Finally my dream come true!!! Finally I'm in here!! That's my first feeling when entering the Universal Studio Japan in Osaka. Actually this is not my first time visited Universal Studio, have been visited in Singapore before. But USJ was very special! Because Harry Potter World in here.

I'm a big fans of Harry Potter, I spent my junior high school and senior high school life with Harry Potter's story. So, visited Harry Potter wizarding world truely and really really my big dream!!! When I heard Harry Potter world open at Universal Studio Orlando in USA I really want go there, but going to US little bit hard right? Heheheh. Than I read Harry Potter World also open in universal studio Osaka in Japan, I though that my chance.

After work hard and save money harder, thanks God finally I'm here. In Hogwarts world, life as a wizard for one day! Totally excited and happy over loaded.

Admission fee to enterin USJ little bit expansive, but Who cares? I'm waiting this day for half of my life. Hahahahah. Same like other Universal Studio, many thematic area in in here, but I'm only interested with one, "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter". On my way to Harry Potter Land, I feel like already in Hogwarts, many people wearing cloak witch like Grifindor, Revaclaw, Hallpupaff and Slytherin. Ooooo this amazing!

Before entered the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, we must choice the time, maybe for reduce the Que. I choice enter at 12 pm. To killing the time, me and hubby go to Kids land, bring our baby play. USJ really amazing, fantastic and cool theme park, my little baby so happy running everywhere, and so do I.

at 12 pm, we back toenter  harry potter world, and the magic music play teng neng neng neng neng deng de deng, wooooowwwww  my heart beating, feel like in hogwarts, the pinus tree in the jugle, the Weasley car,the train,  no no no I can't explain more detail, but the place is really Hogwart's duplicate. 

Than....................... there is Hogwarts gate and the castle!!!!!!!! Welcome to the all wizard! First we will welcomed by Hogsmade Village, we can spot Honeydukes shop, Olivanders, zanko's,  flinch emporium and also The Three Broomstick, you know this is really famous bar where the wizard drink butterbear, oh oh feel like live at Hogsmade.

When satisfied taking much picture and drunk a big glss of butterbaer, I tried some attraction in here, like Hogwarts castle walk and harry potter and the Forbidden journey in 4K3D. Base on me, I highly recommended to try the harry potter and the forbidden journey. That's really amazing attraction for potter head, it will lead you experiance and travel through the massive castle gates, enter Hogwarts school, explore dumbledore office, Griffindor common room and the defance Against the dark Arts class, overall that's really unforgettable journey.

Every following service like rest rooms and restaurant in The wizarding world of harry potter are seems to hogwarts, especially the ret room, you can hear the voice of Maryltin "Merana" hihih. After play at Forbidden journey, we dining at The Broomstick and surprised with the porsion, very big :D

This is The Broomstick might be like in real life! One of wizard bar at Hogsmade village! Tomorrow talks on blog about my one day Experiance at the Wizarding of Harry Potter World. Stay tune Potterhead!

Overall, the wizarding world of Harry potter same like in my imagination. The area of Hogwarts Castle, the Hogsmeade where wizards reside and also many shops and restaurants. Also I can enjoy and heard the choir of Hogwarts and there is also attractions  from four of Hogwarts house : Griffindor, slytherin, Hufflepiff and Reveclaw.









But, the important part is, I can enjoy the whole time with my lovely familiy. See my boy run everywhere, laugh and scream together. It was perfect day to spend our last day in Japan.

When the sun has set, there is a time when we must leave Universal studio Japan, also the Harry Potter World. In our last night in Osaka, shopping a gift is a must. Out from USJ 6,30 pm we head to Dotonbori,one of Osaka's popular tourist destination for shopping, eating, and entertainment . Located around namba stations, at the night Dotonburi area turn into sea of human. If you want buy Kitkat greentea, and other japan foods, you cad find it easily in here.

This morning, I was woke up very late. No one of us woke up early morning like usually. Me, actually I feel like never gonna leave this bed, feel so tired, very sleepy and feel so lazy. Maybe on next trip, if will  have more than 10 days, I must make empty schedule for one day.

Ohayo from Kyoto! After 12 hours finally we're here! We left the crowded city ; Tokyo!

Do you want to know how finally I reach Kyoto? It's totally crazy! You guys better to prepare it for a long time if you want entering Kyoto on your travel internary. Especially in Spring. In spring, many people going to Kyoto, many festival during spring maube that's why Kyoto is very popular destinantion.

My mistake not prepare it very well. So, if you going to Kyoto, the cheapest and economic way is by a Bus. The fastest is by Shinkansen. If you have JR pass and don't have to worry about money, you lucky. Because I don't have JR pass, so the economic way for me is using Bus.

One week before went to Japan, I tried to book online Bus ticket, the recommended website is WILLER bus, I'm very shock when see the ticket price! The cheapest rate from Tokyo-Kyoto is 9000 ¥!!!!! In rupiah around 1.100.000, it's crazy fare! So decided to buy bus ticket to kyoto in Tokyo.

When I arrived at Kyoto, we went to Buy the ticket at Shinjuku Bus station. But no more ticket to Kyoto, only left for Osaka. So I take it. At 8.30 pm bus left Tokyo, I almost miss the bus beacause in the morning I went to Kawaguchiko. Detail about my journey to Kawaguchiko I will write later, because that really long journey, make me so tired 😭

The bus is clean, but very (sempit), my baby crying along the night. Me and my husband can't sleep enough, he just crying because he's not comfortable with the bus seat. And my baby also fever. Ah I'm very mad! This the worse experiance for me, This not the first time my baby going to travel, but I don't know what happend with him 😭 I can't sleep well and when arrive at Osaka station at 6 am, I'm just like a zombie. And when meet with his stroller he sleep very well.

We are using local train to Osaka, only 1 hour from Kyoto to Osaka. With express train just 30 minutes. I choose the cheaper one. and trying to sleep at the train.  Arrived at Kyoto station, we're heading to our appartment, put our luggage, washed our face,change clothes and continue our day in Kyoto.

My today plan is ; Experiance Yukata.

Where to rent? Here is the link yumeyakata.com

iIrecommended ths Kimono Rental because they have a lot of Kimono choice. We pay 3500 ¥ for rent a set of Yukata. If you want Japannase make up and hair do will need a charge. Just open the link for detail.

Yihaaaaaaaa! Finally We're wearing Yukata in Japan! Let's photo stop hunting 😍

First we are going to Kiyomizudera Temple. From Yumiyukata just catch the bus. I'm forget the bus number, but you can ask the people ^^

Then.. Arashima Bambo Forest. to reach Arashiyama, the fastest way is by train. but we little bit confuse about the train route, so we decided back to Kyoto Station by bus, and go to Arashimaya by bus from Kyoto station. Arashiyama located outside the town, so need one hour drive to Arashiyama.

from bus stop, we must walked 10 minutes the reach the Bamboo forest.

All of us were tired and run of the time to return the Yukata. can't see more :( I think, many must to see in Arashimaya, but we don't have enough time. You better to prepare 3 hour if you want explore Arashimaya. Arashimaya is really nice and beautiful place.

strolling around

Noted : You better to Buy Kyoto Bus Pass when in Kyoto. It will save your money rather than pay cash to the bus driver. Mostly the tourist attraction in Kyoto can reach by Bus. Such as ; Gion, Arashimaya, Kiyomizudera, Fushimi Inari, Ginkakuji temple and more.
