Time to go back to Osaka

Was able to catch this train that will take me directly to Osaka.
Dinner

Finally food. Today is omurice because it’s not ketchup.
Crowds

So many people at Dotonbori today.
Glico Man

Ah. So this is the Glico man. Don’t know the story and can’t understand the hype. 😅
Good morning

Good morning from Nara!
Grandeur
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
What a structure. And what a Buddha.
Closed
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Needed alternative plans because the Nara National Museum was closed today. The Kofukuji hall for its Buddhist art artifacts does not allow photography.
Downtime
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Some much needed sit down time. We’ve been walking around the last few days. It’s nice just to sit, relax, and observe the locals going on about their day.
Lunch
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Waited for this shop’s opening. That’s what I didn’t consider in my plan. Shops may not be open from 9-5 and have closing windows. Well, now we know.
Mochi
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
These were the famous mochis with the elderly doing an outrageous job of putting it into shape. Unfortunately, they’re not here today.
Post-massage meal
7. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
After a great hour massage session, I got into hungry mode. Fish stock ramen is another level.
Transfer
8. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Bye, Osaka. It was fun. I’ll definitely be back and do more gay things.
Outskirts

Going to the outskirts of Kyoto
New adventure

Then there’s a store floating down the river
Wagyu

I now understand people who love wagyu.
Bamboo Forest

I get the charm. It’s so peaceful. Good thing there aren’t noisy people here.
Beautiful

This is such a beautiful station.

Starting early today.

Went early but I think most people did too.
Serene
9. lokakuuta 2024, Japani ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
There is a certain charm to walking these gates. That and so many annoying tourists that want you to move fast.

What a view of the city. And can’t probably go on from here. I’m going back.
