Japan Travelogue P2 - Osaka

We made a mistake on this day to travel early to Shin Osaka..we got caught in the morning train crowds and it was a terrible experience. It would be at least twice the amount of crowds we have on a train to raffles place and you are being squeezed to the point where you there are no extra room space for you to fall.

All ready for the trip!

Fion with her purple outfit ready for Osaka!

Views we caught on the Shinkansen

Mount Fuji....the place we didnt get to go on this trip to Japan

Look at how beautiful the sky and clouds are...

Found our Chisun hotel easily with the help of Sam's direction...we basically just read the note and move according...and there it is...not a min is wasted searching for the hotel...Thanks Sam!

We were a little late for lunch..so we bought a bento to have it at the hotel...its a little expensive at ard 800 yen but it taste nice!

Our first stop at Osaka...Namba..its a city area in Osaka...where you can basically find everything here...i actually like this place more than Tokyo.

Me and my Jump!

The famous Crab signage of this place!

It was pretty cold here, so we bought a can of warm coffee from the shop and drink along the river while enjoying the sun set.

And here we have Glico

Lights up at nite!

After checking out the shopping malls here, we walk thru the Dotonburi canal and its a completely different style..

While Fion shop her accessories in the shop here, i ventured out to the small alleys around this street...

This is a very nice cafe..in a very quiet alley..

Found this little temple within Dotonburi

I realised that every temple will have a special highlights that is unique..This temple worship the gods with water and plants...

We met up with Autumn, yes coincidentally her name is Autumn and she brought us for dinner around Namba

And dinner comes with Alcohol...guess im the only guy who drank this alcohol lemonade as most of the guys there are beer drinker....

Osaka is a little different from Tokyo. I feel that the people here are a little more relax and laid back..and it has almost everything you can find in Tokyo...

Given a choice, i would fly to Osaka direct the next round...
