I visited Dotonbori recently and finally understood why the famous Glico Running Man is such a huge deal in Japan.
What surprised me most is that it actually started as a candy advertisement back in 1935 🍬
Now it feels more like the identity of Osaka itself. Everyone was stopping to recreate the pose — even a random Spider-Man street performer joined in 😂
Visited the iconic Hachikō Memorial Statue in Shibuya, and honestly it felt more emotional than I expected.
Knowing the story of Hachikō waiting every single day for his owner at the station makes this place feel special in a completely different way. The area was crowded, but everyone still stopped for photos and quietly appreciated the moment.
Japan really knows how to preserve stories that touch people across generations 🐕🇯🇵
Standing in front of the Mirror of Erised at the Harry Potter Studio in Japan honestly felt unreal ✨
For a second it really felt like I was inside Hogwarts.
The details, the lighting, the whole vibe — everything was magical.
Definitely one of my favorite moments from Japan ⚡🪞
