Hi guys! I went to Japan in August and shot some footages!
Originally, I had a lot of video ideas in mind but after I met my bestie we had too much fun and completely forgot about filming. So here is a simple Japan travel vlog for you! Feel free to check out my itinerary:)

Day 1
Flight from HK to Osaka

Day 2
Ikoma 生駒(Edge of Nara)
Locations:
1. Hozan-ji Temple (Ikoma Shoten)寶山寺
We did not go up to the temple because my mum hurt her ankle before the trip so she couldn’t walk up the stairs but we wandered around the area
2. Random Cafe: Casa de Té Maharak 摩波楽茶屋

Minor 箕面
Locations:
1. Minoh Falls 箕面大滝

The view was magnificent and the scenry was soooooo giving the Ghibli vibe. It was quite a long walk but definitely worth the effort.
2. Lunch: Mister Donut Minoh Original Shop
Address: 6 Chome-1-30 Minoo, Minoh, Osaka 562-0001, Japan
Umeda
The fact that they actually sell noodle soup in a donut shop?!

Day 4
Osaka
Breakfast: Osaka Kizu Market 大阪木津卸売市場
Address: 2 Chome-2-8 Shikitsuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0012, Japan
It’s way better than Kuromon Ichiba Market! The price is very reasonable. They have a few shops in there so make sure you have a look at all the shops before you buy the seafood.
THE OYSTER WAS AS BIG AS MY FACE NO JOKE.
Wazuka 和束町
Location:
1. 石寺の茶畑 dan dan cafe

Amanohashidate 天橋立
Locations:
1. Lunch: Crab House海鮮工房

Ine 伊根
Locations:
1. Airbnb: Funaoto 伊根海宿 舟音
Address: 610-9 Hirata, Ine, Yoza District, Kyoto 626-0423, Japan
It’s not a boat house but it was a superb stay. The host knows how to speak Japanese, English, Mandarin and Cantonese, very friendly!
We wanted to visit Ine Cafe but we were too late and it closes really early.

Day 6
Ine 伊根
Locations:
1. Ine Fish Market伊根浦漁業
Address: 610-2 Hirata, Ine, Yoza District, Kyoto 626-0424, Japan
It was right next to Funaoto, so even though we had to wake up at 6 in order to see the fish being offloaded, it was definitely worth a visit
2. Breakfast: Funaya Shokudo 舟屋食堂
address: 491 Hirata, Ine, Yoza District, Kyoto 626-0423, Japan
It’s on the second floor of the Ine Information Centre
