#japantrip Where did you go to escape the summer heat in Beijing?! The greenery that catches the eye at Kyoto's Yusai Pavilion allows you to experience the beauty and tranquility in Kawabata Yasunari's eyes. The air is also very fresh, only 700 meters away from the Lanshan Ferry Moon Bridge. Keep walking along the Yellow River bank of the Yunwu Mountain Ferry Moon Bridge. The red leaves in the autumn sky are the best season here, but this is a super recommendation for summer. Here, you can also enjoy the dyeing writer Yutaka Okuda's invention called "Dreamy Yellow Dyeing". Lanshan suggests a travel route: drive from a shrine, a bamboo forest path, a Tianlong Temple, a wild palace, and directly search for "Lanshan Youzhai Pavilion" (pre agreed).

Let me share with you my favourite day in Japan is when I wore a Traditional Kimono for the first time! The photos may not all be perfect; some might even be hilariously awkward. However, each one holds significant sentimental value for me. It was a full day of walking around in our kimonos. We started at the Kimono Rental place call 着物レンタル 蓮-REN in the morning for the fitting. Our package includes hairstyling and a full day rental kimono set (up till evening), which cost us around 6000 yen which is a pretty reasonable price, I must say. We didn't want to let our lovely hairstyles go to waste. If it weren't for the encouragement of my travel-mate, I probably wouldn't have ventured out on trains and explored different places in my kimono, struggling with those traditional Japanese slippers but it was definitely worthwhile. Haha! If you like exploring beautiful places for insta-worthy shot, go to this stretch of road near Zojoji Temple, where we took photos with Tokyo Tower in the background. If you're interested, feel free to look it up on Google maps. P.S. Be ready to be a Kimono mascot when you’re there, took so many pictures with random tourist requesting us to be in their photos. #fyp #kimino #zojojitemple #sensojitemple #sensoji #zojoji #japantemple #tokyo #tokyojapan #japanmustgo #asakusa #asakusakimono #japankimono #kimonojapan #visitjapan #onedayiwillgojapan #travelvlog #travelvlogger

#springitinerary Meioji Main Hall is one of those places that feels kind of hidden, but once you're there, it's got this super calm energy that just hits different. It’s not one of those huge, flashy temples, more like a quiet, peaceful spot where you can take a deep breath and slow down for a bit. The building itself is really pretty in a simple way, with clean lines and that classic wooden temple look. The whole place has a really relaxing vibe, especially if you visit early in the morning or when it’s quiet. It’s the kind of spot where you don’t feel rushed. just walk around slowly, maybe sit for a while, and enjoy the quiet. There’s something really grounding about it. You probably won’t run into a ton of people, which makes it feel even more special. If you're in the mood for something mellow and peaceful, Meioji is a solid choice.

As a loyal fan of Kawabata Yasunari, Osaka is definitely a pilgrimage site worth visiting again and again! The Yasunari Kawabata Literary Museum in Ibaraki City has been established for 40 years. Although small, it is extremely exquisite. It’s World Book Day, so this is the best time to read it again✨ The Literary Museum houses countless precious manuscripts and life stories. Compared with 2019, an exquisite model of Kawabata Yasunari's ancestral home has been added, but unfortunately it is impossible to take photos to record it. However, the replica of Kamakura's former residence study in the museum is open to visitors. Not only can you experience the literary giant's creative environment up close, but you can also sit down and imitate his writing style. The calendar on the desk is fixed on April 16. Readers who are familiar with his story will surely be shocked when they see this scene... There is a "Making Friends Through Literature" monument in the high school near the Literature Museum. This is an important landmark that Kawabata Yasunari personally attended the inauguration ceremony! In addition, Osaka Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine also hides traces of him - the monument engraved with "Anti-Bridge" is an important scene mentioned in his works. If you also love the subtlety and romance of Kawabata Yasunari's writings, you might as well visit these little-known literary sanctuaries and feel the soul temperature of a generation of literary masters in the space and time where paper and reality are intertwined🌿 #Osaka Itinerary

#Osaka Attractions Early in the morning, I came to the Church of Light in Ibaraki City, Osaka. This building, designed by the architect Tadao Ando, ​​is famous for its minimalist style and use of light and shadow. After entering the church, one is greeted by an extreme tranquility. The exposed concrete walls and the natural light in the room blend together to create an indescribable sense of sacredness. In particular, the cross outlined by light on the front wall is simple yet powerful and deeply touching. In the afternoon, I sat quietly in the church, feeling the flow of light and shadow in the space, and my mind became clear and pure.

Happy and very excited!!
