Nara Deer Park+Daikakuji Temple+Shrine 

today we were going to Nara. after mengkaji Map Kansai Thru Pass tu, rupanya nak pergi ke sana senang jeaa hehe. thanks mr map ;)

sampai je dekat Kintetsu Nara station, we sent straight to tourist information center. ok lagi satu yang i like about Japan is bila setiap kali kitaorang rasa sesat je there'll always ada tourist information center dekat train station and shopping mall :D amaze jugak laa as if they know that we get lost sometimes. bayangkan bila nak transit to other line, mesti akan lalu dekat shopping mall because the exit ada dalam shopping mall . and the mall was so big that you tak tahu jalan nak ke the other subway line yang nak transit tu . sampai berpusing pusing lepas tu siap fikir "eh bukan ni kita dah lalu ke?" kemudian memeningkan lagi kepala azwa yang tengah mencari hahahaha *sorry azwaa ;p 

the lady in the tourist centre tu siap suggest lagi dekat kitaorang to walk to the Deer Park , temples and shrine dekat situ. " you should walk because the weather is so nice today "  *senyum .  belum sampai Nara Deer Park lagi dah disambut oleh para para Deer yang macam cute and tame tapi tak berapa tame? . hahaha. habis map yana pun Deer tu ambil and makan lol ;pp

map yana dah kena makan ..

In front of 5 storey Pagoda

Nara an ancient city. sebab tu temples and shrine are all veeery old. lagi satu, the park is a home to hundreds of freely roaming deers. the presence of deers yang banyak gila sampai bersepah around the 2 temples and a shrine dekat situ as considered as natural treasure . i read in the brochure , they said that zaman dedulu laa ada Deity came to the earth riding a white deer. therefore, agama Shinto considered them as  God Messengers :O . 

betapa baiknya Yana ni. map dah kena makan pun Yana still beri crackers haha ;p

these are all the lanterns 

after round round area Deer Park , bagi makan crackers dekat deers along with the temple and shrine it was almost dah nak masuk tengah hari. azwa kata nak pergi Kobe pula lepas tu sebab nak pergi Kobe Mosque *one of wishlist . we also plan nak cari tempat untuk lunch dekat sana je nanti. ( dah  packed our own nasi impit and brahim siap siap kat guesthouse )

Kobe Mosque

sampai dekat Kobe, me and yana plan nak try guna city bus. we went to tourist information centre dekat Kobe station and asked her macam mana nak naik bus . tujuan nya adalah sebab nak memaksimumkan penggunaan card kansai thru pass tu. ( 5,000JPY for the 3days pass. opss memang kena maximize kan nie ) thank god, that lady said ada bus yang pakai KTP :D . happy gila wehh masa tu sebab tak perlu nak jalan jauh pergi Kobe Mosque. *sakit lutut la saya ada osteoarthritis ;p sebab kalau jalan would take about 13mins juga nak sampai (1km distance -,- )

Kobe city is quite unique because the neighbourhood is located at lereng bukit. macam dekat cameron highlands laaa gitu . very nice neighbourhood and rasa happy sebab dapat jumpa masjid ! :D . walaupun masjid dia tak besar and luas macam masjid dekat malaysia. lepas tour kejap dalam masjid tu kitaorang rasa masjd ni which also functions as an islamic centre dekat Kobe, orang Indonesia yang uruskan , sebab masa kitaorang tengah lunch dalam masjid tu tiba tiba kitaorang terdengar orang indon tengah berborak sekali ada anak anak dia. tiba tiba anak anak dia cakap bahasa Jepun campur Endon . kitaorang cam ehhh ? pandai cakap Jepun! . fuhhh muka tak pun tak macam Indon!*ternganga masa makan :O

today juga rezeki datang luas *alhamdulillah . while tengah lunch tu tiba tiba ada tante datang bawa nasi briyani . dia suruh kitaorang habiskan ! ya allah menangis dah masa makan tu sebab semua lapar T.T  . alhamdulilllah :))) makasih tanteee !

Masa kitaorang nak balik to Kobe Sannomiya Station from the mosque, we got lost somehow  whereby kitaorang tak jumpa bus stop untuk get the same bus and balik semula ke subway station. so masa tu yana and azwa pergi to this one shop and asked a lady . kan kita semua tahu Japanese tak pandai speak English, so bila kitaorang tanya direction tu, she couldnt speak english and replied dalam bahasa Jepun.

Nak cerita dekat sini, i really do respect the citizen sebab even though diorang tak pandai speaking, tapi bila kita minta tolong, they were so helpful!! diorang tahu kita tak faham bahasa diorang tapi they really wanted to help in any possible ways! so that lady, because dia macam tak boleh speaking in english so dia buat macam macam hand gestures like.. go straight  to the front .. there was 'a building ' * tangan lukis petak cakap ada shop, building .. to the right .. to the left . bukan case lady ni jea masa bila ntah, i couldnt remember tapi masalah yang sama jugak la. kitaorang tak dapat nak cari exit subway ( to get the subway ), so we asked orang yang tengah jalan dekat situ since takde someone/guard in uniform yang kita nak tanya. nasib baik ada Liyana Onn yang pandai mandarin ! so when the lady said 'hana' ( kata yana maksudnya bunga . so what she meant is the subway exit dekat dengan area bunga bunga tu .LOL 😂😂😂😂 ) .

Kobe Harbourland

so sad , this time Hani and Fatin tak dapat nak ikut . they had to go back early sebab masa tu dah lewat petang and since rumah diorang agak jauh from the nearest station, diorang kena balik before gelap. agak laa rumah diorang sebenarnya agak scary nak jalan malam malam..

so four of us ( me azwa yana and az ) continue the journey! Lets go! .

mr amatuer's photograph. bukan kitaorang. hahaha

ever since sejak dari Nijo Castle tu, kitaorang kalau nak gambar ramai ramai ni memang akan cari yang tengah pegang dslr jea . our theory was orang yang ada dslr ni mesti pandai tangkap gambar  just like masa dekat Nijo Castle haritu. hahaha .  *cantik gilaa gambar ramai ramai dekat gardens tuu T.T  . see my post on part 3,itu lah hasil orang pandai main lens ><
