Arrivals Begins

A new adventure awaits the Family of Four.

It begins in Osaka.

Super Mario and his friends greet arriving visitors, a warm welcome to Kansai Airport.

After reading several pages of a novel, Mom and Dad's plane arrived. Soon enough we found ourselves enjoying an afternoon tea, with some Japanese style burgers.

We made our way, via the airport railway station, to Eeyan Tourist Café. The Government of Osaka stipulates that visitors who avail AirBnB style accommodations (minpaku) must enter into a contract with hosts. Tourist cafés are a venue for such transactions.

After finally locating our accommodation (the station exit lift was not close) and leaving our luggage, we then checked out a local Mendokoro Torano-o restaurant. We ordered a milky ramen and some Tofu with minced meat. Mmmm.

Konnichiwa Japan! We missed you. ❤️Read more
