March is bright and the scenery is beautiful.

After Yunluo finished the third book signing event, he took the car driven by Shimizu Tanaka back to the hotel. When he walked to the room and opened the door, he saw Xiangchu Junzi in a pink and blue dress kneeling down and saying in a soft and charming voice, "Master, welcome back."

"Yeah." Yun Luo responded, not moved by Xiang Chu Chunzi's charm. The girl stood up softly, took off Yun Luo's coat and hung it on the hanger, then took the initiative to follow Yun Luo to the snow-white sofa. After Yun Luo sat down, Xiang Chu Chunzi used her slender fingers to pinch Yun Luo's shoulders and gave him a full body massage, which was very well-behaved.

The red rat Tangtang lazily dozed on the pillow of the bedroom bed. For a level 4 alien beast, it was not a big deal to watch over a human. Especially since Tangtang was a fake treasure-hunting rat with amazing breath tracking ability, otherwise it could not be called treasure-hunting, although Tangtang did not find any treasure for Yunluo.

People's attitude towards each other will change. Xiang Chujunzi's gentleness, sweetness and coquettishness, even if it is pretended, as long as it is well pretended, Yunluo doesn't care much. During the trip to Japan, having such a caring and lovely person like Xiang Chujunzi by his side, warming the bed, massaging and kneeling to comfort him, is still very pleasing and comfortable.

Yun Luo temporarily put aside the idea of ​​killing Xiang Chu Chunzi. He didn't really care about the treasures he would have to spend to save Xiang Chu Chunzi. To him, doing good or evil was just a matter of thought. Whether Xiang Chu Chunzi lived or died was also just a matter of thought.

If Xiang Chu Chunzi cannot make Yun Luo feel at ease, Yun Luo doesn't mind doing some small things like killing his sister to prove his truth.

After Xiang Chu Junzi's careful full body massage, Yunluo took a comfortable bath and took Xiang Chu Junzi to leave the Izu Peninsula and go to Osaka, where the fourth autograph session was held.

…

After arriving in Osaka, I found that Japan is far more than the romantic cherry blossoms and delicious sushi that Yunluo had imagined before. I could also feel a sense of time travel: I was in the modern and prosperous Namba Park Shopping Center the previous second, and when I turned a corner, it was as if time had gone back, and I suddenly came to the quaint alleys of Hozenji Temple.

Although Xiang Chujunzi was a pure Japanese girl, she had rarely left her family's manor. She held Yunluo's arm and looked around quietly, but her movements were very small, and her eyes were soft and graceful.

The fashionable men and women in Shinsaibashi are dazzling, and the little monk dressed as Ikkyu has caught the attention of Yunluo and others, so they keep traveling between fashion and classicism.

On the first day of arriving in Osaka, Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi checked into Nankai Osaka Fraser Residence. Ahem, it must be said that Yunluo's food, drink, entertainment and accommodation in Japan can all be reimbursed. As long as the receipt is issued, Sony Publishing and Sony Music will each pay for half. Yunluo can be said to be spending Japanese money to travel in Japan, which is so cool.

The island nation is very particular about details, and Yunluo really felt this kind of attention to detail during this trip. The standard room of the hotel is grandly equipped with a kitchen with full set of tableware, washing machine and dryer, etc., and there are also Chinese, Japanese and English user guides attached to each item. Such thoughtfulness makes Yunluo feel that he is not staying in a foreign country, but living at home.

Looking out of the bright windows, you can see the Namba Parks, a garden-style shopping mall across the street. This kind of up-close and open view can only be enjoyed at Fraser Residences and Swissotel across the street. From a distance, it is a green sloping park, a rare oasis in the concrete jungle. Even if you don't shop, it is a wonderful thing to take a walk and drink tea in the stepped garden.

In Namba Park, whether you are a shopaholic or not, you can enjoy a lot. The shops in the square are scattered in an orderly manner. There are electronic touch screens on each floor to check the business information. Visitors can also inquire about the store location at the International Travel Agency Information Center on the first floor.

It was already late when we came out of Namba Park. Since we were in Osaka, which is known as the kitchen of Japan, we had to seize the opportunity to enjoy ourselves. Osaka got this name because all the daily necessities of the Japanese had to be transported from all over Japan to Osaka. Then they were transported to other regions and even abroad.

The essence of Japanese kitchens is in Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, which are just across the street from Namba Parks. Standing at the intersection of Shinsaibashi, huge food light box advertisements impact visitors' sight with overwhelming momentum: domineering crabs, round pufferfish and snarling octopuses, which are clearly a naked provocation to foodies.

Passing by a restaurant, tourists rushed to take photos with a man wearing a red and white striped jumpsuit and a tricorn hat. It turned out that this popular cartoon character is called Kuidaore Taro, and he is the spokesperson for this popular restaurant. Kuidaore Taro means that there are too many delicious foods in Osaka, and you will eat so much that you will fall down on the roadside.

A few years ago, the restaurant temporarily closed due to lack of funds. It was this big star who opened the door to welcome customers again while beating the taiko drum. Since then, the restaurant's business has been getting better and better.

Coming out of Shinsaibashi, I looked up and saw the neon sign of Nobunaga Bookstore. The bookstore was on the second floor. Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi walked up the stairs and bumped into a handsome man who was coming down the stairs. He glanced at Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi with a little surprise in his eyes. When passing by him, Yunluo smiled and said to Xiangchu Junzi: "Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"

Yunluo took Xiangchu Junzi into the store and asked the male clerk where the postcard was. He was even more shocked and petrified for more than ten seconds before shaking his head. Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi looked around the bookstore and found that it was a yellow bookstore! Here is a warning to all female tourists: If you see a chain bookstore named Nobunaga in Osaka, please be careful.

Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi ate so much in Shinsaibashi that they came to a pub. They were burping and wondering if they wanted to eat more. Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi turned into the narrow alley next to the pub. The shops on both sides of the alley were hung with traditional Japanese paper lanterns. The blue-gray stone road after the rain flickered under the lights.

Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi seemed to have stepped into a time tunnel, which was intoxicating. If a geisha with small steps or a samurai with a sword happened to pass by, Yunluo would really go up and ask what dynasty they were in.

Yunluo was pulled back from his whimsical thoughts. It turned out that this quiet alley in the bustling city was the famous Hozenji Yokocho. Yokocho means alley. Hozenji Yokocho is about 80 meters long and more than 2 meters wide, extending from east to west. It was named after the Hozenji Temple, which is only 10 square meters in the center of the alley.

I first heard of the novel "Couple Zenzai" by the Japanese rogue writer Oda Sakunosuke. The protagonists of the novel, Yanagi and Sakai, once visited a dessert shop called Couple Zenzai in Hozenji Yokocho, where they shared a bowl of rice cake red bean soup. The clever shop owner gave the red bean soup the auspicious meaning of a couple, and lovers and couples who eat together will have a happy life.

Any place that is named as a filming location for a famous movie will most likely become a popular tourist attraction. After the novel was made into a movie, the alley of Hozenji Temple became famous, and the Fukuzenzai dessert shop also became a popular store.

There is only a small pavilion, a statue of Acala and a small well for drawing water in Hozenji Temple. During the Pacific War, the area around Hozenji Temple was burned down, but Acala remained unmoved. Legend has it that this deity holds a sword in one hand and a rope in the other, and cuts off bad karma for people. His original appearance is fierce.

The reason why he transformed into Yue Lao was because a female pilgrim once poured water on Ming Wang while praying for a good match. Later generations followed suit, and Ming Wang successfully changed his job, and his body was covered with moss that never disappeared.

Speaking of temples, we have to mention Sumiyoshi Shrine, another famous place in Osaka. To visit it, you must first take the Hanshin Railway. Standing on the platform of the train, I felt like Harry Potter arrived at Platform 9 3/4. The Japanese aesthetic of simplicity and indifference was once again confirmed, and there were no extra decorations on the platform.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

An exquisite green train is enough to arouse the tourists' reverie, as if a romantic love story will be staged at any time. The train carried Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi from the downtown to the torii gate of the quiet Sumiyoshi Shrine. You can't joke in front of the gods, so Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi put away their laughter and listened seriously to the legends of the shrine.

Every shrine or shrine in Japan has a torii gate, which is located at the entrance of the shrine's main road, marking the gate to the divine realm. After passing through the torii gate, you will see a small vermilion bridge in front of you. Its scientific name is the anti-bridge, which is the arch bridge mentioned by Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi. Because it is shaped like a drum, it is also called the Taiko Bridge, which connects the human world with the divine realm like a rainbow.

After crossing the bridge, you will enter the world of gods. Before crossing the bridge, you should wash your hands and rinse your mouth with clean water at the hand-washing house under the bridge to cleanse your body and mind. Sumiyoshi Shrine is the chief guardian shrine of Osaka. It enshrines the gods of the sea and other ancient Japanese gods. At that time, Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty would come to worship the sea god before setting off to pray for smooth sailing.

The four main shrines in the shrine are like fleets sailing on the sea. They are all national treasures. When you worship, you must start from the first main shrine and not give up halfway. Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi came to Sanjiawu to experience making Japanese udon by themselves.

When you walk into the restaurant, you will be greeted by a strong smell of curry. The first floor is full of diners eating noodles, and the sound of slurping can be heard one after another. In general table manners, making noises while eating is considered impolite, but in Japan it expresses love for food and appreciation for the chef.

Sanjiawu is an old noodle shop with a history of more than 20 years. The owner, Mr. Hironobu Maeyama, has been making udon noodles for more than 30 years. The signature face at the door of the shop is a portrait of Mr. Maeyama.

Yunluo and Xiangchu Junzi sat down on the tatami on the second floor, and Mr. Maeyama demonstrated how to make udon noodles. He cut the rolled noodles evenly with a knife. It seemed simple, but when Xiangchu Junzi actually tried it, the noodles she cut were of different thicknesses. It turned out that cutting udon noodles also requires skill and experience.

Xiang Chu Chunzi couldn't bear to torment these innocent noodles any more, and finally shamelessly enjoyed the fruits of the master's labor with Yun Luo. A big bowl of udon dipped in thick curry sauce, topped with tempura, picked up a chopstick and put it into the mouth, swallowed it down, this is the taste! (To be continued...)
