Osaka was great! Was really nice to see another city in Japan. It's known for it's food and we had plenty really good meals! From Okonomiyaki (pan fried batter cake; picture below) to Takoyaki (octopus dumplings). We went to one restaurant where you make your own takoyaki.
We even tried whale! I know, I know, that's terrible. But when in Rome right? We had to at least try it once. It looks like tuna don't you think? It doesn't really taste like anything at all.
We met Peichung and Melissa in Osaka and it was fun traveling with them, sightseeing and eating. We stayed and walked around the Namba/Dotonbori area, a very busy entertainment and shopping district. We went to the Osaka Castle (not original but renovated) and to the Shin-Umeda Floating Garden Observatory. Great view from there!
More pics from my mobile phone to come... plus details of Himeji castle and Kobe side trip.
