Photohunt: Bridge(s)
Posted on February 7, 2009 - Filed Under Photohunt, Sightseeing in Japan, Simply Osaka | 13 Comments
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo hunt entry! I’ve been very busy these past few weeks that I didn’t have much time browsing through my photos.
Fortunately, I have lots of photos of bridges so I get to join today. Osaka has many rivers, thus, it has lots of bridges, too. […]
Universal Studios Japan

The Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is just a few stations away from where I live. I’ve lived in Osaka for more than 2 years and I haven’t been there. Finally, last Sunday, Kay and I took advantage of the one-year pass promo at USJ. USJ usually put the one-year pass on […]

Biwa-ko or Lake Biwa is the largest lake in Japan, and Omimaiko is one of places surrounding the lake. Together with some friends, I had the chance of having an overnight stay there. But, we didn’t go there for sightseeing. Anyway, it took us about an hour from Osaka to the Omimaiko […]

I’m late posting my photo hunt entry! I hope I haven’t posted these yet as photo hunt entries. These are 2007 spring pictures of Kyoto - my favorite place in Japan, and I think the most beautiful, too!
Happy photo hunting!

These are just short spans of the very LONG hiking trail at the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto. This shrine is dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice. The 4km trail is covered with thousands of these orange torii (gateways), offerings made by worshippers - this explains those markings […]

The pictures below show why I fell in love with Seishin-chuo, Kobe (the location of the previous company). I roamed around at lunch break today and took the following pictures. Due to extreme sunlight, some pictures seem to be damaged… I even got a “too much heat” warning from my cellphone! Hope you’ll […]

Summer is really the festival season here in Japan, and this candle lighting at Minoh City is one of them. I think it’s the Festival of the Fire and Drum? Since this festival mainly includes candle lighting, it starts at 7PM and ends exactly at 9PM, starting today. I’m sorry I don’t know until when.

So we just took pictures “within our reach”. ^-^ (2) Kyoto Botanical GardenFor the […]

Inspite of the drizzle, a friend and I went to the Osaka Castle for Sakura viewing. We agreed that the rain might have dispersed the crowd there, and it did. Too bad there’s not much Sakura trees near the castle; too bad the Sakura trees were no longer in full bloom. Nonetheless, our little excursion was […]

I’m so glad we had to work overtime on a Sunday 2 weeks ago. ^0^ Why? Because we were given a free day! So, Idel, Kagz, and I spent it Sakura hunting in Kyoto yesterday.
Here are the spots we visited:
1. Philospher’s TrailIt’s a path lined with hundreds of cherry trees beside a canal near Ginkakuji. […]
