out it’s the other way around. I am determined to see Japan even more. Explore more of it, see more of it, taste more it. It’s true when they say Japan is that one place you’ll always want to get back to. I am lucky to have relatives in Japan and have a place to stay when I visit Osaka. Heck, I am lucky to have Japanese cousins. How’s that.
