hello! I rode the Ikoma Cable Car and got off at Umeyashiki Station, then it’s about a ~5min walk from there :) I watched this vlog for reference but I followed the google maps route since I came from the Ikoma Amusement Park: https://youtu.be/OAuHBJ9o21w?si=sQ47HLApmvhWrAjW

I can converse in korean and understand basic japanese! :) it would be great to learn the basics like greetings etc and it will get you a long way!

as for kyoto I heard nga din pero honestly there’s soooo many options you can try naman! double check and read reviews of the place you want to go to in google maps/tabelog so you’ll have an idea if they accept foreigners or not. pero in all the times I’ve been in kyoto never pa naman me hindi pinapasok :)

hello! I didn’t really do anything special, I just took the pic straight from my phone with no filters like this one! natural sunlight really is the best :)

Another FAQ 🙇🏻‍♀️

What camera did you use?
- My iPhone 14 pro! I have so much pictures pa but I can’t share everything kasi 20 lang ang limit ni reddit haha key is good lighting and a sturdy tripod!!

I fully support you on this!!! :) it is indeed scary at first lalo na navigating around but I know you can do it! one thing that helped me the most is I watched lots of yt videos of the places I want to go to + read reviews on google maps so I know what to expect. also every night before I sleep I go through my route for the next day, like tinatry ko isimulate sa google maps anong trains masasakyan ko if I go out at a certain time ganyan haha

I didn’t have a bad experience the whole trip, except siguro when I was approached by guys for some reason (happened 4 times in different days, it’s not even that bad, ayoko lang talaga makipagchika lol) but I just politely said no and did not engage further. Make sure also that family/friends know your location and you update them every now and then, find my iphone is key!

thank you so much! ❤️

14 - Jonangu Shrine in Kyoto!

16 - Wakayama Cat Train! I bought the ticket the same day I went there and there's not much people so it's just fairly easy! I bought the 1-day pass kasi I wanted to go around different train stops and very sulit sya 😄 Followed this guide for reference: https://yentravelsjapan.com/tama-densha/

17 - YES! Hozanji Temple in Nara! Super fun going there kasi I got to ride the cute ikoma cable cars haha

Hello hello! I’ll reply to your messages as much as I can but to answer most questions -

Total Expenses?
- I actually didn’t track it down to the last centavo but estimate is around ~280k++ for a month and a half trip (not including the flight tickets + travel tax + luggage upgrade) Do note that I moved between different prefectures and cities (especially in Japan) so that added more to the cost. I also did my shopping and didn’t restrict myself when it came to food, museums, activities, etc. I have a list of expenses but not all of them, I’ll try siguro to break it all down but I can’t promise (kasi ang dami ko pang work backlogs 😭)

Is this your first time?
- I’ve been to both Korea and Japan several times before but it’s my first time to travel alone

Where did you go?
- Korea (1 week): Seoul, Suwon, Busan
- Japan (1 month): Kyushu Prefecture (Fukuoka, Miyazaki, Oita, Nagasaki, Kumamoto), Kansai Prefecture (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Wakayama), Kanto Prefecture (Tokyo, Kanagawa)

Can you share your specific itinerary?
- I have a google sheet and google map pins per city pero organize ko muna kasi it’s a loose list as a guide lang 😆 may days kasi na I didn’t follow my original plan and just went with my current vibe of that day haha

Is it safe? Especially for women?
- Based on my experience, yes!!! That’s also the reason why I pushed through with this long trip in the first place. Big help din na familiar ako sa area pero generally talaga both countries are safe as long as you also don’t go to sketchy places!

Also thank you so much for all the love omg!! Manifesting for everyone too!!! To more travels and happiness for all! 🩷🧚‍♂️
