Himeji Castle: One of Japan's Pride

Image
A couple of hours of train travel was all worth-it because we already had a sneak peek of  the Himeji Castle from the train station. It is considered to be the most beautiful castle in Japan which without-a-doubt is one of the reasons why it is in the roster of the UNESCO World Heritage .   There was even a banner that welcomed us (I mean, for everyone who will come) there haha! Young students who were promoting an advocacy on something (can't recall what was it for) for their school.   But before we headstarted our trip, we had our lunch in our favorite chain of restaurants -  Gusto located near the Himeji Station.      A closer look of our "looks" before we have our do-it-yourself prenup shoot haha! A couple shirt which I bought from Divisoria and brought them all the way here in Japan + doing my own hairdo and make up for this (good thing, boys don't need to wear any LOL) = so proud of myself haha! :D Before ...

Floral in Spring, why not? ^_^

When you're in Tokyo, it would be a shame if you won't drop by the streets of Shinjuku, which has the world's busiest railway station (Shinjuku Station) . As well as the Tokyo Imperial Palace which is just a few walks away from Shinjuku. And if you're planning for an #ootd in spring, a floral dress like what I wore will never go out of style. ^_^   On the same day, through a subway ride, we (my fiance and I) also visited the Zojo-ji Temple with a peek of the Tokyo Tower .      Indeed, Japan continues to evolve into being one of the most modern and innovative countries in the world but also continues to value and preserve its traditional culture at the same time. And it's one of the many things that I admire this country for.

Let's go to Kyoto!

From the many temples and parks that we can go to in Kyoto, we opted to visit Fushimi Inari Shrine to see the Tunnels of Torii and the Bamboo Groves (Bamboo Path) at Arashiyama .
