| [Last Part] |
Finally, it's going down to the last part of my Japan Trip! [
Part 1,
Part 2,
Part 3 ]. So brace yourself for another long post that I'm gonna tell you!
So the last 2 days of my Japan trip had been quite fascinating. Why ? Because we should used the last 2 days as well as we could so we wouldn't have any regret when coming back from Japan. So we had a full scheduled plan for shrine and temple for one day ! Because we were already in Osaka area and they have so many famous Temple and Shrine at that area and nearby!
One thing you should know what the differences between a temple and a shrine. So for the temple, it is for the buddhism, while Shrine is for Tao religion. Tao is one of the major religion in Japan. They pray for the god for protection in shrine.
First stop! It was Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine !

If you happen to notice that you probably knowing this place, because everyone that came to Japan always took a picture in this famous red gate. There was better gate to took a photo inside but because it was too crowded and we had a limited time, we just enjoyed the entrance feel and took a pict.

At the entrance before entering the shrine, there was so many food and snack stalls. They sell skewers and takoyaki that really tasted so good. I tried one thing that catches my attention! Yeapp The orange fruit in the photo above. It was a really fresh orange juice that they squeeze on the spot without peeling the fruit's skin. So it's 100% natural and fresh but it had NO SUGARRR! So it tasted a bit bitter lol! Yuckss!

The next place we visited was the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple ! The enter gate was quite tiring because we had to take the stairs straight up to the top.

This place was really famous because the building was really tall from the ground and all the material is wood based only but it's strong enough to keep so many people at the top.

Many people come here to pray but there's one thing that people really want to try, it's the famous water fountain. There's 3 fountain, each one represent love, youth, and luck. I also tried to drink from that fountain also, and the crowd is real!

Near the restaurant that we choose for our meeting point, I saw this store that sell the best cheesecake of all Japan ( they said ), PABLO!!!
 |
| [Peach] |
 |
| [Original] |
I bought 2 cheesecake, it was original and the other was the peach cheesecake for takeaway and ate it later at the hotel. One note from me, the original cheesecake was freaking delicious and so moist in the inside. It was one of the best cake I've ever taste!

| [Pablo] |
AND THE BEST PART was we will have KOBE BEEF for the dinner wohoooo! So what's exactly kobe beef is? Well, I don't really know much either but it is one of the highest grade beef meat ever and the beef was coming from the cow from Kobe area (? ) I think, many said that the cow itself was live only at their cage so they don't move around a lot and that's why their beef was full of fat and will taste really good when you grilled it but be careful because it has so many fat, you don't need to grilled it too much because the fat will become oil and will burnt your delicious beef. Anyway 300gr Kobe Beef costed us JPY 8.500 ! So, yeahhh it's fuckin' expensive!!
