Jaja in Japan

I love Japan. I never thought that I'll be able to explore this place. As you all know how expensive this country is. Thank you to numerous bloggers who made through their way in exploring this country first and they we're able to share tips and insights on how to travel to Japan at a low cost. 

Before I share my Jaja in Japan Travel. I would like to say Thank you to Cathy who became my travel companion from Kyoto to Osaka to Himeji. To Jeanette for accommodating us. To Sadie for becoming our companion in Japan and Aimi who became our translator and helping us around. More than the reasons that I've mentioned, I am thankful to met you guys. I could not imagine Japan without you likewise, you'll still have us wherever we are. Arigatou! 

To all the people we met along the way and became our instant friends - there's no strangers in traveling. Thank you for all of you who made this journey possible.

It all started a year ago when I gathered all the information on how to travel to Japan for less than 30K. I read a lot of Filipino Travel Blogs in the webby and talked to some friends who have been to this country before. The good thing about me going to Japan was I went to South Korea 7 months prior so I was saving a big chunk for 2 countries with a 7 month gap, all at the same time, which for me was  lot easier. After all, I am a budget traveler. 

Within that 1 year of preparation, we also headed to SMX Travel Expo, Cathy and I kept tagging each other about Japan through FB, read countless times about the train passes, we met up twice just to fix our itinerary including our travel expenses. We remember how we were during college. It was like that - we study and after all of the preparation it's as if we need to pass a test. The application of visa became our qualifier and the approval was like passing a licensure exam and so we did. - we did pass. Among the visas that I've gone through, this one - was the most precious. Japan was a dream that it made me cry (it made us cry.) I dunno but  this is one of the decisions in my life that made me feel right. I felt an achievement of realization that everything in life is possible. Anything that you can imagine can become a reality if you just believe.
