LA Style Los Angeles

This is my second time visiting Los Angeles. This time, I visited not only the tourist spots, but also the more local areas such as the downtown area and residential areas. The hotel I stayed at, the Freehand Los Angeles, is a well-equipped hotel with a rooftop bar and a pool. You can stay in a dormitory for about 5,000 yen, or a single room for around 30,000 yen. Although there are homeless people in downtown, it is not particularly dangerous, and transportation is convenient. The metro costs $1.75 and you can transfer for free within two hours, so you can easily access Santa Monica and Hollywood. The night view from Griffith Observatory is also wonderful, and there are many supermarkets in the city. In particular, Mexican supermarkets are relatively cheap even in the high prices, and it was convenient to get ingredients. Los Angeles is not as orderly as Japan, but it is a cool city with a mysterious charm. The climate is warm enough that you can wear short sleeves during the day even in winter, and you can enjoy sunbathing at the pool even in February. The Academy Awards are held in March, so it is also recommended to visit at this time. Once you visit, you will want to return. It was such an attractive city that you will want to go back again and again. #0yentravelFebruary2025
