My first destination in Japan is Osaka. I flew to Japan with my girlfriend and my sister. As I’ve mentioned here, I fly with Jet Star for my trip. I didn’t get any meal in the flight, as expected, but I’ve loaded my backpack with breads and instant ramen to keep my hunger away. The flight was long and tiring. Due to my overwhelming excitement, I did not realize it until I reached the airport.
It took us 12 hours of journey in total to arrive at the Kansai International Airport, Osaka. Surprisingly, I had the best plane landing experience in this flight. I did not feel any bumps at all when the plane touches the ground. Never expected to get that from a budget airline like Jet Star.
In the airport I noticed that the Japanese custom is more strict than Australian custom. Every foreign passport holder is required to be photo and finger-printed by the custom officer. It’s a bit too much in my opinion, but they say that its a new measure to prevent terrorism act. Another thing that I noticed in the airport is that the conveyor belt is not as hectic as other airports I have been. It has got this red line where all the trolleys must not pass, allowing more people to wait in front of the conveyor belt. It makes it pretty well organized.
Before we went to the hotel, we had to wait for my parents and my grandmother. We’re planned to meet my parents and my grandmother at the airport. Their plane’s due to arrive one and a half hours after my flight, allowing me to wander around the airport to grab some meal and take a couple of shots of the Kansai airport, Osaka.
