Today’s main objective is to visit Kaiyukan as we didn’t manage to enter the other day due to a long snaking queue. Apart from that, we also travelled for photo ops at a couple of iconic Osaka’s spots.

Shoraian - Tofu Kaiseki restaurant with a scenic view of Arashiyama

Tofu is one of Kyoto’s specialities, and when I heard there is a traditional Kaiseki restaurant famous for Tofu cuisine, that definitely piqued our interest.

Shiroebitei - Famous White Shrimp of Toyama Bay

One of the must-try food and local delicacy in Toyama, which is the Shiro Ebi (White Shrimp) aka “the jewel of Toyama Bay”. Of course, we have to try it since our train ride ends at Toyama Station after concluding our tiring but a fulfilling day trip to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.

Shinshu Soba no Kusabue - Decent choice for Soba in Nagano JR Station

First meal of my first ever Japan trip! Although this wasn’t my first choice for Shinshu Soba, I chose to dine here because my first choice (Bocchi) was close on that day. Too hungry and tired (flight from Singapore to Tokyo and then shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano), so my second choice will be more than good enough!
