Japan Trip Day 2: Asakusa Sensoji Temple > Tokyo Skytree

Second day in Japan 

Getting started with the schedule that I planned initially

Many of you might wonder ,

seriously ??

two places in one day only ??

YES , to me YES,

because this was my first time travel in Japan

and I was totally zero knowledge on their metro train line.

Reminder: remember to spare some time to understand how the metro line run

or else you will stay inside the station and figuring out how for ages. 

The first station we go will be ASAKUSA TEMPLE

the one of the famous tourist temple spot in Tokyo

Here's the way to reach Asakusa :

• Take Toei Shinjuku to BakuroYokoyama, walk to Higashi Nihonbashi station (3 min) and take the Toei Asakusa line to Asakusa. (19 minutes) cost  260 yen
• 
  
•  Take Chuo Line to Kanda and transfer to the Ginza Line ( 26 minutes ) cost 320 yen.

Note that : Ginza Line is closer to Sensoji than the Asakusa Station of the Toei Asakusa Line

I took the first option to reach Asakusa as it take much lesser time to reach.

Here is the first travel picture I took in Japan once I stepped out from the station

The Sensoji Temple is quite near to the station

Along the road to the Sensoji Temple, just follow the crowd as they were going to the same destination like you. 

The door with this big lattern is a tourist spot too

many people will stop by and take picture with their significant lattern. 

Before reaching the Sensoji Temple, 

you will pass through a street with full of food and souvenirs for us to buy.

Oh yes , remember to check the weather forecast everyday in Japan

as their forecast is quite accurate

we knew that that day will be a raining day so we brought umbrella along with us

Umbrella cost 750yen which is quite expensive for us and we bought 2 umbrellas.

You will see this library when you going to reach the Sensoji Temple

and it was not open for public

so let's move on heading to the temple. 

Bought this fried custard to have a try

I don't think it taste nice at all

but everyone is queuing for it, I don't know why....

Before you enter the temple

remember to wash your hand at here,

There will be a guidance direction for you on the steps of washing your hands. 

Wash your left hand first and then right hand and at last rinse with your mouth

everyone is doing the same thing

so you just follow them as well. LOL

Finally, we reached the Sensoji Temple !

you will find that this box always appeared in every Japan's temple

They used to make a wish with a coin and after finish wishing

they will throw the coin into the box

Their Japan God

It started to rain after we finish our visit to Sensoji Temple

the rain was quite heavy and I don't know why I was so stupid that I choose to walk to the Tokyo Skytree. 

Even though if we take the metro train, it was just next station after Asakusa station

so we thought it was quite near especially I read that they walked to the tokyo skytree too from a trip blogger

so end up, I thougth it was near. 

But pleaseeee, take the metro train, it was not near at all and that day was raining heavily 

we walked around 8 minutes to reach the tokyo skytree in such freezing and wet weather.

so torturing you know.

The Tokyo Skytree

There were many food to choose with inside the Tokyo Skytree

I did not plan to buy ticket to view the city from the Tokyo Skytree initially

and somemore that day was raining, 

it was not worth to see the view without clear view

so end up we just shop around inside the mall

and there are variety of food for you to choose with. 

I ordered Ipuddo Ramen from the food court which cost around 980yen

I still prefer Malaysia Ramen, it taste much nicer than Japan one.

Japan Ramen taste much lighter flavouring than Malaysia one

and you know Malaysian has heavier taste bud than others. 

Dont forget to buy Tokyo Banana inside the mall,

there is a tokyo banana shop which selling the sponge cake in variety flavour

remember to shop their supermarket,

there were many things for you to explore inside the supermarket 

as their strawberry taste super sweet ! Must try

and don't forget to try their greentea ice cream

You will see a lot of Japanese is having ice cream

and you will know how nice it taste like !


We had our dinner while on the way back to our homestay

YES
Ramen again
My mom ordered Yassai Ramen
which is full of vegetables one

I ordered the normal one but I passed the meat to my mom

This 2 bowls of ramen cost us around 1700 yen
As the restaurant is not ordered by vending machine
so their food will be much more expensive compare to self service those.

We passed by a snack shops that sell variety of snacks while we
were on the way back home so we stopped by and started to shop for snack even though
it just the second day we were in Tokyo LOL

Stay tuned for my next post. 

Japan Trip Day 1: Haneda Airport > Okubo Homestay

Hi to my readers,

I have been disappeared for a certain period as I was busy with my Anmyna sales

But somehow, I still managed to post my Japan trip articles as my memory still fresh now

I better post it now or else I might forget the information to share with you guys when you going to Japan.

This time I went to Japan with my mother and this was the first time I went trip with her sololy 

Thats why it was kinda big challenge for me as I used to be a hand free princess while I was travelling

and this time all the lugggages I have to carry myself and no longer depends to others else.

I focus my Japan trip more on Tokyo this time as the period to travel is short so I think better play in Tokyo is much enough. 

My OOTD wear for the first day when boarding to the plane.

It was a 7 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Haneda Airport (Japan)

It used up my whole day to sit on the plane by reaching there,

Here are the reminder for you,

If you want to travel to Japan, make sure you DON'T INCLUDE the go and return days 

as these 2 days consume your whole day and you can't do anything with it.

The flight I bought was one year ago during the cheap fares period

so my flight ticket cost RM908 including check in luggages. 

Many people told me that my flight ticket is soooooo cheap

But is AIRASIA ! 

For 7 hours flight, you can choose to pay higher a bit to sit on a more comfortable plane, trust me, you will be more comfortable and more enjoyable. 

Once I reached Haneda Airport, the temperature that day was 8 celcius degree and it was raining !

The weather was freezing cold and you must prepare all winter wear on your hand carry bag else you gonna freezed !

After taking our baggages, we went to look for KEIO LINE, a train station line which heading to the Shinagawa Station and transfer train to Shinjuku city centre. 

When you reached Keio Line Station in the airport, there will be a staff standing there and guide you on how to buy a Pasmo Card.

Pasmo Card is a must in Japan, it is so convenient that every train line can be used and even bus also can be used. Even shopping, you can use it to scan too !

We have loaded 5000 yen into the card and went into the Keio Line train

This was the first time I went into a Japan Train

and I saw all the Japanese people was so cool that they don't even look up to see the surroundings but keep playing with their phones. 

 Let me simplified the train station line:
Haneda Airport Keio Line > Shinagawan  

Step out from the train at Shinagawan station and walk to the opposite to wait for the train from:
Shinagawan > Shinjuku 

Our home stay was situated at Okubo area which is next to Shinjuku station, 

It is super convenient as Shinjuku is the main station for transfering to many train lines. 

The most important is the homestay situated 3 mins walking distance away from the Okubo Station, Super near right.

Our 5 nights stay cost : RM1700 including cleaning and service fees and booking through airbnb

Check here if you are interested: 

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1693593

The kitchen equipments are sufficient and the fridge is large enough.

There is steam facility in the bathroom

so we never feel cold at all when we taking out bath. 

Trust me, you will never open the TV as you dont even understand what they are talking about.

Their air-conditioner do allowed to open to 28 celcius degree

and I can wear my short pant to sleep during the 5 nights for the whole trip. =D

 Since we reached here was kinda late night,

so we walked in to nearby 24 hours restaurant to have a simple dinner

as I didnt take any meal since the 7 hours flight except 2 breads.

I was starving like hell and thank god the restaurant save my life.

 This was the first time we use vending machine to order food

and you know their vending machine did provide English version for us

So glad that we ordered succesfully for the first time using vending machine. haha

Their food is super nice  !

Pure Tofu Soup 

Kimchi Rice Set with Miso Soup 

Our dinner cost 900 yen for 2 person

It is consider super cheap already compare to others restaurant

You will know more soon.

Thats all for the first day in Japan

and more posts to upload 

Please stay tuned guys

SETAPAK素食：AIR PANAS巴刹对面

很感恩我的学生妈咪载我来热水湖巴刹对面的建筑里面吃素

让我有机会品尝到那么好吃的罗伊面

超棒的！

汤底很足味道，给的料很足够

我这种嘴巴那么挑的人都说好吃，

你说呢？？？

这个葡式奶油鲍鱼菇也很不错

适合当小食来吃

可是鲍鱼菇不脆所以少了那个可口感耶

由于那个环境是大排档那种的摆设档口，

所以他们的价钱是跟大排档的价钱一样哦

都非常公道和经济

这间素食档口每逢星期四是没有开门的哦

所以刚好有一次我星期四去到那里结果没开，

但没关系，那间素食档口的隔壁也是素食档口耶

他们专门卖素食杂饭和一些餐点

那天，我点了素食虾面

味道跟一般的素食卖的虾面都差不多一样的味道

不错吃哦

但少了味道的独特

还是罗伊面吸引我比较强耶！

如果你们初一十五有吃素的

不妨去到热水湖巴刹对面的建筑里面吃哦！

Singapore: Marina Bay Sands Suite 3 days 2 nights

The day I went to Singapore was on October 

Thanks to my friend who purposely woke up and sent me to the airport early in the morning

I guess was around 4am that time. 

And of course this was the second time I fly alone again
I started to learn how to fly alone after my ex left me
and his leaving force me to be more independent and no longer rely to him anymore
Thanks to him that he taught me a great lesson.

Back to the topic,
Singapore is a developed country so everything in here is super convenient
From airport to Marina was super easy to reach
You just need to take MRT from airport straight to Marina will do.
and here I was.

Their significant SUPER TREE which collect sunshines to generate power for the gardens by the bay

I was quite impressed by their development of these super trees

Since I reached Singapore was 8am in the morning,

and was quite early to reach Marina Bay Sands

The time was not available to check in yet,

so I pay a visit to the Gardens by the bay nearby.

To know more about Gardens by the Bay blog post, please click the following link:
http://osakajoan.blogspot.my/2016/11/singapore-2016-gardens-by-bay.html

I guessed I was quite lucky that day

The check in system to the hotel delayed and end up they provided an upgrade for me

From Premier Room upgraded to Suite 

Super lucky right?

I always lucky to get a free upgrade on my room whenever I travelled

I still remember last few years I got upgraded to the largest room and the most expensive room 

in Taiwan theme hotel, and yes, super excited !

Same to this, I was happy too. 

Always love to see the existence of bathtub inside the hotel room. 

Meeting session ??

or dinner session??

It is big , super big, I would never ever forget the day I was here.

I was so lucky to stay here. Thank god.

The garden view from the balcony of my room. 

Their significant crowded infinity pool 

Wine session ?

Coffee and tea time too ?

My dinner for the first day was taken in the food court of  Marina Bay shopping centre

and this simple vegetable set cost SGD9.50 

is equal to RM30 when convert to Malaysia price. LOL

Enjoy the full facility in the hotel is much more relax than hanging around for the first day in Singapore. Thats how my first day spent at here. 

Came to LADY M ORCHARD CENTRAL to try their mille crepe cake

This cafe was recommended by my insta friend 

I came here alone by using the google map apps

Every shops and cafe in Singapore mostly open at 11am

so I was the second customer in this cafe

but before I left this cafe, there was a lot of customers enjoying their tea time already

I guessed I came in too early XD

My so called early tea time. 

and their best seller mille crepe.

Late noon, I came across at one of the restaurant to have my brunch. 

Since their set lunch is much more cheaper

so I picked the set lunch which suitable for vegetarian like me

I love this so much

Pumpkin Soup

Creamy Mushroom Pasta

When I back to my hotel room,

I was pleased to saw the little elephant with a rose and a card

mentioning that who was incharge to clean the room that day. 

This had made my day. 

Had a hot bathtub session before I rushed to Somerset to take number for my dinner. 

I thinked I was too late to reach to HAI DI LAO Steamboat 

end up I have to wait for an hour to reach my turn.

Since the small pot table was queue faster than the big pot one

so I picked the small pot one and yes, it taste so nice !

The soup did provide mushroom soup which is suitable for vegetarian 

and the menu was available for vegetarian too !

So don't worry about the food, just worry about the queue please..

This restaurant always crazy in queing part, so this was the first time I experienced it. 

and yes, definitely will come again as I love it so so much hahaha

I remember the bill I paid was SGD50 per pax

so convert to malaysia ringgit will be RM150

I just had one day of swimming session in Marina as it was always full of people

ALWAYS

and I just go there for taking picture maybe ???

Thank god I came here early in the morning so that I can able to get a chair nearby the pool

Thank god.

I think I should not missed the part to enjoy my breakfast buffet in Marina 

So I chose to spent SGD48 per pax to get a entry to the breakfast buffet by having the pool view 

at the level of 57 in Marina Bay Sands Inifinity Pool here. teehee.

I always love to have breakfast buffet as you can eat whatever you want

and how many you want,

I love my breakfast so so much ! especially the egg benedict !

That's the great breakfast ever I had in Singapore at the level of 57 in Marina

I guessed I would come back again one day

That's how my 3 days 2 nights spent in Singapore

I hope my post did not bored you down. 

xoxo.
