Day 4: Osaka

After having breakfast in the hotel, we proceeded to the Shinkansen (JR) station to make our way to Osaka.

Along the way on the high speed railway, we saw the Mt Fuji which was awesome and I had my camera clicking away. Unfortunately, Mt Fuji was not on our itinerary for this trip. Will definitely visit it someday! The train journey took about 3 hours and we upon reaching our Osaka hotel (Comfort hotel), our luggage which we sent over at Narita airport has safely arrived. We rested for a while before heading to Dontobori where all the Osaka’s food awaits us! We didn’t try the Kani Doraku and went for street food - 2 servings of takoyaki balls and yakisoba which we enjoyed by the Dotonbori canal. After filling our stomachs, we walked along the canal and realized that we've reach the end of the Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade which is also very near our hotel! (we acutally we took a train from Shinsaibashi to Namba).

This is where the famous Glico Running Man sign and other neon lights shine up the night. Took some touristy pictures before walking down the shopping arcade and back to our hotel as Mummy was rather tired.
