My Japanese Aman Experience

IMG_2833
gosh, it feels really great being taken care of. from my arrival at the train station, to my check in experience, to my room, to the pool, and to everything that happens at Amanemu. the staff is amazing and offer the best service in the world.

when i’m in the best hands like this, i sit back and observe every single detail. then i process everything and think how i can better myself. so when i go back to hawaii, i can give everybody the best experience too.

i’ve never been in a hotel like this in japan before. to tell you the truth, i didn’t even know a perfect room like this even exists. right when i walked into it, i felt like a king.

and omg, the view is specatular! breathtaking views with the most purest form of mother nature.

then it’s dinner time, so Inaida-san takes me to his secret deepest spot in japan. locally grown food cooked to the best. it’s called Nonchan! i love places like this because this shows me the true authentic japanese cooking. just like how my grandma use to do it.

it was so great to see Inaida-san and Yuki-san. we always have so much fun together. and always laughing so hard. and laughed even harder when Nonchan came out from behind the counter for the photo. haha!

gosh, this room is amazing! a private onsen overlooking mother nature. i jumped into the onsen 5 times! and gosh, my skin feels so smooth!

bedtime. i can’t read japanese but i’m sure this is a great message from a great hotel. my Aman experience has come to an end but i’m hoping to come back.
thank you Inaida-san for this wonderful Aman experience! great to see you and Yuki-san so healthy and happy. i always envy your wonderful dream life.

City Seafood Lunch

IMG_2814
i couldn’t believe how hot it was in osaka. i could feel the ground heating up.
IMG_2815
i just love walking through department stores. checking out the seafood is a must.
IMG_2816
a giant aweoweo! $74? wow!
IMG_2817
and i seen a giant nabeta too.
IMG_2818
$55? so expensive! i remember i speared one of these on shikoku. and i remember it was pretty dam easy. so if i have to look for another job, i’d either be an amasan or fisherman. and i’d be rich!
IMG_2819
i had to catch a long train ride so i picked up a bento. umm, so hard to choose!
IMG_2827
this was so delicious! only $8. i would eat this everyday if we had it back in hawaii.
IMG_2826
i love long train rides. gives me time to stare out the window thinking about my life. time i don’t really have back home in hawaii.
IMG_2831
it’s the first time i’ve been out to this side. it was so beautiful! the land of the amasan!
