Nara 🦌 Uji 🍦 Universal Studios Osaka

On the second day, take the JR to Nara to see the deer 🦌

Nara 🦌

Saw Conan

What’s shocking 🤯 is that the deer 🦌 are walking leisurely on the streets and mingling with cars 🚗

Not sure if it’s because of a bad stomach, I had to use the public restroom and was surprised to find that it even had a toilet seat cover. From now on, I don’t have to worry about having diarrhea when traveling in Japan.

Afterwards, I took close-up photos of the deer. Accidentally, one of the silly deer stabbed me with its antlers and my bag was flipped open, causing my travel guidebook to fall out.

And then…

When I was young, I had heard that sheep 🐑 could eat paper. I never expected to see it with my own eyes.

Since I had seen the various attack modes of the deer 🦌, I had to seek help from the staff, but I couldn’t find them after searching for a while. The silly deer 🦌 had to rely on itself and hopefully would not have diarrhea.

Uji 🍦

Had a casual Japanese lunch and unexpectedly, it exceeded my expectations. Passed by a Japanese orthopedic clinic and then went to Uji to have matcha ice cream 🍦 and matcha tea 🍵

Just finished eating and my friend immediately took me back to Osaka. It turned out that we went to Uji just for the ice cream 🍦…

Universal Studios Osaka

Early next morning, I went to Universal Studios.

There was a globe 🌍 at the entrance that frequently appears in movies.

Then, to my surprise, I discovered that Minions, Spider-Man, and Despicable Me are all part of the Universal Studios IP.

Since Universal Studios is very large with many themes, if you want to experience them all, you have to stay at least one night inside. However, I later found out that the one in Los Angeles, California, USA is the largest and takes several days. On the other hand, the one in Singapore is small and can be completed in a day. But that’s a story for another time, so let’s not dwell on it for now.

The Hollywood Dream

From a distance, screams could be heard. It reminded me of the roller coaster 🎢 scenes in the movie Final Destination. But seeing the passengers getting on and off safely, I figured it should be fine. I just had to adjust my fear 😨.

And indeed, that was the case. Thanks to the Express 🔜 Pass 🎫, I bypassed the long line and got on the ride directly.

The Hollywood Dream can be ridden forwards or backwards. The staff said that it’s less scary to ride it backwards. Naturally, I chose to ride it forwards.

The ride was okay, except for the part where it drops vertically, which felt quite intense. Then there were several consecutive spins that created a strong centrifugal force. I always felt like the tracks were not enough to support the turns and that I would be flung out just like in the movies.

But that didn’t happen, and the ride ended safely.

So, roller coasters 🎢 are subjective. My friend was scared to death and screamed all the way, saying that they should have ridden it backwards. Thankfully, they did not buy the Express Pass for the Flying Dinosaur.

On the other hand, I thought it was okay. I laughed happily with the girl next to me throughout the entire ride. I even thought, according to the Bridgewalking Effect, she might have fallen in love with me.

Jurassic Park

My friend, who had checked the guidebook, threw a raincoat at me and said I would need it later. Along the way, I saw some fake dinosaurs 🦕 and the sudden appearance of a Tyrannosaurus rex 🦖 trying to scare me. I remained indifferent and arrived at a black building. It slowly ascended and then the boat dropped suddenly, splashing the front row of passengers with water. Well, it’s different when you’re prepared ✌

The Flying Dinosaur

Unlike the Hollywood Dream, riders on the Flying Dinosaur are fixed in their seats, rotating 90 degrees to face the ground, and then ascending slowly.

However, this time I didn’t feel much. Firstly, the person next to me wasn’t a girl, and secondly, it was already late and it was difficult to see clearly. All I felt was being dragged up and spun a few times before coming down.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Passing through a long forest path accompanied by the hooting of an owl 🦉, I gradually entered a magical world.

Inside, there was Butterbeer 🧈 🍺, wanted posters from Azkaban, and various other things.

Ollivanders Wand Shop 🪄

An NPC randomly chose a child and reenacted the scene where Harry chooses his wand. The rest of the people in the shop acted as bystanders downstairs.

Afterwards, with the wand I bought, I could cast spells and start a fire.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

I watched a 3D movie in a small car, following Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they participated in the Quidditch match.

Wow, it was really fun.

Yodobashi Camera

It was already late when we left Universal Studios. Although I was tired from all the fun, my friend still had the energy to go to Yodobashi Camera and buy a toilet seat cover, a rice cooker, and a bunch of other electronics…
