Sejak pandemi, karena hanya di rumah saja banyak sekali orang-orang yang tiba-tiba menjadi fans drakor ataupun idol Korea dan tentunya jadi ingin ke Korea Selatan saat sudah memungkinkan, dan inilah saatnya! Untuk berwisata ke Korea Selatan, orang Indonesia harus mengajukan visa, dan dulu saya sudah pernah share juga <a href="https://niyaoke.blogspot.com/2016/04/south-korea-trip-2016-preparation-and.html">syarat-syarat bikin visa Korea Selatan</a>, tapi sekarang ada beberapa perubahan yang akan saya share di post ini.</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p>Jadi beberapa waktu lalu saya baru mengajukan Visa Korea Selatan, dan kalau dari website resminya, berikut dokumen-dokumen yang dibutuhkan untuk pengajuan visa turis wisata umum yaitu:</p><p>1. Paspor asli (kalau masih kosong seperti saya yang baru ganti paspor, sertakan juga paspor lama yang sudah ada cap / visa)</p><p>2. Pasfoto (3,5 cm x 4,5 cm)</p><p>3. Formulir pendaftaran aplikasi visa (bisa <a href="http://www.visaforkorea-in.com/Ba/Visa_Sub1.aspx">download di sini</a>)</p><p>4. Sertifikat hubungan keluarga (Fotocopi Kartu Keluarga)</p><p>5. Dokumen pembuktian identitas - kalau karyawan seperti saya, bisa melampirkan surat keterangan dari kantor yang isinya nama perusahaan, alamat, no tel, divisi dan nama orang yang menerbitkan surat dan suratnya menerangkan saya bekerja di perusahaan tersebut, akan pergi dan kembali pada tanggal sesuai tiket. Suratnya dalam bahasa Inggris / Korea.</p><p>6. Fotokopi SPT (jika karyawan seperti saya)</p><p>7. Dokumen asli rekening koran 3 bulan terakhir atas nama pemohon.</p><p>Nah itu syarat-syarat yang diminta, tapi ketika mengajukan ada beberapa dokumen yang sebaiknya ditambahkan juga:</p><p>1. Surat referensi bank yang menyatakan saya sudah lama jadi nasabah bank tersebut untuk mendukung dokumen no. 6, dan untuk rekening koran 3 bulan tersebut saya legalisir setiap lembarnya. Untuk ini saya urus di Bank BCA karena saya nasabah di sana, untuk surat referensi dikenakan IDR 50,000 dan untuk rekening koran dikenakan IDR 2,500 per lembarnya.</p><p>2. Surat tambahan dokumen no.6 jika ada pindah kerja di tahun itu dan SPT yang disertakan dari perusahaan sebelumnya, perusahaan yang sekarang harus mengeluarkan surat yang menyatakan bahwa tidak memberikan SPT karena baru pindah kerja (ini sepertinya case by case, karena teman saya yang baru pindah kerja ada yang diminta tapi ada yang tidak diminta)</p><p>3. Fotokopi KTP</p><p>4. Tiket PP & dokumen transportasi lainnya (misal tiket pesawat domestik jika ada pindah kota).</p><p>5. Dokumen reservasi akomodasi.</p><p>6. Itinerary.</p><p>7. Sertifikat vaksin COVID-19 yang sudah diconvert ke versi internasional.</p><p>8. Surat ijin suami - bagi istri yang pergi tanpa suami (+ materai dan dilengkapi fotokopi KTP suami, fotokopi SPT 1721 suami).</p><p>Untuk pengajuan bisa langsung ke <a href="http://www.visaforkorea-in.com/En/">KVAC</a> di Lotte Shopping Avenue, dan bisa juga di sana minta dibantu dalam pengisian formulir. Untuk harganya bisa dilihat di gambar di bawah ini.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg9dSWKchVy7jp9jcrO8cXudSijjJtRwpmW4vfH3-R4oST5DNT6YOxnjX0kjGF8clbKSDXeRQm6BKsYdTQHVuLDZNcQNmcXShQGCREGK9J3vcqJUu_mK9o-0Q9TNaQrBVWjBH_YF9qbDLVMI6DRCMHF4c97YjgQzjLAxDpyCKGK1xfl3LPA6McPJ1Cy" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1324" data-original-width="2400" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg9dSWKchVy7jp9jcrO8cXudSijjJtRwpmW4vfH3-R4oST5DNT6YOxnjX0kjGF8clbKSDXeRQm6BKsYdTQHVuLDZNcQNmcXShQGCREGK9J3vcqJUu_mK9o-0Q9TNaQrBVWjBH_YF9qbDLVMI6DRCMHF4c97YjgQzjLAxDpyCKGK1xfl3LPA6McPJ1Cy=w640-h354" width="640" /></a></div><br />Atau bisa juga menggunakan jasa tour & travel. Dulu-dulu saya mengajukan langsung ke Kedubes Korsel, tapi kali ini saya pakai jasa tour & travel. Nanti biasanya mereka juga akan mengecek lagi kelengkapan dokumen dan mengabari jika ada dokumen yang kurang.<p></p><p>Berapa lama sebaiknya apply bisa sebelum pergi? Sebaiknya 1 bulan sebelum pergi walau selesainya bisa dalam waktu 1-2 minggu tapi mana tahu kalau tiba-tiba ramai.</p><p>Dan mungkin gak visanya ditolak? Dulu-dulu saya belum pernah ketemu teman yang ditolak visanya, tapi kali ini salah satu orang yang akan pergi bareng ditolak visanya. Alasannya apa? Saya juga bingung, dokumen yang dikumpulkan sama namun disebut dokumen yang menyatakan dan membuktikan maksud kedatangan tidak ada dan tidak ada bukti akan kembali di waktu yang disebutkan.</p><p>Oh iya, kalau dulu visa Korea Selatan berupa stiker dan ditempel di paspor, sekarang berupa printan selembar kertas aja yah dan tidak nempek di paspor. Jadi ada yang mau mengajukan visa Korea Selatan dalam waktu dekat? Semoga lancar yah pengajuannya.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>NiyaOkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08816077666552375716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5325956030875398938.post-36698881233383041932022-01-31T11:11:00.001+07:002022-01-31T11:11:07.184+07:00The New Yogyakarta International Airport Kulon Progo, So Nice Yet So Far<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="357" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3DvsgXrQ2oE" width="492" youtube-src-id="3DvsgXrQ2oE"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been to Yogyakarta many times but this was my first time landing in Yogyakarta International Airport in Kulon Progo.

Don't you guys miss travelling so much? I especially miss travelling when looking at the pictures and writing about it like now. Well one of the highlight of my Hokkaido trip was spending the night at Hakodate. As I mentioned in my previous post, I used JR Hokkaido Pass to ride Super Hokuto Train from Sapporo to Toya, and continued the journey from Toya to Hakodate.</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A long train ride means a lot of food needed. Usually I buy some carbs, desserts, and one sweet beverage.

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We arrived at Hakodate around 3 PM as I remembered, and stepping out from the station, it felt different already.

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Riding the tram was quite convenience though it felt much slower than a train. Our first destination was Hachiman Zaka Slope. We stopped at Jiujigai Tram Station and walked from there. The surrounding areas were overall quiet and peaceful. It was a nice afternoon walk track, and a good exercise also since the road is uphill.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was getting dark and we were getting hungry. And the must try food in Hakodate is not any common Japanese food you know but a burger, yes you read it right. Lucky Pierrot is a burger chain you can only find in Hakodate.

<div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't we all miss travelling, no matter where the destination is? I forgot that I haven't write about the last part of my last Japan autumn trip. The last highlight of my Hokkaido trip was the 1 night visit to Hakodate. On my way to Hakodate, I made a brief stop at Lake Toya, one of the most well known lake in Hokkaido.</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span></span><div style="text-align: center;">Since I bought 3 days Hokkaido Rail Pass, I tried to maximise its usage by visiting Lake Toya. So, at first, I just planned to use it for the Otaru and Hakodate visit, but I didn't feel it worth the pass, so after researching, I decided to put Lake Toya in the itinerary since it is located in between Sapporo and Hakodate.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

You might want to make sure about the bus schedule if you have packed itinerary like me since there's only 1 train every 1-2 hours.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

It's heartbreaking to hear that Japan is now listed on the avoid-travel risk level in connection to the current virus outbreak, with many of the cases happened in the island of Hokkaido. This post is one of my last few posts about Hokkaido, and I wanna share with you about my visit to Otaru.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Otaru is only less than an hour train ride from Sapporo, which makes this city a perfect half day trip destination from Sapporo.</div>

This was where we had our lunch: Naruto Honten. Naruto Honten is a famous fried chicken restaurant in Otaru. From the outside, we thought that there won't be much people inside, but as we entered the place, we could see that it was packed with customers.</div>

And yeah, it was plenty for one person. If you like boneless chicken better, they also have karaage chicken. Well the chicken was not battered or deeply marinated, although it was deep fried, the taste was pretty clean. It was on the salty side, but not that salty. The meat was juicy and tender, and as a true Indonesian, I thought that 'sambal bawang' or 'sambal geprek' would made it taste even better.</div>

After another round of walk, we encountered this interesting non-operating railway called The Temiya Line. This line was in operation until 1985 and used to transport coal and marine goods. The line became a popular tourist attraction in Otaru, where could take some instragammable pictures here.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since I decided to visit Hokkaido on this trip, Furano & Biei has been on the top list of my itinerary. From the first time I looked at the pictures of Farm Tomita and Shikisai No Oka, I was sold. So here goes my day trip to Furano & Biei.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I researched here and there, and I found out that it was quite a hassle to visit most spot on both cities by public transportation, the best option should be taxi or car rental which will cost quite a lot. When I looked up for places to stay around Furano, there wasn't many options either. But since I already made up my mind to visit those places, I tried to look for another option. And this was the best option I could find (you might want to note this): <a href="https://teikan.chuo-bus.co.jp/en/">Hokkaido Chuo Sightseeing Bus</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hokkaido Chuo Bus<span style="font-family: inherit;"> run by reservation to various famous sightseeing spots. They have various courses which might be different for each season. And the good news was, they had the course which included the spots I've been wanting to visit. You could reserve right through the web from the link above, or you could check another travel web like Klook - where I booked the same course for cheaper price because of the ongoing discount code at that time.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The day trip started from the Sapporo Station Bus Terminal, that's why I mentioned that staying nearby the station was one of the best option. I just have to walk for a few minutes to get here and waiting for the departure time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjq3yV3ypKf9hPzNxxk81VMoonOZHyvfLHx7_GFW2SegTLDYv019S1G9phUIOMGie8BHYXInPxJiNVIqlZIh0AiarbkP9W7hSL5X-zKKXXM22Uurfzn11Dp2gTYRX9z_I868wdkN2W7q8/s1600/Furano-Biei-00X.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjq3yV3ypKf9hPzNxxk81VMoonOZHyvfLHx7_GFW2SegTLDYv019S1G9phUIOMGie8BHYXInPxJiNVIqlZIh0AiarbkP9W7hSL5X-zKKXXM22Uurfzn11Dp2gTYRX9z_I868wdkN2W7q8/s640/Furano-Biei-00X.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was mentioned that the departure time was 8.40 AM - and the bus really headed off at 8.40! So, don't even think of being late for a minute cause they'll leave you like that. I love Japanese punctuality!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So the bus was like a regular bus, and you gotta sit at the destined number on your ticket. Each seat got a headphone which you could set to the language of your choice (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English). There was a driver and a Japanese speaking - bus assistant, but you can wear the headphone to listen to the audio guidance system which helped me a lot during the trip. It was really nice to look around the scenery while listening to the interesting story about the places, also several other stories about Hokkaido and its specialties.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So the course I chose was the [O] course which was available until October 14th last year. The highlight of the course was Farm Tomita, Shikisai No Oka and Aoi Ike (Blue Pond). For JPY 7,400 (the price listed on the web), other than the day tour itself, lunch was also provided. Actually this course is best traveled around summer, best time to visit Hokkaido for flowers sightseeing. The turn down of visiting this course on October was the weather. It was rainy and cloudy the whole day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After two hours and a half, we arrived at the first stop, Campana Rokkatei. Rokkatei is a famous confectionery in Hokkaido with over 70 shops all over the island, and Campana Rokkatei in Furano is one of them. This place is located in the middle of a vineyard, and here you could shop for Rokkatei's best product like Marusei Butter Sand or enjoy some desserts with a view. We were only given 20 minutes at this stop, so I didn't do much here. I didn't shop here also, cause you could also find their products in their shops in Sapporo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Campana Rokkatei, we headed to Furano Wine House for lunch, which was already included in the tour package. Though it was cloudy and rainy, we were so thrilled to witness the beautiful rainbow on our way. Way too beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since the lunch is included in the package, there was only one option for all the tour participants. We were served a plate of cheese fondue each, and also rice with beef hamburg. You could also choose between coffee or tea for the beverage. Well, Japan is an Asia country anyway, where you eat your steak with rice, haha! No complain about the lunch, It was quite satisfying and fulfilling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Furano, we headed to Biei - the neighbouring city. Our first stop in Biei Was Shikisai No Oka. Here, you could witness a carpeted-like hill garden, and also dozens of sunflowers. Since the sky was cloudy, the sunflowers looked down to the ground. Well, visiting flower farms on Fall is not the best option anyway, but I didn't regret it.</span></div>

Our last stop that day was Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoi Ike). <span style="font-family: inherit;">Blue Pond is just one of a number of ponds that were artificially born as a by-product of said construction of a dam constructed on Biei River which was intended to prevent the destructive effect of volcanic mudflow when Mount Tokachi erupted in 1988. </span><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The pond displays various hues of blue depending on the season and the weather, and it was a bit greyish and greenish the day I came, maybe because of the gloomy weather.</span></span></div>

So, was the day tour worth it? Yes it was! As I said before, most of the locations were not easily accessed by public transportation, and they were in the middle of nowhere. So I think day tour is the best option to visit these places! Second, well yes, these places are best visited on summer. I might want to visit again if one day I visited Hokkaido on a summer day.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me share my Sapporo food diary with you all. Actually, I'm not really ambitious with food when I'm on a trip. I do look for references but I don't always stick to them. Care to follow my Sapporo food journey? Let's!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The top three food you must try in Sapporo are: Sapporo style miso ramen, soup curry, and jingisukan (grilled mutton). Initially I wanna try all of them, but I gotta miss Jingisukan on this trip. Restaurants those are selling these dishes could be easily found all around the city, especially around Susukino area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There's quite a list for the best miso ramen in Sapporo, and it's impossible to try all of them. So the first one on my Sapporo food diary will be this place.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Located within walking distance from Susukino Station, Ramen Shingen is one of the most mentioned ramen place when you search on 'ramen + sapporo'.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was odd hour when I came to this place so there was no queue at the time. I think most queue happens at popular Japanese because there are only a few seats available at the place. Ramen Shingen catered only 8-10 people at a time, so it won't be strange to have queue at this place around lunch/dinner time.</span><br />

I'm not really familiar with this Sapporo style ramen, the broth got a strong miso hint and was not as thick and savory as my favorite tonkotsu broth, but it was still enjoyable. For the noodle, they used the curly and springy noodle. To my surprise, the egg was fully boiled, for I thought half boiled egg is a must for ramen, but I was wrong. Well anyway, this bowl would be nicer if they use half boiled egg.<br />

Hokkaido baked cheese tart is quite common since there are a few brands those sell this yummy tart in Jakarta, so I need to try this cheese tart from its origin place. From what I found, Kinotoya is one of the most famous brand for this cheese tart, and since I stayed nearby Sapporo Station, I just had to walk for a short distance to get my cheese tarts.<br />

How they grilled the pork was an interesting sight. They use hairdryer instead of a fan. You could order your Butadon with lotsa options: small portion of rice, normal portion of rice with extra meat, small portion of rice with half meat and so on. I ordered Butadon Special (more meat) for JPY 1,210.</div>

Some of the menu came in package, so when we ordered the Fried Rice, it came with Gyoza and Egg Soup as a set. We also ordered a small portion of stir fried Vegetables and Sweet and Sour Pork as extras. What's good about this place is that, they do serve in small portion. So it won't matter if you come alone and crave for a few dishes, since usually Chinese dish comes in a huge portion.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did not expect much from Soup Curry though it is a must-try food in Sapporo, people said. It was my last night in Sapporo and finally I gave this dish a try. There are many Soup Curry restaurants in town, but I picked Soup Curry King for it was one of the closest one from where I spent my afternoon that day.</span><br />

I never tried this kind of t</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">aste before. It wasn't like the ordinary curry, it was rich, savory, a bit spicy and addictive.

Around 10 minutes from the heart of Susukino and you'll find this place. The place was a bit hidden that we were confused at first, we have arrived according to the map but we found no restaurant around. After a while we managed to find this tempura place.<br />

I've been to 7-Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart, Daily Yamazaki plenty of time,but Seicomart was new to me. It turned out that Seicomart was a Hokkaido-born convenience store, no wonder I came across this konbini for the first time here.<br />
<br />
What's so special about Seicomart is, you could find fresh and unique Hokkaido specialties here. Cheese, salmon jerky, Hokkaido cheese/melon ice cream are a few items you could find here.<br />

Their ready to go food selections were also great. I tried a few and I gotta approve them. They were comparable to restaurant dishes.<br />
<br />
So when in Hokkaido, you gotta stop at Secoma!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Bonus: Ishiya Hokkaido Chocolate Drink</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You won't find this drink at konbini, but you could find this drink at some souvenir shops.<br />
Verdict: it is for those, who love their chocolate drink super creamy and sweet.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, let's head to Hokkaido. First stop: Sapporo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
My last trip to Japan mainly focused on Hokkaido. Actually the only reason I went to Tokyo was because my Japan first-timer friend. I've been looking for Jakarta-Tokyo and Sapporo-Jakarta airplane tickets months prior to this trip. From my previous visits to Japan, I found that arriving and departing from different cities could be the most efficient way to save on the transportation fee. After weeks and months of ticket hunting, I found that <u>PAL</u> got the best deal for this route. I got my return tickets for around IDR <u>4,8mio</u>, and sometimes cheap bargain came with a risk - in my case was 6 hours transit at NAIA airport (which was quite dull) on our flight back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, I purchased another flight ticket from Tokyo to Sapporo for around IDR <u>1mio (Jetstar with extra 20kg baggage)</u>. You could fly for one and a half hour or if you have JR Pass, you could actually ride shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin Hakodate then change to limited express local train from Shin Hakodate to Sapporo for a total 9 hours trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQL3jor_pdMwndmqZnHOVuWxLTGtBl3e60Sj7ftxFLJNTAWFMcP7jRQTmf18nOpeJ9WjcaGqCi_RewfqKltvPMSqqvNS0zPWnaGwJViKgDznpqdVgc5JD2etSAYKy2XLP5_YPR8wEWIhk/s640/Sapporo-05.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are two parts of Sapporo which I recommended you to stay, and these two areas located quite near to each other. <u>The first area is the Sapporo Station area</u>. Sapporo Station is the main transportation hub of this city both for train and bus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQJzjIlDo7q6EPtMsNf_uc8yv25C3Cv2wJgXsluUB7lN0WVnqT5NwllB60l1QH-XXB9LljxZY0fnxJK9D6kWbdFRJiShf7oL6k6Q5JUEdO50ZegIceHhyphenhyphenPlCuckUkIseSeF2gs3pbkZ6M/s640/Sapporo-06.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ32UozqEDdDtZ8N_SROBdSv-JOYO0Xyz20BTvCpXEmCpzQaW38G7nyUKI7C6Irgl3AccbzXkdMY_OEYt6kWkljdLSWq_Rnnwbp49F0Cjtqt-PStXQm_qqxYDDSmtueHUvMzi5IIDOQ9o/s640/Sapporo-07.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other great things about staying in this area is its shopping malls! Sapporo Station is connected to few shopping malls and department stores (Esta, Daimaru, Paseo, Apia) with good restaurants and variety of shops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few steps from Sapporo Station is Odori Park, one of Sapporo Snow Festival main sites. Talking about snow, Hokkaido is known being colder since it is located in the northern part of Japan. It was early October when I went there, and it was around <span style="font-family: inherit;">25<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043;">Ā°-30</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043;">Ā°C in Tokyo but the temperature started to drop to </span></span>15<span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043;">Ā°-20</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c4043;">Ā°C in Sapporo. It was even colder on the last few days of my trip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinU0XgZMpwPFnlDU-HFJRtWlhmLG-zW-bYlrkg7NX4KtJFKwQFO8MCVBkwkdaRsG1lJhmODNT6pBzJ30x299pbZDYbhTgPW-QwFNasiLmSBjwa_6CQgpIL4tI0Nckb5mxZ7ZCiyyXMWuU/s640/Sapporo-04.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a very good deal at <u>Hotel Keihan Sapporo</u> on my date of visit. It was a quite decent hotel, and I stayed there for a cheaper price than my stay at a hostel in Tokyo. Plus point: They have free bathhouse inside the hotel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBbpRIpaPYpPVFU0A4zTRLHIrXUT_lzF2sy4wR2vj2RJCFyKAoHesuQMuvO0dbHqXchhyphenhyphenWOyXK_QOxNVEDR9_CwIx0vDg_wg1ef4vIOn0_9hwmzA5HzVTzJKzmBisz7uHW5LuHnCxKH88/s640/Sapporo-01.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>The next part of Sapporo you should consider to stay at is Susukino</u>. Susukino is comparable to Namba or Shinjuku. Susukino is filled with lines of shops, eateries, and pubs decorated fascinating neon lights and signboards. Do stay in this area if you prefer a lively neighbourhood with late night eateries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stayed at <u>The B Hotel Sapporo Susukino</u> which was quite a good place to stay. Extra point for the free coffee machine at the lobby. Actually I got some video footages of the hotels I stayed in, but I was just to lazy to edit them. Let me add them later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioP98wuXeKp6B4VH4MZ5tx9GcS6upL81wD1euXxvylMQTTNKlXIaT-6J0VIZ5e-5hH6F3l-kO98IPcYRqh6N5T9MqDPNqCZMHZ2-cEcmYwBYp5c7NUlRUuvTDeYrpfMkvwGezXD-zWiW0/s640/Sapporo-09.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course, the store I headed back and forth in Susukino was Mega Don Quijote. I bought all kind of food and stuff here! I think I need to make another post about this place later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6NTDxXbGfvjcXyoRGnTFnrCxsudiDFuqaq7Cm4FV2tuuIlqy1mL9AOG2BDsJRfHPnc0Doq20nL0vAv1AlNeeJuC4059RPp8BQLA7AQtnJg4wJTjRuBOOckUUAIxWpzLoGcAJDT2oeQhs/s640/Sapporo-03.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Transport modes you can use in Sapporo are buses, trams, and trains. But I mainly moved around Sapporo Station and Susukino, so I just walked. I did walk with my 28" luggage from Keihan Hotel to the B Sapporo Susukino for around 30 minutes. Well, quite a good exercise before dinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjwZrGnxf4tJpY8pC6abQN2QFIgGjiJiBp7uKNUxJikC7N0dMDw4VaiG5YVGYsSRZlwyO1_1OTB5jvsH6S0FGs0wT0IwJAipqsVQEtPethx2mu7640obrhStRvBtufte89fxihXJNIxm4/s640/Sapporo-02.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talking about this city won't be complete without talking about its food scene. But let's talk about it on my next post since I found that this post will be too long if I summarize all of it here. Meanwhile, let's enjoy a cup of coffee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A friend said that Sapporo is not really her kind of city - she likes Tokyo better. But after my visit to Sapporo, I thought that it might be the vice versa for me. Sapporo is a vibrant and lively city with less crowd and hustle bustle that Tokyo which is perfect for me.</div>

I've been hesitating to visit Yokohama since my first visit to Japan though it is conveniently close to Tokyo. I thought that this city was not special, until I finally visited Yokohama last month. I fell in love with this city!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It took us around an hour and a few minutes from Asakusa to Yokohama and our first destination was Yokohama Chinatown which is Japan's largest Chinatown. Yokohama itself is the second largest city in Japan by population.</div>

Entering Yokohama Chinatown will make you forget that you are actually in Japan for a moment. with all the traditional Chinese architecture buildings, bright red lanterns, and board signages in Han Zi.</div>

It was Sunday afternoon, and the Chinatown was packed with people. Mostly tourists like us, I guess. Chinese restaurants and street snack stalls filled the area with their bright colored shop signs - I felt like I was in Mong Kok for a while since it got pretty similar vibes. Since we already had lunch before we went to Yokohama, we gave up to have a feast here.</div>

You'll easily spot Hikawa Maru (the ship above) once you arrive here. This ocean liner is 90 years old and permanently berthed as a ship museum since 1961. On the other side, you'll spot Osanbashi Pier (below) which runs as an International Passenger Terminal.</div>

Since it was not raining, I was able to have a picnic in a park. We bought snacks and picnic mat at a nearby supermarket on our way from Chinatown to this place.

From across the street, I could spot the icon of Minato Mirai, the Cosmo World Ferris Wheel. Actually Minato Mirai is the central business district of Yokohama. But I haven't got the chance to visit the area. I will surely visit Yokohama on my next Tokyo trip.</div>

I think the highlight of my Tokyo trip was visiting Starbucks Reserve Roastery. I read somewhere that it is the largest Starbucks Reserve Roastery in the world by now, even larger than the one in Shanghai. The building is located in Meguro, which felt a bit different from the other districts I visited before in Tokyo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw Meguro as a hip area where small coffee shops and local boutiques are aligning along the river. It was Sunday night and the area was quite quiet compared to the ever busy areas like Shibuya or Shinjuku.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We alighted at the Naka-Meguro Station, and the maps said that we needed to walk around 12 minutes to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. But guess what? We arrived around an hour because we stopped by The Alley to try their boba drinks and a tonkatsu restaurant called Fujiki to have dinner.</div>

We started exploring from the first floor where you could find special merchandise which is only available this place, and also where the coffee bar is. Warm & contemporary modern - that's how I felt about this place. The interior was dominated by bronze element and wood texture with greyish color floor and part of the walls which complemented the whole room.<br />

Second floor is dedicated for Teavana. I just found out that Starbucks just acquired Teavana around 7 years ago and it was previously a stand alone company. There are so many kinds of tea that you could see, smell, and purchase here. The staff here will gladly help you if you have any questions or else.</div>

I contemplated for a while on which drink to order, and finally I got myself a glass of Irish Coffee (JPY 1,300) - a mixture of whisky, syrup, espresso, and fresh cream. It already sounds good just by listing the ingredients, right?</div>

Here goes my Irish Coffee! The beans were Kenya Ukambani (high acidity, medium bodied, tasting notes: citrus, fresh berry, vanilla). I ordered it hot as recommended by the bartender, and it was indeed awesome! It would be even better to drink it on a chilly day.<br />

The fourth floor was more like a co-working space. From what I read, this area is dedicated for the coffee enthusiasts to learn more or share their interest upon coffee.<br />

Actually I'm not a big Starbucks fan nor am I a coffee geek. I just drink coffee, that's all, but still this place was quite fascinating for me and I think it does worth a visit. The other reason to visit this place is to explore Meguro surroundings, I read that this area was especially beautiful around cherry blossom moment.</div>

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">On my previous visits to Tokyo, I stayed around Shin-Okubo/Shinjuku area. This time, I stayed in Asakusa for a different vibe.

One of my friend has visited Tokyo before, but one of the area that she hasn't had the chance to visit is Asakusa, and the other friend is a Japan first timer. I consider Asakusa one of the must visit place in Tokyo especially its famous landmark <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">SensÅ-ji Temple and Nakamise shopping street. And if you have Tokyo Skytree on your list, staying in Asakusa might be a good option.</span></span></span></div>

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Our accommodation was this place called <b style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Hotel 3000 Jyuraku</b>. Actually Hotel 3000 Jyuraku was more a hostel than a hotel. I booked a triple room which was shown in the booking site as a small room with a bunk bed and another mattress on the floor with ensuite bathroom, but as we arrived, they upgraded our room to a three bunk beds. So we got 6 beds in total, though the room was still small, but luckily we got more space to spread our luggages and belongings. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The facilities was quite standard, but I must say that they did extra miles in their service. The building got no elevator, and they took the initiative to bring our suitcases to the room which was on the second floor. I've been staying in several hostels in Japan, and recalled that most of the time I took my own luggage over or down the stairs which was quite a hassle. The night before we checked out they also asked and noted our check out time to help us bring our suitcases down. Thumbs up!</span></div>

Fuglen, originated from Norway is one of the most famous coffee shop in Tokyo. I've been wanting to visit Fuglen since my previous visit but just skipped it in the end. So I was excited to find out that they had opened another branch in Asakusa. Fuglen Asakusa is located in the same building with 9 Hours - a capsule hotel chain with several branches in Japan. I've stayed in 9h Shinjuku-North before which was my first capsule hotel experience. </span></div>

<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The <span style="color: red;">downside</span> of staying in Asakusa is - it is not that close to other popular areas in Tokyo like Shinjuku or Shibuya which is connected by JR Yamanote Line. So if you buy JR Pass you need to take another line like Tokyo Metro Ginza Line or Toei Asakusa Subway line to/from Asakusa which is not covered by the pass.</span><br />
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Overall I think Asakusa worth a two or three nights stay - before you move to another part of Tokyo. At the end, you need to arrange your itinerary first, then you can look for the best accommodation that fits your itinerary.</span></div>

Pardon me for my lack of posts, and thank you to those who's still waiting for my posts by DM or dropping comments. I'm still here guys, just lacking the will to write these past few years, and also lacking the interest to explore this city food scene and write reviews about it. So well, rather than having so much excuses, I'll just post anything I feel like posting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went to Bangkok last month and I feel like this place worth to write. Since the weather was so hot and humid on my last visit, well 2 years ago I also visited this city around this time but I do not remember Bangkok being this ho<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">t 37<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;">Ā°C-38</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;">Ā°C average daily, event </span>35<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;">Ā°C on the evening, </span></span>it was such a hassle to visit Bangkok's outdoor scene like temples, markets, and else. So I found this perfect place to visit when you are craving for traditional food and also street food without having to battle the heat.</div>

This place is called SOOKSIAM, located in the latest mall addition, ICONSIAM. I've been wanting to visit ICONSIAM itself since last year when it was just opened, simply because it got many of my favorite brands covered. I went right to the restroom after arriving at this mall, and just the restroom decoration itself awed me. This might be the most gorgeous restroom I've ever seen or not.</div>

SOOKSIAM offers wide varieties of food and beverages, from traditional Thai food to fruits, street food, packaged snacks, in such reasonable price. How can I not love this place when it got so many affordable tempting food in a convenient and well decorated ambience.</div>

What's also special about this place is the floating market. Well, it's not a real floating market and you don't get to ride a boat here. But the food vendors are really in a boat. You don't get the same experience elsewhere.</div>

I don't know what's the name of this dish in Thai, but it is similar to Lo Mai Gai - glutinous rice with pork sausage, salted egg yolk, and mushroom on top of it, wrapped up in lotus leaf. THB 60 for this dish, and yes it's good!</div>

ICONSIAM is easily accessible by taxi, Grab, or free shuttle boat. You could alight at Saphan Taksin BTS Station and walk to Sathorn Pier then hop into the free shuttle boat to ICONSIAM. I read that there's also free shuttle bus available from Krung Thonburi BTS Station.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I went here by Grab, and went to Asiatique after by free shuttle boat - hop into the free shuttle boat to Sathorn Pier, alight there, and hop into the free shuttle boat to Asiatique (the queue will be next to each other).</div>

This post will cover my food journey on my latest Hong Kong-Macau short trip a few months ago. Yeah, it's been a while since my last Hong Kong trip, 5 years exactly. This post will be useful for those who are not too ambitious about trying new and hype food, and cherish comfort food more than anything. Well, that's me as I am getting older. Fiuh.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course you can't miss dim sum out of your Hong Kong must eat food list. There are so many good dim sum restaurants all around Hong Kong. You might want to choose one based on your budget, location and time. I chose Dim Dim Sum since the Jordan branch opens until 1 AM in the morning. Dim Dim Sum is one of the moderate priced dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong that has several branches all around the town. Besides its opening time, I chose this place because it's located around 15 minutes walk from where I stayed in Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of dim sum selections are available here, and English menu is available. We tried around 10 kinds of dim sum to share between 4 people, and the taste of the food did not disappoint us. Speaking about the price, I just realised on this trip that food in Hong Kong is relatively more expensive compared to food in other countries in Asia, even from Japan and South Korea. So when I said that the price is moderate, expect to spend around HKD 100 (HKD 1 = <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Ā±</span> IDR 1800) per meal per person.</div>

As a noodle lover, I couldn't miss a visit to this very well-known ramen restaurant. Some famous foodies named Butao Ramen as their favorite ramen restaurant, well I guest it has been one of my favourite too. They got several ramen menu to offer, but I always choose Tonkotsu Ramen every time I pay my first visit to a ramen restaurant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The broth was perfect for my liking. It got just the right amount of thickness, and savouriness as I expected. Butao Ramen also has several branches around Hong Kong, so you could choose to visit the branch that is closest to you. I visited the one in Tsim Sha Tsui area on a fine Sunday noon, maybe around 2 PM, at it was not too crowded. Just perfect!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since my first visit to Shake Shack back in Tokyo, I kept wanting to taste their burger again. And I was so glad when I knew that they had opened their branch in Hong Kong. Since it was just a few months after their opening, a long queue was welcoming me at their outlet in IFC Mall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're a first timer, try their ShackBurger<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ā®. </span>I got myself a Double ShackBurger<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ā® </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(HKD 76)</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span>since I've been craving for a while. I really love their patty, so juicy and tasty! Other than burger, Shake Shack is also famous for their milkshake, they even has a Hong Kong special edition milkshake, the Milk Tea Shack. But this time I skipped the milkshake and enjoyed my Double ShackBurger<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ā® </span>with fries (HKD 27).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend had a 'Shroom Burger that was also good! I think fried portobello mushroom could hardly go wrong. On my next visit to Shake Shack, I think I'm going to have Shack Stack, the combination of two.</div>

Yeah, I also had their coffee back in Kyoto, and since they have a branch nearby Harbour City - a mall that I visited, I paid a visit to their humble outlet on the ferry terminal to have a cup of latte. Actually there are many other worth visiting coffee store all around Hong Kong that I could opt to visit, but maybe I will visit them next time. And yeah, expect to spend around HKD 40-50 for a cup of coffee here in Hong Kong.</div>

I randomly visited this place on a rainy Sunday night in Hong Kong since it was very close to our staying neighbourhood. Ca-Tu-Ya is a Japanese family restaurant that serves varieties of katsu. It has quite many branches in Hong Kong. I had their shrimp and pork set meal that was served with rice and miso soup. It was overall decent. The shrimp and pork was well battered and fried, the soup was warm and pretty tasty and the rice was good.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, here's an extra tip for you who is going to Hong Kong Disneyland. To make your visit more efficient, don't just buy the park ticket, but opt for the park+meal ticket. It will be cheaper than just buying the park ticket and purchasing the meal at the park's restaurants later. The meal ticket can be used at most of the restaurants in the theme park with extra 1 popcorn or 1 Mickey waffle ticket that you can redeemed at the food cart around the park. You could buy this package and the park official website or other website like Klook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My meal look tempting right? I got this Royal Mixed Grill at Royal Banquet Hall. The portion was great, though I was still able to finish it but my friend couldn't. Taste wise, well nothing special, just a plate full of protein and fat that will energised you during your Disneyland day. </div>

In this short Hong Kong trip, I took a day out of Hong Kong to visit Macau which is only an hour ferry ride away. I started my day in Macau by visiting this famous cha chaan teng called Nam Peng Cafe. We took taxi from the ferry terminal to this place. We couldn't stop in front of the store since it was on the road where no car is allowed, so we stop nearby and walked there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their signature meals were Nam Peng Macaroni and Nam Peng Sandwich. We ordered both, sandwich for each of us, and the macaroni to share.</div>

Both the macaroni and sandwich is filled with ham, pork, and egg. It was a heartwarming and decent breakfast, but I must say it was not that special. Nothing beats <i>bubur ayam</i> and <i>bakmi</i> in the morning.</div>

The pride of Macau is this Portugese Egg Tarts from Lord's Stow Bakery. Your trip to Macau would not be complete without tasting these sweet and lovely tarts. You know that sometimes you got your egg tart too sweet, too buttery, or maybe to dry, but Lord Stow's tars were just perfect. I got my tarts from their store in The Venetian Hotel. There was quite a queue on our visit but it was all worth it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was one fine Sunday morning when I went to Shirakawa-Go from Takayama. I booked a half-day tour from J-Hoppers guesthouse, the hostel where I stayed in Takayama. You can book this tour also even if you don't stay at the place, but it's cheaper if you stay there. Actually, I didn't expect to witness any snow in Shirakawa-Go since it was still November, but it did snow!</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently, my friend went to Shirakawa-Go just the day before I went there. He told me it was snowing hard that day. He told me that it was quite hard to reach the observation deck since to road was slippery because of the snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The snow did not fall the day after - the day I went to Shirakawa-Go, but the snow leftover was still there. Thank God! I could finally experienced snow all around me. And the plus point of taking this tour was, it stopped right at the observation deck so I didn't have to walk there. </div>

The view from the observation deck was magnificent. I marvelled upon the view of the village, surrounded by mountains, and snow. It was so beautiful.</div>

From the observation deck, the bus headed to the village. It stopped on the parking lot and I had to walk to the village by crossing the bridge.</div>

Even the view from the bridge awed me, thought it was just river with rocks and snow covering it. So yeah, snow is something huge for someone who lives in a tropical country like me. I consider myself blessed to experience this, since my friend came here the next month, somewhere in mid December, but there was no snow track at all at this place. So, check the weather forecast before you come here on November or December and manage your expectation.</div>

The main attraction of this village are the gassho-zukuri farmhouses. <span style="background-color: white; color: #383838;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Gassho means 'hands in prayer' which the steep tatched roof resembles. Some of these houses are more than 250 years old.</span></span></div>

Shirakawa-go was on my last year trip itinerary, and after some researches, I decided to visit the place from the city Takayama. Actually Takayama is closer from Kyoto, but because of one thing and another, I decided to visit Takayama from Tokyo, which is quite far. So this post will be about my one night stay in Takayama.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
You could actually visit Shirakawa-Go from another city, like Kanagawa. But since I found a tour package from a hostel in Takayama, I decided to stay there. It was a total of 5 hours something trip from Tokyo to Takayama. I used my JR Pass and rode Hikari train to Nagoya, then I got transferred to the JR Hida limited express train to Takayama. The view from Nagoya to Takayama was absolutely stunning. Let me share some of the pictures I took from my seat. I was all alone on this trip, but I was not bored at all because of the view.</div>

Since I love konbini food so much, I purchased from food 7 Eleven to accompany me along the way. Konbini food never fails! And yes I bought Evian for the sake of Mickey Mouse, anyway it didn't cost much with other mineral water brand there. They're all expensive.<br />

Finally I arrived at Takayama. This city is much colder than Tokyo, even colder than Kyoto. The weather forecast told that it was going to snow that day. I was excited to experience my first snowing day, too bad it didn't snow after all.<br />

It was Saturday, and the city was quiet. I think Takayama is a perfect city for an introvert who enjoys wandering around alone like me. But if you don't like quite place, you could head to Sanmachi Suji / Takayama Old Town where all the people are buzzing around.<br />
<br /></div>

This is the place where you can find the infamous Takayama's delicacies like Hida Beef Sushi, Hida Croquette, Mitarashi Dango and else.<br />

My first joining the queue activity here was for the Hida beef sushi. Don't leave Takayama before you have this! Takayama is all about Hida beef.<br />

Basically it was a skewered round mochi grilled and covered with soy sauce. Well, not my favourite but worth a try since it was cheap anyway.<br />
<br />
My next stop was to purchase Hida beef croquettes. Since the order was made using a machine, I entered the wrong type of croquette and made another purchase for the one I was aiming for. So, two croquettes for me.<br />

It was not even 5 PM and the city started to get dark and chilly. The temperature dropped to 0Ā°C and I headed back to my hostel, entered my room, and set the heater on. I was thinking to have dinner but the weather kept me away from leaving my room.<br />
<br />
And I paid a visit to the place I planned to had dinner the day after. The place is called Mame Tengu, a restaurant that serves Takayama Ramen.<br />

Takayama ramen is quite different from the other ramen I had before. It has clearer broth, quite unique one since the broth used <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "palanquin"; font-size: 16px;">dried bonito flakes, and vegetables as a base, and mixed with a secret sauce made with soy sauce and miso before boiling. The noodle itself was springy and curly.</span><br />

Kyoto has been one of my favourite city to visit since the first time I stepped my feet there, and I was so excited to re-visit this city. Since I visited some of the top spot on my previous visit like Kiyomizu-Dera, Fushimi Inari Shrine, which I'm sure are also beautiful in autumn, I decided to pay a visit to different spots this time.</div>

Kyoto on 20th November 2017 noon was cloudy and a bit freezing. As I remembered, it was below 10Ā°C that day, and I was wearing three layers clothing inside - well I'm not really good with cold weather. </div>

We stayed in a hostel located within 10 minutes walk from JR Kyoto Station. After dropping our luggage, we walked towards Kyoto Station and spotted this Katsugyu restaurant with a queue of people in front of it. Apparently this place is quite famous, so we decided to have our lunch there.</div>

It was a good lunch, not bad at all, but not as good as we expected since we were still awed with the deliciousness of Gyukatsu Motomura and comparing this one to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before this trip, I did some research on places to visit in Autumn in Kyoto and Tofukuji appeared on the list. And so we head to this place after lunch.</div>

Tofukuji is one of the most well-known zen temple in Kyoto. Quite many people were visiting this place on Monday afternoon. Let me show you some parts of this temple, and don't miss the Tsuntenkyo bridge like I did, which is actually the best autumn viewing spot there.</div>

From Tofukuji, we were heading to Ninenzaka area with bus. Oh yeah, this is a good tip, do buy Kyoto bus pass, it is super worth it. It was only JPY 500 - FYI each bus trip cost JPY 230 in Kyoto. Why Ninenzaka? Actually because my friend wanted to visit the traditional Japan styled-Starbucks there.</div>

The walk towards Ninenzaka was captivating. You could spot the beautiful Yasaka Shrine there. And if you love coffee, you could spot % Arabica shop on this lane, and yes people were queuing for their cup of coffee. But I skipped this one for the Arashiyama shop.</div>

You could find from traditional souvenir shops to Ghibli & Hello Kitty shops here which some Hello Kitty merchandise were only available exclusively here. I did not take so many beautiful pictures here since my main camera battery died just right after we reached this lane.</div>

After considering on where should we had our dinner, we left this area and rode the 202 bus to a ramen restaurant called Fire Ramen Menbakaichidai. And talking about the weather, can you guess how much more freezing it would be later in the night? It was much colder, yet we had to wait outside the restaurant after taking our queue number. Yep, we were on the waiting list since the shop didn't have much seat and there were already people queueing before us.</div>

I consider myself quite lucky since I could still enter the waiting 'camp' with heater in it. People who were coming after me had to wait outside, since it was only a small waiting booth. After maybe, almost an hour or less, we finally entered the shop.</div>

Something that didn't always happen when I'm having my ramen.</div>

Okay, I hope it's not too late to share about my autumn experience in Osaka. That day, my travel companions were going to Universal Studios, and since I already went there before, I looked for a place where I could enjoy some fall foliage in Osaka. When I googled about fall in Osaka, Minoo Park kept appearing on the result, so I did some research and went there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From where I stay, it took around one and a half hour to reach Mino-o Station and extra 15-20 minutes walk to reach the park.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The walk to the park was pleasant, the weather was cool, the trees were surrounding me, and the sound of the stream were accompanying me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, I expected that fall would be totally yellow, orange, and red, but at the time, many of the trees were still green. But I could still witnessed the beautiful autumn foliage there. You could see the scenery I enjoyed through the pictures below.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gara-gara balik nulis lagi soal <i>trip</i> ke Jepang, saya jadi kangen sama Jepang dan segala jenis makanan Jepang. Iseng-iseng deh ngecek <i>apps</i> Traveloka di <i>smartphone</i> buat sekedar liat-liat tiket, dan ternyata di <i>apps</i> traveloka ada fitur baru yaitu Kuliner! Ya udah deh, jadi salah fokus buat liat-liat apa sih yang ditawarkan fitur kuliner ini. Rupanya fitur kuliner ini semacam direktori restoran-restoran yang ada di sekitar saya. Terus apa bedanya sama<i> apps</i> direktori restoran serupa, nah ini nih yang saya mau<i> share</i> di <i>post</i> kali ini.</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jadi saya iseng-iseng nyoba masukin <i>keyword</i> 'ramen' di search bar, karena memang lagi ngidam ramen, lalu seperti direktori lainnya, muncullah beberapa restoran ramen di Jakarta, salah satunya Marutama Ramen. Udah lama juga nih ga mampir ke sana, lalu saya kliklah <a href="https://m.traveloka.com/restaurants/indonesia/detail/marutama-ramen-sentral-senayan-57211">Marutama Ramen</a>, sekalian ingin melihat apa sih keunikan fitur <i>apps </i>direktori kuliner Traveloka ini. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dan ternyata saudara-saudara! Ada tulisan <i>special offer </i>di Marutama Ramen ini. Yah namanya <i>special offer</i> kan bikin penasaran yah, jadilah saya <i>scroll</i> isi <i>special offer</i>nya.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rupanya,<i> special offer set meal</i> di Marutama Ramen ini, bisa saya dapatkan kalau beli <i>voucher</i>nya via<i> apps</i>. Wah lucu juga nih pikir saya, dulu-dulu sih saya lumayan suka beli <i>voucher </i>diskon makanan. Cuma karena sudah kebanyakan <i>apps </i>di <i>smartphone</i>, jadinya saya <i>uninstall </i>aplikasinya. Nah kalau gini kan enak, dari <i>apps </i>yang sama, selain saya bisa <i>booking</i> tiket pesawat, kereta, hotel, dan lainnya untuk <i>travelling</i>, saya juga bisa nemu voucher makan enak yang pastinya lebih hemat. Jadilah saya beli <i>voucher </i>di atas buat saya dan teman saya. Lumayan banget, dengan harga IDR 89,751 nett, saya bisa makan ramen, <i>dessert</i>, dan sudah termasuk minuman juga.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Marutama Ramen tentunya sudah tidak asing buat saya sebagai seorang pecinta ramen. Pertama kali saya mencoba brand ramen ini mungkin sekitar 5 tahun lalu, dan dulu saya suka mampir di outlet EX lalu Plaza Indonesia yang sekarang sudah tidak ada. Terakhir saya mampir ke Marutama Ramen - Sentral Senayan ini kalau tidak salah sekitar 2 tahun lalu, dan ternyata masih ramai sampai sekarang. Berarti Marutama Ramen ini masih menjadi salah satu pilihan utama bagi pecinta ramen di Jakarta yah. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sesampainya di sini saya bilang ke <i>waitress</i> kalau saya pakai voucher dari Traveloka dan langsung dibantu untuk <i>redeem</i>. Ternyata paket Set Meal ini juga memang bisa dipesan di Marutama Ramen tanpa menggunakan <i>voucher</i>, tapi yang pasti jadi rugi kalau gak beli <i>voucher</i>nya di Traveloka, karena kalau pesan tanpa<i> voucher</i> harganya IDR 99,000 ++, jadi kira-kira nettnya IDR 120,000 sedangkan harga promo di Traveloka IDR 89,751 nett!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Untuk menu utamanya saya pilih Marutama Ramen yang <i>spicy</i>. Ramen-nya gak usah ditanya lagi lah yah rasanya. Masih konsisten dari dulu sampai sekarang. Walau saya pesan yang <i>spicy,</i> rasanya tidak terlalu <i>spicy</i> sih, masih harus saya tambahkan <i>chili oil </i>lagi baru rasanya pedasnya pas dengan standar lidah saya.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yaki Gyoza-nya juga masih sama enaknya dari dulu sampai sekarang. <i>Juicy fillings, crispy thin skin</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Menu ini gak termasuk <i>set meal</i> yah, tapi menurut saya wajib coba juga.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Untuk pilihan minuman dari <i>set meal</i> ini ada <i>hot</i> dan <i>cold</i> ocha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kalau buat kalian ramen dan <i>ocha</i> belum cukup memuaskan tenang, masih ada <i>dessert</i>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Untuk pilihan <i>dessert </i>dari <i>set meal </i>ini ada Matcha Parfait, Matcha Brulee dan Mochi. Saya memilih Matcha Brulee dan teman saya memilih Matcha Parfait, tapi karena <i>ice-cream</i> matchanya kosong jadinya diganti dengan <i>vanilla ice cream</i>. Dulu saya sudah pernah coba parfaitnya, oleh karena itu kali ini saya memilih untuk nyobain Matcha Brulee.</div>

Dan pilihan saya gak salah, Matcha Brulee-nya Marutama Ramen enak banget! <i>Bitter</i> dari matcha-nya terasa, manisnya pas, gak terlalu manis sesuai selera saya, dan tekstur <i>creamy</i>nya pas banget, gak terlalu keras ataupun lembek. Kalau kalian matcha <i>lovers</i>, wajib banget nyobain dessert satu ini.</div>

I visited Dotonbori on Saturday <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">and Sunday, and it was surely packed with people, locals and tourists were buzzing around this spot. <a href="https://niyaoke.blogspot.com/2016/03/japan-trip-day-13-14.html">I visited this place on weekdays back in 2015</a>, still it was crowded with tourists especially. This time since it was mid November, the weather was quite chilly and windy - around 15<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Ā°C as I remember - so more food is good to warm the body (well it's just me reasoning with my big appetite actually). I always love the colourful neon signage around the area. It's so lively!</span></span></div>

So, these are a few eateries that I think worth trying when you are around Dotonbori. I believe there are a lot more to try, but since I was only there for a day or two, these were a few those I could recommend.</div>

Back in 2015, I went to Ichiran in Kyoto, this time I went to the Dotonbori shop. There was a queue, but not too long. Many said that Ichiran is not the best tonkotsu ramen ever, and yes I believe that. I prefer ramen with thicker broth. But still it was overall delicious.</div>

Rikuro's cheesecake is the fluffy jiggly kind of cheesecake - you know, the super soft and light one. It was good, really, but still, I love Pablo's kind of cheesecake better. And that's why I went back to Pablo, though they already have several stores in Jakarta.</div>

Don't expect to find the signage written with GYUKATSU MOTOMURA on it, instead, find the signage with the kanji letter written like above - there you find the Dotonbori branch of Gyukatsu Motomura. I've been hearing about this place here and there, and it seems like it is one of the must visit restaurant in Japan. Yes, they have a branch here in Osaka other than the other Tokyo branches.</div>

Well, it's no good food when you don't have to queue in Japan. So there ware me and my friends, queueing on one chilly night in Dotonbori for this piece of meat. We waited for around 45 minutes - an hour to get our seats.</div>

You need to grill the meat yourself on this mini teppan. Tips - just grill your meat for a little while for a piece of juicy heavenly meat.</div>

I must say Gyukatsu Motomura is really worth trying. I was heavenly good! Other than the meat itself, the salad, the soup, the rice were all good. When I went to Tokyo days later, I went back to Gyukatsu Motomura, and I must say the meat was slightly different in texture, the one I had in Osaka was better.</div>

You'll find this place easily. It is located just two or three buildings away from Ichiran, right on the river walk. Why I tried the takoyaki here? Well just because we went through this place several times, and since Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki are must eats in Osaka, we tried a portion to share.</div>

Chewy octopus inside covered with the not to thick takoyaki skin. Something good if you wanna chew something while walking around the area. You could dine in also, the have several seats in their basements. Free water available also.</div>

The problem of finding the eateries here is, sometimes their English name is not written, or if written, the size is super small that you could hardly spot it when your eyes are wandering around trying to find it. Trying to find Mizuno? Try to find the signage above with the small Mizuno name on the bottom right of it. Actually the easier way to find the famous eateries is by the queue of people in front of it. So yes, we were queueing (again) for a plate of okonomiyaki.</div>

I was longing for a good coffee and quietness after strolling around Dotonbori for hours. So I decided to find a good coffee shop around, and Mel's was listed. Actually this spot was not really in Dotonbori area. It was around 10-15 minutes walk from Dotonbori. It was a humble coffee shop in a quiet area, just coffee beans, coffee machines and baristas inside, so if you want to sit, you could sit in front of the shop.</div>

Yuhuu! I'm back again. So, before I start writing about the trip itself, let me, like usual, start with the preparation and budgeting stuff. There are several differences between my 2017 and 2015 Japan trip. What are those? So this time I already had an e-passport, so yes, I just had to make a visa waiver for free! A few weeks before I issued my visa waiver at the Japanese embassy, I just knew that right now you can no longer issued your visa there. If you have a usual passport, you must go to Japan Visa Application Centre located at Lotte Shopping Avenue to issue your visa, and other than the visa fee, there is also extra IDR 115,000 administration fee. So, yeah, having an e-passport is more profitable.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The second difference is, this time I bought JR pass, since I was planning to use the shinkansen here and there. Bought the 7 days pass at a travel fair for around IDR 3,300,000, and yeah, it was worth every single penny!<br />
<br />
Third difference, this trip was a little bit shorter than the first one. I spend 10 nights in Japan, landed at KIX Airport (Osaka) and headed back from Haneda Airport (Tokyo).<br />
<br />

<br />
Let's head on to this important part, budgeting!<br />
This will be a mix between IDR and JPY since I choose to pay the accomodation in cash at the place, so better take a good look.<br />
Currency: JPY 1 = IDR 120<br />
<br />
<b>Visa</b>: <b>IDR 0</b> (E-passport + Visa Waiver)<br />
<br />
<b>Flight:</b><br />
Garuda Indonesia<br />
CGK - KIX<br />
HND - CGK<br />
Total: <b>IDR 4,600,000</b><br />
<br />
<b>Accomodation:</b><br />
- OSAKA: Yadokari Namba Hostel<br />
4 Beds Room, 2 Nights: JPY 32,400<br />
Per Person : JPY 8,100<br />
- KYOTO: K's House Kyoto<br />
Quadruple Room JPY 16,000<br />
Per Person : JPY 4000<br />
- TOKYO: Nine Hours Shinjuku-North<br />
2 Pods in Female Room, 4 nights ā JPY 24,000<br />
Per Person : JPY 12,000<br />
- TAKAYAMA: J-Hoppers Takayama<br />
3 Beds, 1 Nights JPY 10,500<br />
Per Person : JPY 3,500<br />
- TOKYO: Best Hotel, Shin Okubo<br />
Twin Room 2 nights<br />
JPY 15,000 (3 persons)<br />
Per Person : JPY 7,500<br />
Total: JPY 35,100 (<b>IDR 4,212,000</b>)<br />
Many asked, why didn't I stay at an AirBNB, well it's just a preference. I find hotels/hostels are more convenience in the way that I can drop my luggage before the check in time. But I think AirBNB is a good choice too considering budget.<br />
<br />
<b>Transportation:</b><br />
JR PASS (7 Days): IDR 3,300,000 (it covers most of my transportation fee)<br />
And since I bought the 7 Day Pass, I still had to pay for the rest of the transportation fee, and for around JPY 6,350 including<br />
Namba Ocat Buss (From KIX): JPY 1,050<br />
Kyoto Bus Pass: JPY 500<br />
Bus to and from Hitachi Seaside Park from Katsuta Station: JPY 800<br />
Total: <b>IDR 4,062,000</b><br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Food:</b><br />
This time, I did record my expenses for food and drinks (though I missed some), and the total amount I spend for food and drinks were around JPY 23,000 for 10 and a half days, just count it as an average of JPY 2300 per day.<br />
Total: IDR <b>2,760,000</b><br />
<br />
Total spending for 10 Days (not including shopping of course) <b>IDR 17,468,000.</b><br />

Well, hello! I think it has been more than a year since my last blog post. Just got back from an autumn trip to Japan last week (as I promised myself I would go back there), and will post soon about this trip. Meanwhile, enjoy a few teaser pictures, and please drop a comment if you have any questions and I will answer it on my upcoming posts. </div>

Weekend lalu saya mampir ke Citos setelah mungkin 10 tahun lebih gak ke sana, ternyata sudah berubah banget yah. Banyak tempat ngopi dan makan yang menarik untuk dicoba, salah satunya <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN </b>yang terletak di lantai 1. Kalau dengar nama Melbourne lalu dihubungkan ke makanan, pasti kepikir yang namanya Gyu Tan Don, karena biasanya restoran yang buka dan berbau Melbourne pasti menawarkan menu tersebut. Gyu Tan Don memang merupakan salah satu menu andalan <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN</b>, tetapi banyak juga loh menu lain yang ditawarkan restoran yang sudah terlebih dahulu buka di Bandung ini. Seperti apa tempatnya dan makanan apa saja yang bisa kita temui di tempat ini?</div>

Pada hari Minggu siang, cukup banyak tamu yang mengisi meja di <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN</b>, tapi katanya sih hari biasa lebih ramai, karena lokasinya yang berdekatan dengan perkantoran. Space-nya tidak terlalu besar, namun kalau mau makan rame-rame masih bisa menggabungkan beberapa meja menjadi 1.</div>

Langsung aja soal makanan. <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN </b>mengsung konsep<i> comfort food </i>untuk makanannya. Menu makanan di sini, terutama menu makanan beratnya lebih banyak yang berbau Asian, karena katanya di Melbourne sana juga banyak restoran Asia secara banyak penghuninya yang datang dari berbagai belahan Asia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pertama, ada pilihan menu<i> All-Day Breakfast</i>. Dan inilah sebagian dari pilihan menu tersebut.</div>

Karena saya bukan pecinta buah-buahan, kalau disuruh milih saya akan milih <i>Ricotta Hotcakes</i> yang <i>fluffy</i>, manis, dan hangat. <i>Coconut Chia Pudding</i> juga cukup unik dikarenakan tekstur<i> chia seed </i>yang khas, dan rasanyapun tidak terlalu manis.</div>

Pilihan paling aman adalah<i> Popcorn Chicken</i>, siapa sih yang gak suka ayam goreng apalagi dilengkapi dengan<i> spicy mayo dip</i>. Buat yang suka <i>truffle</i>, wajib nyobain <i>Truffle Fries</i> yang wangi <i>truffle</i>-nya sangat menggoda. <i>Sweet Potato Fries</i> juga bikin nagih karena seasoningnya yang asin dan pedas mengimbangi manisnya <i>sweet potato</i>.</div>

Kalau penasaran sama yang namanya <i>Gyu Tan Don</i>, boleh banget nyoba di sini, ada yang <i>original</i>, <i>curry</i>, juga <i>wasabi</i>. Gyu Tan Don-nya <i>well seasoned</i>, hanya saja pas kemarin saya makan agak alot, jadi harus ngunyah lebih lama. Semoga <i>next</i> sudah lebih baik. Sekarang juga lagi jaman-nya segala macam makanan ditambah dengan <i>salted egg</i>, nah <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN </b>juga menyediakan pilihan menu baik ayam maupun ikan dori yang dimasak dengan <i>salted egg</i>. Buat yang gak tahan asin mungkin akan terasa agak keasinan, namun kalau sudah dimakan dengan nasi, rasa asinnya jadi enak-enak aja. Buat yang seleranya Indonesia banget, mungkin bisa pilih ikan dori ataupun ayam dengan sambal matah. Buat yang suka agak manis, <i>Teriyaki Chicken</i> bisa jadi pilihan. Untuk <i>Namban Chicken</i>,<i> tartar sauce</i>nya rasanya terlalu <i>strong</i> untuk lidah saya, <i>too much mayo</i>. Secara keseluruhan menu nasi di sini porsinya pas, dan rasanya juga tidak mengecewakan.</div>

Siapa di sini yang kalau ke restoran <i>fastfood</i> suka mesen<i> french fries</i> dan es krim, lalu makannya dicampur - kentangnya dicocol ke es krim? Nah, di <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN </b>ada menu <i>OMG!! Fries </i>yang berupa <i>french fries</i> dengan es krim dan saus <i>salted caramel</i> serta coklat di atasnya. Lucu juga rasanya.</div>

Untuk minuman, di <b>MELBOURNE KITCHEN </b>ada pilihan menu kopi, bir, juga <i>smoothies</i> dan lainnya. Saya mencoba salah satu menu smoothies di tempat ini yaitu <i>Fallscreek </i>yang merupakan campuran dari banana, <i>chocolate</i>, <i>yoghurt</i>. Buat saya yang gak terlau suka buah, pisang merupakan buah paling amat buat saya. Rasanya mungkin agak kebayang yah, rasa khas dari pisang, dan manisnya coklat, bercampur dengan asamnya yogurt. Enak juga.</div>
