Japan Osaka Trip - First Day

Went to Osaka for a week and now finally back home. It been a very tiring journey, have been walking around everyday for some very long distance and the leg hurt so much.


















Take the Nakai train to Namba station. My advice is do not take the local train as the journey take a very long time and stop at every station and at some station, it will take a 10 - 15 minutes rest. Take the limited express or direct express train which skip quite a number of stops. Look for the train info before you board the train.

Very crowded at the Shin-Sai Bashi Suji shopping area.


















The Floating Garden Observatory, a distance walk from the Umeda Station.


















Night View of Osaka from the open space observatory. The wind is very cold and strong. Strongly recommended for night viewing.
