Japan always seem to have cool stuff. (Though I'm sure it's not always like that) I wish Murica have cool stuff like Japan. I would also like Murica to have affordable housing.

SAME! The only cute stuff I can find rarely here are some Pusheen stuff, Miffy (mostly baby toys), Molang (seen in 2 toy stores) and Hello Kitty (easiest to find due it being a huge, global brand). Squishmallows have started to find their ways here and while they are cute, they're not kawaii :'DDD (lol idk how else to describe it lol)

My Japanese friend once asked why I keep buying stuff meant for little kids, like Sumikko Gurashi? I said they're cute and we don't have anything like that in Finland. I mean, in Japan even warning signs, authorities' informational signs, company logos, and hospital & veterinary logos are cute!

#I'm not sure if Oyanagi's logo is real or a suggestion #but trust me the logos genuinely look like that in real life #every time I try to find new cute logos and adds and signs when I travel #Japan #ask niu

Japan Day 5! Day trip Nara and Uji from Kyoto

Started our day at Fushimi Inari, and saw all of the red torii gates. It was early and still kind of dark which made it extra cool. Also Anthony is a power walker and I refuse to ask him to slow down so we hella power walked up and down this mountain 😂 but it was very efficient!

Then we took the train on to Nara and feeding the deer! I had so much fun. Too much fun. But there were just so many tiny deers!

After we fed the deer we saw the wordless largest Buddha statue and the temples and monuments in the area

We got curry for lunch and then head in the Uji where we got a fun set of tea. Uji is known for their tea so Anthony also got a bunch of tea to take home (I didn’t because I never make tea)

After we got back to Kyoto we went to a light up temple where they gave us tea and it had these little sweets and mine had a deer on it!! 😍

The light temple was really cool but a bit more religious than anticipated.

We then ended up getting Korean bbq for dinner

Overly long travel diary

I put 2000 more yen on my ic card

Fushimi inari. All of the red gates.

I am torn between my desire to not be an annoying Instagram picture taker and get in everyone’s way, my desire to not annoy my bf with too many pictures, my desire to just be present in the moment and my desire to have all the cute pictures. I try to find a balance and take a couple.

It is really cool to walk through all of the red gates, they feel endless. They all have the same thing in the front but the backs have lots of different writings. As we go up the mountain the forest gets denser and darker and makes it almost ethereal. I like all of the fox statues and the shrine kitties.

I always forget how much of a power hiker my bf is until we start passing all sorts of people. I don’t have a problem keeping up but it does sometimes make me feel like I’m being annoying when I then invietablly stop to take a picture or just meander a bit.

The higher up we go the less people there are which is nice. We stop for breakfast on the way down and eat our 7-11 sandwiches at some benches overlooking the city

Nara

600 yen ice cream card

3 packs of 200 each deer crackers Anthony

4080 yen total for bag shipping Anthony

Then it’s off to Nara and the deer park. We start seeing deer almost as soon as we get there. They are little and have split hooves and many are so very friendly. We buy a pack of deer crackers and go to feed a couple. There is a bit of a swarm right by the cracker stand and some people are getting mobbed. We go further away and pick out a nice looking deer. A lot of them will bow for crackers which is pretty fun. We feed the deer and take pictures and generally take in the chaos. After two packs of 200 yen each cracker packs we continue walking towards one the the temples. There are still deer everywhere. Just like freely wandering the streets jumping over little fences, no fear and no hesitation. It’s extra funny to see them just walking amongst the shrines. They were worshiped in Nara for many many years and killing one of them used to be punishable by death.

We head into the temple. Anthony pays the 600 each yen entrance fee and we go to see the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world. The temple itself is huge and made entirely of wood. There’s also a couple other big statues inside and a 50 to 1 replica of the whole complex which is really cool.

We continue to walk around Nara and see some of the other temples including one that has a couple octagon buildings which is the first time I’ve seen that here. There’s also a five story pagado.

We try to go to the deer house that’s a part of one of the temples but alas it’s closed. We head back to the train station and I stop to get a soft serve ice cream cone decorated like a deer. It has little Pretzle bread antlers and googly eyes and a chocolate nose and is just so cute. We buy one last cracker pack and spend some more time feeding the hordes of deer and making friends. They are happy to be fed, content to be pet but do not want hugs.

We grab lunch in one of the markets at a curry place. A lot of the restaurants in Japan are designed for maximum efficiency. At the counter they have a button to push when you’re ready to order. And then give you your order slip with your food so whenever you’re done you can just take it to the front and pay and leave. Means getting lunch even at a restaurant is very fast. I get the chicken curry. It’s good but has many different vegetables, one of each feels like. I try most of them but give the ones I don’t like to my boyfriend.

On the way to the train I pause to take a picture of one of the manhole covers because it’s engraved with a scene featuring a deer. Some of the ones in the main area are also painted (but too crowded to take a picture). Lots of the manhole covers in Japan have pretty designs. The ones in Osaka had pretty flowers and a lot of them were painted too.

We then take the train to Uji which is known for its tea. My boyfriend picks up a couple of things of tea and then we go to a shop to get cups of tea. We order our flavors of tea and the lady tries very hard to ask exactly which thing we want but we aren’t really sure what’s she’s trying to ask? Some drawings later she ends up satisfied and we end up with their tea set which includes little scones and things and a full tea pot each of the kinds of tea we ordered. We were going for more of a single cup but also pleased with full set. I get a Carmel tea and he gets a melon earl grey. I am already at 29000 steps for the day. I tell my bf I think I’ll hit 40k today but he doesn’t think we have that much walking left.

We head up a couple of switchbacks to an observatory deck just on the edge of the city. It’s crazy to me how quickly you can be in very deep woods in Japan. The trees are so tall and only really have leaves at the very top. We have a snack of Mochi that we got earlier from a famous mochi store in Nara at the top. The red bean paste inside still had bean shapes in it which is a first for me. It’s pretty good but the bean shells weird me out a little.

We then head back to kyoto and then over to ayrishima where we have tickets for a night light up temple. The lighted paths are very beautiful and there’s a path through a bamboo groove which I love. The way lights shine on the bamboo creates a really prettt color. The tickets include a little tea ceremony with a little sweet, a red bean paste filled pastry (mochi?) with a little deer stamped on top. We try to use what we learned about tea ceremony yesterday here.

We continue through the temple and look at the shrines. In the main temple there is a guy giving a lengthy explanation or something in Japanese while shining a flashlight on different elements of the statue inside. We’re starting to realize that this event is much more geared towards Japanese people than tourists. And is maybe more of a ceremony than a come look at pretty lights. We wait with everyone else for him to finish his speech and then quietly work our way back out through the gardens.

We head back to our hotel and pack up our bags. We are going to send them ahead to Tokyo so keep only what we need for our one night in Hakone in our backpacks. It costs 4080 yen to have them sent to our Tokyo hotel.

We then head out to dinner. We wander for a bit before deciding to check out a Japanese version of Korean bbq. We also get a 15 sampler set of sake. I kind of a hit a bit of an overwhelmed moment with all the different food and drink options and how many of them are mostly new and that I only kind of like. But most of it is still delicious.

We think about getting more fish pastries but alas I am too full.

Top lesser-known destinations to travel in autumn 🍁🏯

Another summer come and gone, but the colorful goodbye it bids makes fall the best hello. It’s a time when nature’s beauty blazes, senses come alive, and new adventures feel more possible than ever. Answer autumn’s call by packing your bags for these top destinations where falling leaves and travel dreams await.🐞🍂

Japan in autumn is a sensory masterpiece. As the leaves change to brilliant shades of red and gold, iconic cities like Kyoto and Tokyo transform into picturesque landscapes. Temples and gardens, such as Kiyomizu-dera and Shinjuku Gyoen, become vibrant havens of color. The air is crisp, festivals like Momiji Matsuri celebrate the season, and the beauty of fall foliage reflects in serene lakes and historic shrines. Japan's autumn is a time to savor the delicate balance of tradition, nature, and cultural splendor.

Germany in autumn is a picturesque landscape of vibrant colors and cultural richness. As the leaves turn shades of red, orange, and gold, the country's charming towns, historic castles, and scenic countryside come alive. Cities like Munich and Berlin offer a blend of fall festivals, art exhibitions, and cozy cafés. The Black Forest region is a must-visit, with its dense woodlands and charming villages. Whether strolling through parks, sipping warm mulled wine at markets, or exploring fairy-tale landscapes, Germany's autumn ambiance is a delightful blend of nature and culture.

Georgia (the country) in the Caucasus region is a fantastic choice for a lesser-known destination with stunning fall scenery. The country boasts a diverse landscape with mountains, valleys, and charming villages. During the fall, the foliage turns vibrant shades of red and gold, creating a picturesque setting. Georgia's unique cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality add to the charm of visiting during this season.

For a lesser-known city with breathtaking fall scenery, consider visiting Lviv in Ukraine. This charming city is known for its historic architecture, cobblestone streets, and cozy cafes. During the fall, Lviv's parks and squares come alive with colorful foliage, creating a picturesque atmosphere. The city's unique blend of cultures, rich history, and autumn charm make it a hidden gem for fall travel.

For a lesser-known city with incredible autumn scenery, consider visiting Hallstatt in Austria. Nestled by a pristine lake and surrounded by the Dachstein Alps, Hallstatt's charming architecture and natural beauty create a magical atmosphere during the fall season. The reflections of colorful foliage on the lake's surface add to the enchantment. Hallstatt's serene ambiance and picturesque landscapes make it an ideal destination for experiencing the beauty of autumn in a less crowded setting.

Canada, particularly Quebec, is a masterpiece of autumn beauty. As the leaves transform into a tapestry of vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, the province becomes a captivating wonderland. Quebec City's cobblestone streets and charming architecture take on a magical aura, while the Laurentian Mountains and Mont-Tremblant National Park offer breathtaking vistas. The St. Lawrence River shimmers against a backdrop of fall foliage, and the air carries a crisp, invigorating scent. Exploring Quebec in autumn is an invitation to witness nature's artistry in one of its most stunning displays.

Whether it’s your first fall getaway or your fiftieth, the familiar scents and scenes rekindle that childlike joy we all need sometimes. This list is just a starting point for your own autumn adventures that await. Trust your instincts, go where the falling leaves guide you, and relish every cozy, crunchy, pumpkin-flavored moment. Fall’s fleeting beauty rewards those with open eyes, ears and hearts 🏜️🤎
