Travelling Kansai - Japan

After I got such an expensive camera on my hand, and spent a month reading books and browsing the net about DSLR photography, the next thing that came to my mind was to travel and test what I have gathered about photography so far.














So I grabbed the promotion from JAL and went to Japan... again. Even though I just went there a few months ago.

This time around though, I did not purchased the JR Pass, instead I made an itinerary with 3 days Kansai Thru Pass which is much cheaper compared to JR Pass, but it was limited to Kansai region only. Detailed (my personal opinion: way too..... detailed) map can be downloaded from here.













Well, I did not really see Kansai back in August anyway and I was able to stay for 9 days in Japan this time with even less cost compare to my previous 7 days Japan trip.

If you want my detailed itinerary, you can download it from here. Let me know if you need the excel file.













In those 10 days, I visited Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Arima, with most days I spent soaking in onsen around Kyoto area.
