Universal Studios Japan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Universal Studios' 【Mario】 theme park is a paradise for fans of the 2D world!
💜Summer vacation is here, and for those babies who are worrying about where to play, please mark this Universal Studios' 【Mario】 theme park – although it's in Osaka, with various barriers now gone, traveling to 🇯🇵Japan is so easy~ Go for it~
🤍This place is really a paradise for fans of the 2D world, it's so photogenic, you can dress up as Mario, strike a pose, and there's a watch in the store that makes the sound of hitting a coin block when you wear it, which is super cool~ It instantly transported me into the Super Mario game~
💕🚁🧸👙🌈YOYO takes you traveling 🌈👙🧸🚁💕
🇯🇵⛩️Japan Edition⛩️🇯🇵
This time at the theme park, I didn't buy the express pass, and from the actual experience, I didn't feel it was necessary. Planning ahead and making full use of the single rider line is the real time-saving secret.
The Harry Potter area
The queue time was the longest of all the attractions, but it wasn't particularly annoying because the line was orderly, and everyone was quiet and well-behaved, whether they were queuing or chatting.
Find an empty locker to store your bag, and from personal experience, don't go in holding your phone in your hand to play; if you need to bring your phone, it's best to have it in a pocket that can be tightened or hang it around your neck. The game itself isn't particularly thrilling, but that day I went in holding my phone, and I was worried the whole time about it falling out – which made it a thousand times more nerve-wracking.
As a matter of course, I had a butterbeer at the Hog's Head pub, and it tasted good.

#2024wish
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!!

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.
充實京都之旅
京都除咗有好多好嘢食,亦都有好多打卡地點,令到我哋嘅旅程充滿回憶同埋樂趣!我哋用咗一日嘅時間行咗好多唔同嘅景點,中間除咗欣賞景色,仲可以拍下短片,為呢個旅程記錄低美好嘅回憶 😊
Kyoto's "Spirited Away"
Gion, situated in Kyoto, Japan, is a captivating district that effortlessly blends tradition with modernity. Renowned as the city's historic geisha district, Gion is characterized by narrow cobbled streets, wooden machiya houses, and traditional tea houses. The iconic Hanamikoji Street is lined with preserved machiya structures, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports visitors to Japan's past. Gion not only preserves the artistry of geisha entertainment but also offers a glimpse into authentic Japanese culture through its tea ceremonies, traditional arts, and seasonal festivals. Amidst the historic charm, modern elements like upscale boutiques and fine dining establishments add a contemporary flair. Visitors to Gion witness the enduring grace of geiko and maiko performers, creating a timeless ambiance that showcases Kyoto's commitment to preserving its cultural legacy.

Tokyo Disneyland Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
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 night view
#2024wish
The view is beautiful from all directions, but in one part, a nightscape shaped like the Tokyo Tower suddenly appears. This is actually from car lights on the ground that look like the Tokyo Tower. Experience the strange feeling of seeing the Tokyo Tower from inside the Tokyo Tower. It is known as the "second Tokyo Tower." Please check it out if you visit the main deck.
I want to visit this tower again in 2024.

#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.
