Monday 6th November 2017. 16:30 Mt.Kongo Osaka.
On our descent from Kongo San we were greeted by beautiful golden hour light combined with the awesome autumn colours of the mountain was perfect. We also came across the most amazing tree which looked like it had started as one but has split during it’s growth, it was huge!

Monday 6th November 2017. 14:00 Mt.Kongo Osaka.
We reached the summit after about an hour and 30/40 minutes climbing. There is actually nothing more satisfying than climbing a big old mountain. I’ve always loved hiking, ever since I was little, and to be able to it here so regularly is amazing.
Although it was a beautiful sunny day there was a haze over the city so we couldn’t actually see anything below haha but still rewarding nonetheless. I would love to come back here when it’s covered in snow, that would be something special. They say the best time to come is in February so we’ll see!

Sunday 5th November 2017. 17:30 Osaka Castle Park.
We spent a couple of hours mooching around the park and we came across the festival parade leaving the park grounds. It was super dark but the carts looked so cool all lit up. There was so much energy, the men were tipping the carts up and down, running backwards and forwards, chanting, singing, everything. Such a vibe. Nice Sunday.

Sunday 5th November 2017. 14:30 Osaka Castle Park.
Osaka Castle Park (大阪城公園 Osaka-Jō-Kōen) is a public urban park and historical site situated at Osaka-Jō in Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan. It lies on the south of the Ōkawa (Kyū-Yodo River) and occupies a large area in the centre of the city of Osaka. This park is the second largest park in the city.
This place is so close to my house, 2 stops down on the train or a 25 minute bike ride. Perfect.
We jumped on the train and went for a wander. We were greeted by a huge festival, we had no idea this was taking place, but there was such a great vibe and everything was so loud! We walked up to the castle and sat on the top of the turrets watching the sunset over the city. The koyo looked amazing too.

I couldn’t reach the waterfall today but one of the hiking trails was still open so I decided to hike up to one of the viewpoints instead. This was definitely a good decision as I was just in time to watch the sunset. It was a short hike but very steep. The view was beautiful and the golden hour light was even better.

Still surreal that I actually live here now. I wonder how long it’s going to take me to settle in?

It was a beautiful autumn day today so I decided to head out early and go for a stroll around my new neighbourhood. My house is super to Sanadayama park which I didn’t realise had it’s own baseball field, tennis courts, swimming pool and running track! All on my doorstep; this is great. The colours of the Koyo in the park this morning were awesome too; so nice to have this small piece of nature next to my house within the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Wednesday 1st November 2017. 16:00 Osaka Japan.
This was the first glimpse of how a lot of my sunsets are going to look from now on inside the big city. It was day 2 of commuting from my new apartment in Osaka, everything is still up in the air, but I’m happy to be living and working in the same city already.
