Japan Day 3 – Kimono experience, Osaka Castle to Nara

For the 3rd day of our honeymoon, this is a continuation from our night stroll at Hirano Ward, Osaka, and that’s not all, we continue our tour within Osaka by visiting Osaka Castle. And while at Hirano Ward, we’ve notice a Yoshinoya store and the smell from the inside that came through the ventilator was so good. When we take a look in their food display outside, it made us hungry. Hahahah! We get inside the store so we can experience the food and it was really good.

Early morning, we woke up for breakfast and had another conversation with our host and ask another advice where and how to get in Osaka Castle, but before we head to the castle, we ask our host if we can borrow her Kimono for a short time, just like what other reviewers said at airbnb. And luckily she said yes and we were very happy. My wife has experienced one of Japanese tradition wardrobe! Hooray!

After my wife’s portrait session, we finally head to Osaka Castle. Every time we head to another destination, the feeling is always great and exciting. We also visited MIO mall at Osaka and saw something we didn’t expect. Hahaha! So many books to read and yet the most interesting are the hentai books! Yes! You read it right, HENTAI! Hahahah! It’s an old tradition art hentai and it was weird. And that’s not all, there are more modern hentai around the mall. Hahaha! After visiting MIO, we take another stroll around Tenn?ji , Osaka.

And here we are, at Osaka Castle! The park and the garden were so nice and the castle was huge! It would be so awesome if the park is full of Sakura just like photos from flickr users shared in their photostream.

After traveling in Osaka, we headed to Oji, Nara. A one night stay for a Nara park destination and to say hello to deer park and largest Buddha!
