However when we first arrived in Osaka, it was raining earlier on. It was so damn cold and I thought I'm dead cause I didn't bring enough winter clothings. Can you believe that I had to use heat pack? The temperature suddenly dropped to 10 degree/9 degree and we were freezing while walking without an umbrella. The immigration checkpoint got delayed for an hour (there's so many koreans and china tourists!) and we had to check 1) for our temperature 2) for the photo ID verification 3) stamp the passport. We also collected our JR passes from the counter and it is extremely important to purchase it before you come Japan.

The entire trip we saved approximately $300 to $400 as most of the trips were planned with travelling only JR subway in mind. Travelling to Tokyo one way would cost $140 and it's so expensive. I would think that travelling from Tokyo/Osaka to Hokaido using JR would be the best deal - as that trip alone would cost $300 per way. Furthermore Klook was giving discount rebate during that period so do check out their deals from time to time.

First stop - Wakayama 
This place is so amazing but there's such a sad story behind it. I was googling about The Cove and found out that the dolphin killing spree do happen annually at the region. Fisherman will usually trap the dolphins in big nets to swim into big dark cave and kill them next morning when they are likely to be aggressive. It hurts to watch the blue ocean turn into red, and even sadder that I'm there :( But that place is amazing! Beautiful sea, fresh seafood and to watch exotic sea animals. My friend Ron droved there from Osaka and our first stop, the sushi restaurant lool.
The restaurant owner had a good experience of 10 - 20 years? He's really good with handling the killing of pufferfish. Initially we thought that he kept the pufferfish in the tank as a pet but shit hit the fan when he threw the pufferfish on the floor and began to hold his chopper fuggg LOL
The sushi platter! It was really fresh and some of the fish tasted damn raw - wasn't really suitable to my taste hehe so I ate more of the tempura and was sad that I didn't eat salmon :( In Japan, their salmon are in dark red colour and I don't think I tasted it sobs.
Sian. Watching this gave me so much pain. My mom still took a video of the pufferfish's beating heartbeat I'm like wtf mom pls.

I can sit here forever and watch the waves.

Such beauty!

Trekked up the steps for a magnificent view of the temple with the waterfall at the background! In Japan, there's sooo many shrines and temple. Thank god I brought proper wearing shoes else I'll be so  dead. The climb took us around 30 minutes to get up.
I love bamboo shoots! I can watch em all day too.

Every night also go don don don don boki and don don bori. HAHA OK i'll make more effort to post my continued adventure in Japan! Thanks for reading :)
