Osaka & Kyoto: A retro cartoon travelogue
Japan is a land of anime fantasy turned reality. If you are into Studio Ghibli movies and nostalgic Japanese anime cartoons, you would be delighted to turn your Japan travel photos into authentic retro cartoons with the help of SNOW AI profile app. It makes for unique travel storytelling. Seeing yourself as a cartoon character in Japan is so fun. Travel adventure reimagined as a cartoon story!
We visited Kyoto and Osaka lately and enjoyed the sights, sounds and culinary delights of these prefectures. Just like any other Japanese city, Osaka and Kyoto exceeded our expectations and it's like we stepped into a different dimension where everything we see in cartoon movies just came to life! In this little travelogue, I am exploring the sights in my retro cartoonized self. So kawaii!

ReplyDeleteThe charm of retro-style Japan beautifully ties into the love for timeless, premium stationery.
