京都大阪遊❥Kyoto&Osaka Trip @ Ellie Everywhere

[From Kyoto to Osaka從京都到大阪]
Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine wraps up my trip in Kyoto.
This shrine was definitely on my bucket list. I have seen it in so many people's FB or IG pages or in dramas, so I was looking forward to visiting this shrine.
We left our luggage in the lockers at Kyoto Station. I can't remember how many hours I paid for, probably three hours or so, and it was $700yen.
We then took the subway to go to Fushimi Inari-tasiha. You don't need an admission fee to get in~
You can see a huge red archway upon our arrival. As your make your way into the shrine, you will see red more wooden archways right after one and other as if you were in a maze.
There are black words carved into these wooden archway, and they have addresses, years or names listed on these.
It is such a magical feeling to be walking in these red wooden archway.
You can rent kimonos to take pictures in the shrine. Amy and I didn't do it as we found it as such a hassle to change. If you would like to rent kimonos, make sure you make reservation online and go early first to pick out your favourite kimonos before all the good ones are taken.
There is also a hiking trail that Amy and I saw, but we did not go as we were on a tight schedule to head over to Osaka later in the afternoon.
We headed back to Kyoto station to get our luggage, and bought a train ticket for Osaka bound for $700yen. The train ride was about an hour and 20 minutes to from Kyoto to Osaka.
稻荷大社是我們在京都的最後一站
我從很久以前就很想要去這個神社了. 從超多人的FB和IG上還有連續劇上就看過了, 所以去之前我抱著超級大的期盼去目睹這的神社
我們把我們的行李留在京都車站的置物櫃裡. 我忘了我付了多久, 應該是差不多三個小時左右, 是七百日幣
放完行李後我們就搭電車出發去稻荷大社啦進去不需要付門票錢~
一到後就可以看到一個非常大的紅色拱門. 越往神社的內處走就會看到很多紅色木頭拱門緊密的連在一起, 好像在迷宮裡一樣
這些紅色木頭拱門上都有刻上黑色的字, 有些有住址, 日期或名字. 別有一番風味~
我們有看到很多女孩兒們有租合服在拍照. 我跟Amy沒有租因為我們覺得要換來換去太麻煩了. 如果你有興趣想租合服, 記得要先在網路上訂好然後早一點去挑自己喜歡的花色. 太晚可能好料就被挑走囉
在神社裡還看到了可以爬山的地方, 但是由於我們時間緊湊要趕去大阪, 我們就沒有去爬山了
離開神社前我買了一些平安符可以送給朋友, 之後我們就搭電車回到京都車站去拿我們的行李, 然後我們就花了七百日幣買了從京都去大阪的車票. 車程從京都到大阪是差不多一個小時又二十分鐘

[Touring in Osaka大阪遊]
We bought a special pass at the Osaka subway station for $2550yen which includes a subway pass for a whole day and a day pass for Osaka aquarium.
We were already planning on going to the aquarium, and we saw this special pass ad randomly inside the subway station. I think it was some sort of anniversary of the aquarium.
I like the architecture of the aquarium, but I would not recomment to go inside as it was pretty boring for me lol
Nothing special to see, and there was no show either. The only highlight would be you could touch the live stingray and starfish
我們在車站裡面花了兩千五日幣買了一個包含大阪水族館門票和大阪地鐵當日遊的套票.
這是我們莫名其妙在車站裡剛好看到有廣告好像是在慶祝水族館開館的優惠, 而且我們本來就計畫要去水族館, 所以我們就買了
我很喜歡水族館的外觀和建築, 但我不推薦花錢買票進去參觀因為裡面真的滿無聊的哈哈
沒有什麼特別可以看的, 而且也沒有表演可以看. 唯一一個比較特別的是可以摸魔鬼魚和海星

We took the subway for around 40 minutes from the aquarium to the famous Osaka Castle.
The castle itself is located in the middle of a plot of land with structures like gates and shrines on the castle ground; it was quite a walk to get to the castle.
The castle was smaller than what I imagined. It is about eight stories high.
There are ice cream and takoyaki food trucks around the castle. I can imagine during sakura season will be a good time to visit the castle while having sitting around the castle to enjoy the view~
Amy didn't wanna go up to the castle, so I went up alone.
You need to purchase a ticket to get in, but I can't remember how much admission ticket was, haha.
There is a long line up for elevator so I took the stairs as it was not that high.
There are exhibition of the history of Osaka Castle throughout the floors, and at the very top you can see the Osaka view.
我們搭了差不多四十分鐘的電車從水族館到天守閣
城堡周圍像是一個大公園, 有很多小的神社和不同的拱門圍繞著城堡; 穿越這些才走的到城堡
天守閣本身沒有很高大, 比我想像中小的很多, 才差不多八樓高
城堡周圍有賣冰淇淋還有一些小吃. 我可以想像在櫻花季時來這裡賞櫻風景一定美不勝收~
Amy不想進去天守閣裡, 所以我就自己進去. 需要買門票才可以進入, 但我忘了門票多少錢了哈哈
想搭電梯上去的話有個很長的隊伍. 反正沒有很高我又不想排隊, 我就走樓梯上去
每個樓層都有展覽, 介紹一些天守閣的歷史和文物, 在最高層樓可以看到大阪的風景

After our visit of Osaka Castle, we went to the famous Osaka tourist destination - Dotonbori district.
It's a great place for shopping and there are a lot of restaurants in this district, and of course there is the famous Glico man lol
I really don't know what the big deal with the Glico man but since everyone was talking about it, I snapped some pictures haha
I like this busy district, and during night time, the neon lights in this district really catches people's attention, feels like Time Square in NYC.
離開了天守閣以後, 我們就前往大阪很受觀光客歡迎的地區 - 道頓堀
這地區就像是台北西門町一樣, 非常的熱鬧很好逛, 而且有玲瑯滿目的餐廳, 重點是有Glico man
其實我真的不知道Glico man位什麼那麼紅, 不過我還是不免俗的跟其他觀光客一樣有照了幾張照片哈哈
我還滿喜歡這地區的, 晚上五光十色的霓虹燈很引人注目, 感覺跟紐約時代廣場有雷同

[Osaka Food大阪美食篇]
Hmmmm... Yes, I always include food in my posts, haha.
For Osaka, I would like to introduce the famous ramen restaurant - Ten Ti Jin~~~~~!!
We had this as dinner on our first night in Osaka, and this ramen place is very close to the Airbnb where Amy and I were staying, and it was soooooo delious, so Amy and I came back again on our last night in Osaka.
I had ramen the first time, and I had the chasuu rice on the last night. Both super yummy!! I am almost drooling as I'm typing this post as I could still feel like I remembered the taste in my mouth lol
Highly recommended~!
The store itself is quite small, fits about 15 people max. You will purchase from a ticket machine inside the store first(there are pictures on the machine), and you hand your ticket to the server, then they will bring the heaven in a bowl to you.
I had a can of Asahi and chasuu rice for $970yen. Ramen was around $1200yen from what I remember.
嗯...... 是的, 我的文章裡面一定會有食物的介紹哈哈
大阪的美食, 我要來推薦的是有名的拉麵店 - 天地人~~~~~!!
我們在大阪的第一晚就是吃這個. 由於這間店離我跟Amy住的民宿非常的接近, 而且有超級好吃, 所以我跟Amy在大阪的最後一晚又來這裡光顧
第一晚我點的是拉麵, 第二晚我點的是叉燒飯. 兩個都好好吃!! 我在打這篇的時候口水都快流下來了, 彷彿我還記得它在我嘴裡的味道~ 真的超好吃的!! 大大推薦~!
店面很小, 坐不到十五個人. 是先在店裡面的點餐機器先點餐付錢(點餐機上有圖片可以參考), 然後你把票拿給師父, 過幾分鐘後他們就會送上絕美味的食物到你的面前
叉燒飯跟一瓶啤酒是$970日幣, 我印象中拉麵好像是在$1200日幣左右
