Osaka in a nutshell.

Hello! I just came back from Osaka, and we had a blast! :D Though I did come back 3 shades darker FML. It's quite ironic, 'cause I was careful to not get tanned from our minimoon trip in Bali recently, but alas, summer in Osaka got the better of me. T_T

Anyway, posting a few photos from our trip first! Consider it a teaser slash overview. :D


Quaint streets in Kyoto.


Hello Kitty everything!


Purikura FTW! I have never seen myself with bigger eyes, haha.


Making a wish in one of the many shrines that we visited in Kyoto. This was Fushimi Inari Taisha.


Always a sucker for adorable collars.


An iconic sight in Dotonburi, Osaka. If you don't believe, just refer back to the Hello Kitty photo above. :P


Getting my hands on some holy water!


At Shinsaibashi, with the iconic Glico man sign-- which is under renovation now. T___T


Hopping on and off trains to get to Kyoto and Kobe from Osaka-- it's really easy!


A summer-worthy lunch-- cold soba with beancurd skin on ice, served with cold mochi. :D


On the flipside, summer is really beautiful with all the lush greenery!

Can't wait to blog properly about our trip, we took so many beautiful photos! I love going to Japan 'cause it's always filled with pleasant experiences and memories, and this trip was no different. :)
