I’m absolutely obsessed with this manhole cover.
Seriously, why does Japan make people like it so much? (For travel, I mean.)
I heard there’s a really famous shrine here, but I passed by and didn’t go!
I was so annoyed because the train ticket from Kawaguchiko was insanely expensive. And I honestly didn’t really get why I had to sit facing backward. It wasn’t very comfortable.
I walked all the way from Shimoyoshida, I think? I don’t really remember, and I got a nosebleed once on the way to Mt. Fuji Station.
It was way too hot. April really shouldn’t be that hot.
And then I got another nosebleed at Mt. Fuji Station?
Like, why though!!!
But that manhole cover is so detailed, right?
It wasn’t dirty at all, and the colors were really pretty.
It honestly made me feel so happy looking at it.

Monkey D. Luffy Statue
With over 500 million copies in circulation worldwide as of 2020, ONE PIECE has become one of Japan’s most iconic manga series.
It was raining that day. I hope I can collect all of the ONE PIECE statues someday!
There was also a handprint below it, and my hand is tiny.
When I put my hand on it, theirs was way bigger than mine. But I don’t have a photo, so I’m not sure if I deleted it... so sad. I was taking photos nonstop the whole trip in Japan.
Maybe because it was raining, I got to take a good photo with Luffy~
But honestly, I like Levi more.
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t find anything here about Attack on Titan in Hita, only Oita...
Whenever I see Luffy doing this pose, it makes me want to copy it too hahaha. Do everyone’s photos end up with the same pose? -

Kushida Shrine
This head shrine is said to have been built in the 8th century. Residents in Hakata call it “Okushida san.” Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival declares the arrival of summer to the City of Hakata in July, and is dedicated to this shrine.
Honestly, I don’t really remember much about this place. I basically only came because everyone said it’s famous and that you should visit, hahaha.
It was definitely unique, but what I liked was... was it the crane? I thought it was really delicate.
And there was also one with huge nostrils.
Uh, is saying that going to offend anyone?
But the komainu really did have super big nostrils, and it was so cute.
Don’t you think it’s kind of hilarious?
I’m calling it the "broken dog." -

Mizuki Shigeru Road
Mizuki Shigeru Road was established in 1993. The 800-meter-long street from Sakaiminato Station to the Mizuki Shigeru Museum is lined with 177 bronze yokai sculptures.
I seriously, absolutely loved this street.
I kept taking photos the whole way. I actually wasn’t planning to stay that long, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. It was so awesome.
There are so many works here... I guess that’s how I’d put it?
This is where I have to mention the iPhone.
There’s a new feature that lets you cut things out and turn them into stickers,
and these were especially perfect for that.
Hahahaha, I seriously loved it.
And it has so much attitude, don’t you think?
There are sarcastic ones,
slapping ones,
silly ones too,
and a ton of stunned-looking ones.
I can even tell stories with these pictures, hahaha. If you’re interested, follow my IG.
If I get more than 10 likes, I’ll post my own IG too hahaha (probably).
Also, I’m not very good with punctuation.
I honestly don’t really know how to use periods or break things into paragraphs. -
