We left early from Kariya to catch a train to Nagoya, from there we caught the Shinkasen to Shin-Osaka!



(L1) Photo of train tickets & photos of us inside Shinkasen. Can you see us bypassing Kyoto?









Lunch At Shin-Osaka Station



After we arrived at Shin-Osaka station, we had lunch at a Udon cafe. Eton tried a curry base udon & I just had plain beef soup base - very tasty indeed.


Day Tour in Osaka - Osaka Castle, Kuromon Market, Denden Town, Amerikamuru and Doudonbori



We visited the Osaka Castle, then walked to one of the many temples (Below L1)
We also made a trip to Kuromon Market. (Below L2-4)






We spent the whole afternoon browsing & wandering around in Osaka. We went to Denden town (L1) & we bought a digital camera there. We also went to Amerikamuru (L2). By evening, we were at Doutonbori (道頓堀).





Yummy Food - Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Green Tea Ice-cream & Crepe!



We were constantly eating (no wonder we put on weight after the trip). Takoyaki of course was on top of the list... we just loved it & we tried many different types of Takoyaki! We had a trial at Kuromon Market, we also tried the ones with soup at Doutonbori. We both preferred the ones without soup.



Okonomiyaki was our favorite too.



I was really full by end of the day but just could not resist the temptation of Green Tea Ice-cream (L) & the very yummy crepe (R).
