I forgot that my first tickets were for two people and had been canceled, so no matter how many times I scanned them at the machine, they wouldn't work! My Japanese sister took me to the service counter to ask for help, and thankfully, they printed physical tickets for me 😄. The service counters in Japan are really great; they get everything done in one go 👍, and I was able to get on the train without any problems. I think this experience reminded me that I have to delete canceled tickets so I don't waste too much time messing around in front of the machine!

Due to my own carelessness, I wasn't able to exchange the tickets successfully because I scanned a QR code that had already been canceled. Thankfully, with the help of a friend, everything was completed smoothly, and I finally got the physical tickets sorted out.

No need to exchange for physical tickets, just use the QR code on your phone to enter the station. It's very convenient and saves time, highly recommended to purchase.

The Hotel is very nice to stay at because it is so closed to and walking distance to Dotonbori, the Glico Man, the Mega DonQui, 7-11 Convenience Store, train stations, and subways. So easy checking-in. After a day-long walking within Osaka, or Nara, or Kyoto, I enjoyed it much having a dip in the hotel's warm-watered bath tub. Complete supplies that can be collected at the lobby.

Trying on a kimono that day was truly a unique experience. First, there was the furisode, so wide and large that the sleeves almost brushed the ground. The material was fine silk, embroidered with delicate cherry blossom patterns, smooth to the touch. The master dresser who helped me dress was extremely skilled, wrapping layer upon layer, starting with the juban, then the nagajuban, and finally the gorgeous outer robe. The sash was tied so tightly that it almost took my breath away. I suppose this is why Japanese women are always soft-spoken and act so gently—being bound so tightly, no one could stride or speak loudly. A small pillow-like object was inserted into the waist; the master dresser said it was an "obiage" used to secure the wide obi belt. The obi knot was tied in the back, very intricate, and I was told there are various styles, but mine was just the most common. This attire has a certain dignity, as if you're not just wearing a garment, but putting on a whole set of behavioral norms. Looking in the mirror, the person reflected suddenly seemed much more reserved. My back straightened involuntarily, my head lowered slightly, and even my smile became more subtle. The beauty of the kimono probably lies not in how it adorns the body, but in how it restrains the heart, teaching people to quiet down from the outside in. Wearing this garment felt like draping an entire culture over my body.
