Japan is truly an addiction you can't quit

🇯🇵 Every once in a while, I find myself missing that place like I’m addicted—not just the fresh air, friendly atmosphere, restrained etiquette, or clean food🥘... This time I unlocked Osaka ➡️ Kobe ➡️ Fukuoka in three cities, and unexpectedly experienced the "Meimon Taiyo" overnight ferry 🚢 from Osaka to Fukuoka—this ferry actually became the punchline of my trip‼️ The buffet on the ship exceeded my expectations (I originally had none) 🍴 Crispy snacks + milk ice cream, I even showed off twice, it was better than the popular milk ice cream shop in Kobe. What surprised me most was the hot spring ♨️, deck breeze, watching the Seto Inland Sea’s night view and sunrise from the deck, watching soccer games ⚽️... I really didn’t want to get off! --- ✨ A few Japanese details that I can’t forget: 1️⃣ Whether in the big city of Tokyo or rural Japan, it’s really clean everywhere! Even the public restrooms smell nice… it amazed me for a whole year. Here I saw the bluest sky and smelled the freshest air. 2️⃣ In the ferry bathhouse, passengers voluntarily cleaned 🚿 At first, I thought they were staff... later I realized everyone was a tourist! And everyone wiped their tables, cleared their trays after eating, and said “thank you” to the window staff 💮 Not causing trouble for others is truly ingrained in their upbringing. 3️⃣ On the airport bus back from Fukuoka, an elderly Japanese man bowed 90 degrees to the driver to thank him 🙇 I stood nearby and felt so touched... --- 🏙️ About the three cities: ▪️ 𝐎𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢 I used to think Osaka was lively but chaotic, but after visiting "Nakanoshima" this time, my view completely changed! Museums, libraries, cafes... artistic and quiet, totally my style! Grand Green Osaka in Umeda is also highly recommended—lying on the lawn in the sun during the day 🌿 and watching the night view at night, plus you can eat at Asia’s only Time Out Market. Osaka’s other side is so surprising. ▪️ 𝐊𝐨𝐛𝐞 𝟏-𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩 Only had one day in Kobe, which was totally not enough! I didn’t get to Suma, Maiko Park, or the Rokko mountain night view... but I did check in at the super beautiful seaside Starbucks ☕️ with a 360-degree ocean view, stunning beyond words! I heard the Maiko Park one is also amazing, definitely will visit next time. ▪️ 𝐅𝐮𝐤𝐮𝐨𝐤𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 Northern Kyushu is very close to China and Korea, with multilingual signs everywhere~ The city is small, streets narrow and very down-to-earth. Although it’s a food capital, I actually hit a few duds 🥲 I recommend going to the museum to see Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkin 🎃, Dazaifu, or rushing to Kumamoto and Kagoshima for a visit, otherwise it might feel a bit boring~ --- In short, Japan is truly a place you never get tired of. I’m already starting to miss it again…💘
