Osaka

I accidently did all the things I had planned to do in three days in Osaka on the first day.

I went to see Osaka Castle. Osaka Castle had been destroyed and rebuilt more than once in Japan’s civil wars.

Then I had lunch and coffee in Dotonbori. Dotonbori is a huge shopping district with all kinds of food and shops. I ended up spending a lot of time there.

I went back to Dotonbori for dinner and had some dumplings. I walked around after and found this huge display.

I needed something to do the second day since I had already finished what I had planned. I opened google maps and found this interesting bridge, Sumiyoshi Taisha, so after lunch I went to see it.

Then I spent the third day back in Dotonbori, and I went to see Tsūtenkaku, a large tower. I stopped for ice cream there and then headed back.

Next I start traveling home, taking the bullet train back to Tokyo. I’ll spend two more days there before flying to Seattle.
