Weekend in Osaka, Nara, Kobe..

This is my trip to Osaka, Nara and Kobe. Why so far from Tokyo just for two days? Because of Yamayaki! Yamayaki is a traditional festival in Nara. It is the annual event full of fireworks (fireworks are not common in Japan during winter season) where a whole maintain is burned afterwords. Thus, the main point of that trip was Saturday evening in Nara. Anyway, all of those cities are really beautiful and worth to be visited. It was a really busy time in the West part of Japan. I took a night bus on Friday after work and returned directly to work on Monday..


     Tokyo - Shinjuku in the evening - still full of Illuminations.

    Nara. This city is really famous because of its park where you can meet a lot of wild deers hanging around people.

     The most spontaneous decision - renting a car just for 5 remaining hours in Osaka region. We went from Osaka directly to hot-springs in Kobe.
