When traveling, I always keep a box of Seirogan in my luggage. After all, there are so many opportunities to enjoy good food on a trip that an occasional upset stomach is hard to avoid〜
Seirogan does have a distinctive smell, but taking just one when I have diarrhea, loose stools, or digestive discomfort from something I ate works really well.
Medicinal Pyuora Toothpaste [quasi-pharmaceutical products]
This medicated toothpaste was developed for periodontal troubles such as stickiness, bad breath, and gingivitis. It comes in three types: Clean Mint, Strong Mint, and Mild Herb.
I really like how fresh it feels after brushing without being overly harsh. It's great to use after eating or before bed. Besides keeping my mouth clean by brushing every day, I also hope to keep my teeth bright and my breath fresh.
Osaka Station City
Osaka Station City opened in 2011 as a "city" where train stations, department stores, commercial facilities, recreational opportunities, hotels, offices, services, and plazas come together. It celebrated its 10th anniversary in May 2021.
It's more than just a place to catch a train. The surrounding area is also filled with department stores, restaurants, shops, and plenty of recreational spaces, making it very convenient to explore. What I like most is Osaka Station City's modern architecture and spacious layout. Especially when you go up high and look out over Osaka, you can see a cityscape filled with tall buildings and streets, with a different charm during the day and at night.
Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlet
Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlet is the largest outlet shopping mall in West Japan. The outlet mall is designed as a “open sophisticated town for adults” modeled after Pasadena, a high-class residential suburb of Los Angeles.
There's a wide selection of brands here, including clothing, shoes, bags, and sports brands, with plenty of discounted items as well. It's a great place to take your time hunting for finds. When you get tired from shopping, you can stop at a cafe to rest and grab a bite, making for a relaxing half day.
The best part this time was browsing for things I liked while enjoying the beautiful streetscape. Finding something to take home felt so rewarding!
