Osaka Daytrip

Before heading off for a daytrip to Osaka, we had a second breakfast in the Nishiki market and had some incredible Wagyu beef skewers 😯

First thing we found out in Osaka is that the tube has an amazing sound when you arrive at the station (we made a little video of it). It feels like you levelled up in a video game! In Osaka we also stumbled across Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, overlooking the incredible Osaka castle.

We then made our way to Dotonbori for some crazy retail therapy and of course more courses of delicious food (Udon).

For our final stop, we made our way back to the main train station to see where the locals eat and drink when waiting for their trains home. The two basements of the 2nd Ekimae building have been taken over by a maze of hole-in-the-wall style izakayas.

We then enjoyed a peaceful ride back to Kyoto on the famous Hello Kitty train.Read more
