Osaka. Got here from there pt 2

Today, docked in Osaka all day, we ventured off on our own, trying our luck on the Osaka Metro to go downtown from the cruise port.
Navigation when there is no English alphabet was a bit entertaining but we managed to get to the famous Dotonbori Street.

Yesterday from Kobe
Osaka exploring day
Again Osaka

Our “formal activity” of the day was to attend a Japanese Tea Ceremony presentation. Very interesting history and the entire ceremony was both entertaining and fun

Dotonbori Street is kinda crazy and the place starts getting loud around noon and then gets crazier. The night life scene is apparently wild but we will miss that as there is an on board Japanese cultural show with large Taiko drum band

Good couple of day for a couple of cruise tourists.

Tomorrow, the Shinkansen high speed train is on our agendaRead more
