Travel Blogs from Osaka, Japan
Osaka from above
With my visa sorted and a flight back to Seoul that afternoon, I had the morning to do a little sightseeing around Osaka. I figured if I could negotiate the train and metro successfully I'd have enough time to see a little of the new and a little of ...
Osaka Castle
... at an early start today, getting up at 11.30 and doing a bit of web surfing. It was Easter Sunday, not that anyone in Japan celebrated it though. We left the place at 13.30 in the end and headed over to Osaka castle. Osaka castle was originally built in ...
Járat törölve / Flight cancelled
... left to drink. After heavy fights with the Jeju Air station manager the flight company has covered our expenses to transfer to Osaka and catch a flight from there back to Seoul on the same day. A 3 hours race with the time followed, but the ...
A day in Kyoto
... . The pins had a small basket thing at the bottom of them. Kyoto was recommended as the number one must see place in Japan. However for people that had travelled all round Japan, seen loads of temples, historic sights, I'm not so sure. Kyoto is literally ...
City View of Osaka
... one day. Osaka is only about a 25 minute ride from Kobe city on the Rapid line- which makes it a very convenient get-away. In Osaka we did a full loop around the train station (about a 20 minute walk), not for fun but because I didn't know where I ...
Zonked out
The students had a really difficult time waking up this morning. Many slept through their wakeup phone call and even knocking on their door did not work. I guess staying up till 12:30 playing cards with the teachers was too much to ...
Kyoto & Osaka
... to Osaka, where we had a local favorite, takoyaki (octopus cooked in dough-like balls), as well as some tasty ramen. In Osaka, as well as the rest of Japan, pachinko "casinos" are pretty popular, so I stopped in for a second to check it out; the noise and ...
Temples, castles and craziness... Japan style
... much for load bearing pillars?) In completely the opposite direction, we also visited Himeji - main attraction the oldest castle in Japan. Our highlight was our first ride on a Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train)... 100km including 2 stops takes a cool 29 ...
日本の or, Nippon
... with my schools' staffs have developed and classes are going well. Recently, I've been feeling a somewhat bemused fondness for Japan. I find myself smiling as I realize the person on the train across from me is flipping pages "backwards" as they ...
Attack of the Crazy Korean
... foreign occupants arrive and he tells them that he will kill them and that they should speak Japanese if they live in Japan. He then called everyone "fucking Americans" and continued to keep coming after us. The police finally arrived after 10 or 15 ...
Fifty's is Fab
... ; If I can tear myself away from the music, I plan to go to a ceramics museum, the Citibank ATM, a couple of the many downtown districts in Osaka, and an English conversation lounge where locals go to practice their ...
My Day ...the day the Earthquake happened...
... that I was going back to the hostel for lunch- so I was on the bus. Just so you know, today and the next 2 days, I'm in Osaka, then back to Beijing. My room has a great view over the city, I have a kitchen sink, fridge, hob ring and hot water canister in ...
Night out
Today was our last day in Japan. I was happy to be moving on, but would miss Japan. We organised our possessions and made sure we knew how to get to the airport. That sorted, we headed to Umeda for lunch and a walk about. We had a pizza, and then looked ...
Homestay- Andrew Hahn
... : Food shopping, Nintendo 64 playing, Japanese candy eating, talking, aquarium visiting, setting off fireworks, getting lost in Osaka, farewell dinner. + Food Shopping: After getting to Yusuke's house and after I had unpacked little bit, I went to a ...
Osaka Castle Flower Viewing
... ; Chinatsu (a friend from the YFU exchange camp) and I went to enjoy Hanami at Osakajokoen (the park in front of the Osaka castle) this weekend. We laid out our tarps and had a feast of fruit, veggies, chips, crackers, sushi, ...
We bring you joy
... game, and had drawn 4. So there was a strong likelihood of a 0 - 0 draw beckoning. Part of the reason that I think Cerezo Osaka weren't doing so well, was due to there kit, which was pink and purple. Their away strip was worst it was completely pink. It ...
Luck of the Irish
Saint Patty's day, Jack and I grabbed burgers and Guinness with friends afterwork. Tin's, our burger joint, started playing the Black Keys, a band we really like!, and we got distracted listening to them. (The majority of English restaurants here are not ...
Independence Days
... before catching a late train back. Other than that, our days are filled with work and friends, a bit of planning for the future and keeping up with things in the house. So that's where we are, here, in Osaka. And now for some round-the-town photos.. ...
Back home
We're home! As I said before, the flight was a bit delayed, a bit being 9 hours because of the typhoon (aka hurricane in the western hemisphere). The hotel was great, the food delicious, the bed quite comfortable, but we didnt get to use much ...
A Cell Phone Story
We got cell phones ! And an Internet connection ! It's not wireless yet so we can only connect one computer at a time but hopefully this will soon change. For now, its just great to feel reconnected to the world and we encourage all of you to find us on ...
Safe & Sound Arrival
... we'll watch the Super Bowl! It actually has already taken place, but we found an Irish pub ("The Blarney Stone") in downtown Osaka that has recorded it and will play it tonight at 7. Hopefully we make it through today without hearing the result! ...
Oyasumi nasai!!!
... in overvloed. We hadden al heel de reis onze drang voor sushi weten te onderdrukken, we gingen ten slotte naar Japan. Maar nu we in Osaka waren, gingen we ervoor. Na wat wandelen vonden we een sushi restaurant, naar onze zin. We stapte binnen en werden ...
Osaka
... end. We decided to make a pit-stop at Osaka. Arriving a little after midday, we took a nice afternoon to wander around Osaka Castle which I was a touch apprehensive to visit purely due to the fact that it's no longer an authentic historical castle. It ...
No Blending In
... (Kyoto City Guide - which includes a few pages on Osaka) does not do this place any justice at all. It said that Osaka-jo is a modern concrete reproduction of a 16th century Japanese castle. To me, this made it sound almost like an office ...
World Trip, Part Deux - Japan
... in the States). How wrong was I?! Seems like you naughty Japanese have your fetishes! Whoops! After Osaka, it was off to probably the greatest castle in Japan at Himeji. What a site. You get to climb right to the top for an incredible view. ...
Underwater, I Love You
... bathroom, then finally got back in to shower, change clothes, and head out to see the sights. Our first destination was the famed Osaka Aquarium. I figured Amerika-mura would stay open later and be more fun at night, so we might as well hit the stuff that ...
More Osaka
... about all the latest innovations, presumably. From there, it was lunchtime, so food shopping was in order. Luckily I stumbled upon Osaka's biggest market street, with fresh food of every variety. Fruits, vegetables, fish, tofu, and all sorts of things ...
