Rumah Dharma Jogjakarta: Where To Stay Near The Borobudur Temple

The last time we visited Borobudur was when Kiddos#1 about 2 years old and I was expecting Kiddos#2. Almost ten years later, we took them once more to see the magnificent Borobudur temple.

Rumah Dharma Borobudur was chosen by mr.husband. The location was perfect, just minutes away from the entrance to Borobudur. Actually we could just walk, but it was super hot, so we went to the temple by car.

What I love most about Rumah Dharma Borobudur is the garden with swimming pool and beautiful view to the rice field. Somehow it felt like we were in Ubud :)

A Daytrip From Hiroshima to Miyajima Island

Our Japan trip was supposed to be only covering Osaka and Kyoto as we wanted to do a coffeeshop hopping around the two cities. But one day, mr.husband told me his plan, "Let's include Hiroshima in our trip. There's an island called Miyajima, a really lovely place to visit!"

Then I remember surfing on the internet regarding the Miyajima Island and I fell in love with the place. Well, yes I am easy to fall in love with beautiful places with less crowd and great view.

Miyajima Island was suddenly on our itinerary as a daytrip from Hiroshima. We bought an overnight bus ticket from Kobe to Hiroshima for this special visit to Miyajima. And if I have the chance to explore Hiroshima all over again, there will be a second visit to Miyajima Island for sure :)

Visiting Kyoto in Summer? Let's Try The Nagashi Somen at Hirobun Restaurant in Kibune

Just few days before our departure to Osaka, I saw on youtube people having what so called "Nagashi Somen". "Somen" is very thin noodle, made from wheat flour, serves as a cold noodle in summer. While "Nagashi" means "flowing".

I searched on google that the most famous restaurant serving Nagashi Somen is Hirobun in Kibuneguchi. We visited Kibune previously in winter (you may want to check my post in this link), and this time we had a chance to visit Kibune in summer.

Nagashi Somen is served between May to September, and we decided to have it a try during our summer trip to Kyoto.
