Are you usually going to buy anything when you go into the theme park? If it is a NO, make sure you turn it into a YES if you got a chance to visit to Universal Studio Japan as they are now having the theme area for Super Nintendo World and there are a lot of Mario products are selling in the shop.
Although it is still possible for you to get some of the products some where else but I would say the choices are not as complete as the 1 inside the park. Do not hesitate and just buy some of this happiness home!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 so evil 😈😈🙈
In 2024, I would like to travdl to Perth!!
Universal Studio Japan 🎢🎡🎠🛝
#2024wish #themepark #japan
This is the 2nd Universal Studio I visited after the one in Singapore and I would like to say the theme park is never cease go amaze me with the games, facilities, ambiences and so on. If you are travelling to Osaka, you must reserve 1 day for this theme park.
Highlight:
- They are now having the electrifying dance parade daily until 1 Mar 2024 (subject to change) called No Limited. The characters from Super Mario, Pokémon, Minions, Snoopy, Hello Kitty and so on will be joining together where you can let yourselves loose and enjoy dancing with them. 💃🏻🕺🏼
Entrance:
- Highly recommend to book it in advanced before your arrival so that you do not have to stuck in the queue to buy tickets!!! Remember, the theme park will be full all the time regardless it is weekday or weekend!! 😝
USJ apps:
- Also recommend to download the apps before entering the park where you can check the waiting time directly for all the games.
- If you would like to visit the Nintendo World, you can try your luck by booking an area timed entry ticket here.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When the GameWorld turns into real 😨
#2024wish #japan #couplestrip #universalstudio
Visited to Universal Studio Japan last December just for this Mario World and if you are Mario Game lover, USJ should be in your bucket list!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Due to the big crowds, there is no guarantee that you will be able to enter this area. The entrance methods can be as per below:
- buy the entrance ticket with Mario World pass (have to purchase earlier as there are limited tickets) with extra pay.
- if you buy the normal pass, go to the USJ as early as possible to queue so that you can get to enter the area without extra pass.
- download USJ app to get the area timed entry ticket upon entering the park.

6tips for traveling in Japan in AUTUMN
Are you traveling to Japan for the first time? Here are six travel tips that I have organized for you. Click here to check them out. 😊
1. 💱 Currency Exchange: In Japan, many businesses only accept Japanese yen, so it's best to exchange some money into yen before your departure. You can do this at the airport, banks, or hotel front desks. However, it's advisable not to exchange too much at the airport or hotels, as the exchange rates may not be very favorable.
2. 🚅 Purchase JR Pass: If you plan to travel to multiple cities in Japan, buying a JR Pass is a good option. The JR Pass allows you to ride trains operated by JR Railway Company nationwide, including high-speed trains, and the price is cheaper compared to buying individual tickets.
3. 🚇 Taking the Subway: Japan's subway system is highly developed but can be complex. Before taking the subway, it's best to check maps and routes in advance to avoid getting lost.
4. 🙏 Observe Etiquette: Japanese people place a strong emphasis on etiquette, so it's important to be mindful of your behavior in public places. For example, avoid being loud or rowdy on the subway or train, refrain from eating while walking on the streets, and avoid taking photos indiscriminately.
5. 🍴 Dining: Japan has a rich food culture, but there are also certain things to be mindful of. For example, before a meal, it's customary to use a hot towel to clean your hands, avoid pointing at others with chopsticks, and refrain from blowing on your food to cool it down.
6. 👔 Dressing: Japanese people pay attention to dressing appropriately, so it's best to dress modestly when traveling to Japan. For example, when visiting temples or shrines, it's recommended to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts and avoid wearing sandals or flip-flops.

It's a small World after All.
How can you not love this ride? It is a classic and iconic attraction known for its charming and whimsical portrayal of global unity and cultural diversity. It's also a great way of cooling off during hot days.
A nice quiet attraction great for small kids and toddlers. You just sit on a boat and it will take you to different places with small moving dolls/animals. Avoid if you are scare of moving dolls.
I wish to go back in 2024

Tokyo Disneyland
#2024wish
Tokyo Disneyland, where dreams come true! This is the happiness place in the world. The area of the park is 115 acre theme park at the Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba Peefecture, Japan, near Tokyo. The main gate is directly adjacent to both Maihama Station and Tokyo Disneyland Station.
There are 7 themed areas in the park. The park is busy all year round especially during school holidays and public holidays. The opening hours is from 9am to 9pm daily but good to check the website first as sometimes might have changes in the operating hours. Good to go minimum 1 full day.
Recommended to buy tickets online and download the Tokyo Disney Resort App to have a more efficient day! You can get Disney Premier Access, standby pass or book restaurants via the app. You also can view the waiting time for the rides too! Is so convenient. Have fun everyone!
I wish to go Los Angeles!

Tokyo Tower Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Excellent Tokyo Tower in Japan 🗼🇯🇵
#cherryblossom2024 🌸
😍 I saw the cherry blossom rope and Tokyo tower at the exit of the Japanese subway station, and the most surprising thing about this trip in Japan is undoubtedly this!
🚇 Navigation positioning: Kamiyamachi Station Subway Line: Hibiya Line Exit: You can see it right out of Exit 5! Note that walking underground on the ground can lead to getting lost.
The last one is from the Ma Bu Tai observation deck, which is also free to walk up.

Nara Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Ohhh my deer in Nara Park 🦌🦌🦌
#2024wish #Japan #草原 #narapark #deer #awesomepic #december #couplestrip
Located 1 hour away from the Kyoto station, Nara park is the world famous home for thousands of roaming deers.
The park opens 24 hours per day and no admission fee required where you can just go there anytime and buy the foods to feed them. However, personally Im not recommending to go there after 5 pm as the road is quite dark and you might be scared by the deers 😂
Tips:
- Wear a black shoes as there are a lot deer poo poos in the park!!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth and visit the Kangaroos and Koalas🐨🦘

Nara Deer Park is fun for kids! 🦌
#fallishere
If you are in Osaka you might as well visit Nara Park where you can just relax and chill in the park. No entrance fee. Free to roam around and enjoy the company of cute deers.
This part of the trip was so exhilarating. It's simply stunning. The whole experience was amazing.
The open fields, the shrines, the deer, everything was beautiful. Recommended to explore the park further and enjoy the nature.
Be prepared to walk at least 20k steps and wear comfortable shoes.
Feeding the deer in Nara
Nara Park is one of the must-see areas in Nara City. It is a nice place to see hundreds of deer roaming freely.
Feeding the deer is one of the highlights when visiting the park. Some deer are aggresive tho, they will be chasing you if they smell the crackers, which you can buy around the park for 200 yen.
When you bow your head to the deer, they bow back to
you.
Getting there:
From Kyoto, take the JR Nara Line from Kyoto Station to JR Nara Station. Miyakoji rapid trains depart every 30 minutes, and the trip takes about 45 minutes one-way. It is covered by the JR Pass. Local trains are also available, but take an hour and fifteen minutes one-way.
