From KL to Narita to Osaka

DAY 1
Board on an overnight flight to Narita by Japan Airlines.
It was about 6 1/2 hour journey to Narita.
Slept all the way..
And a creepy person was sitting next to me..LOL.

DAY 2
Touched down at Narita Airport earlier than the ETA.
Then, transferred to Haneda Airport for the domestic flight to Itami (Osaka).
The journey took about 1 1/2 hour due to the heavy traffic.
Note for future travelers to Japan, if you have a connecting flight at Haneda Airport, make sure you book the connecting flight 3-4 hours after you arrived Narita to avoid missing the flight.

Lunch at Haneda Airport.
The chawamushi is SUPERB!

At the boarding gate of Haneda Airport.

It was a forty five minute flight to Itami.
We were then off to our first sightseeing tour at Kyoto.
It takes about 1 1/2 hour from Itami Airport to Kyoto.

Passing by beautiful trees along the way..

First stop, at Kiyomizu Temple.

This place was jam packed with humans when we visited there.
Co-incidentally, there's a school field trip going on.
SO MANY STUDENTS WERE THERE.
We were caught in a jam for almost an hour to get to this temple.
The road up to the temple is really narrow.

But, it was all worth it.
The view from this temple, was really, BREATHTAKING!

Look at this!!Pretty right??


The fallen autumn leaves..Kirei desu ne. Just in case you don't know, I was wearing a new pair of shoes I bought from Cotton On. Purposely bought this pair of shoes for this trip. Hehe..

View so nice, must cam-whore a bit!

Can you see the group of students? There were so many of them!!


Looking at the red color of the leaves made me wanna shout out loud, THEY ARE SO PRETTY!!!!!!

A pair of Mandarin Ducks. They were so still, I thought they were fake! HAHA..

View of Kyoto City.

Human traffic jam! Sky was starting to turn dark but it was only about 4p.m that time.

We then rushed to Heian Shrine before the sky turned darker.
But the massive jam did not helped.
By the time we reached Heian Shrine, it was already closed and we can only snapped picture like this:-

Depressing..Sigh.

Oh, well..Nothing can be done about this.
So off to Osaka to:-

Doutonbori Street. This place is happening!

Next to this street is the famous Shinshaibashi Street!

End the day with check in into Keihan Hotel.
When I went into this hotel room, the first thing in my mind was, Wow,such a huge room for myself!
The room has a queen size bed and a single bed.
Really suitable for family of 4 to stay here.
Especially for the kids too.
Cuz the theme for the room deco is Woody the Woodpecker.

You will see Woody on:-

The curtain

The wall

And even on the bed. Cute.

Coming up in the next post, Universal Studios Japan!! :D
