Sushi!!
Um 11:00 ging unser Zug mit dem wir innerhalb von einer halben Stunde in Osaka waren. Das Hotel zu finden war sehr leicht, wir waren in einer Gegend wo es viele Lokale gab – sehr zu unserem Vorteil :)
Nachdem wir eingecheckt hatten gingen wir auch gleich essen. Dominik und Dani wollten unbedingt in eine Sushi Bar also suchten wir uns …
Grillen auf japanische Art
Zu Mittag gingen wir mal gemütlich in unserer Umgebung herum. Wir kamen zu einer Mall wo wir uns Donuts und ich noch ein Softice kauften. Danach gingen wir am Tennoji Park entlang und dann zum Tsutenkaku. Dort wurden wir von einem komischen Typen angesprochen der absolut auf Drogen war… war etwas seltsam da er uns dann noch eine Weile folgte …
Osaka - der kulinarische Himmel
Um 11:00 fuhren wir los Richtung Umeda Sky Building. Dort wollten wir US$ wechseln da wir in der Früh drauf gekommen waren dass wir kein Geld mehr hatten^^' In der Bank war das aber leider nicht mehr möglich, zum Glück fanden wir dann aber ein Post Office wo wir auch Geld wechseln
konnten.
Zufrieden gingen wir wieder zur U-Bahn zurück …
Day 1 - Osaka
[These entries are exactly what Jar wrote in his diary. Grammar mistakes and hentai thoughts included.] Today's weather was forecast as 17º but it felt much hotter. Osaka was very foggy {smoggy?} when we arrived. Their airport is one of those 'out in the bay' ones that look like you're going to land in the water. First impressions were that the …
Day 21 - Hakodate
Today Dave and I were to do Mt.Hakodate and the city, while Mike would do the Onuma Quasi-National Park. Mike's hangover was worse than usual, and he was in a particularly bad mood. Yet as soon as we got outside, Mike started dancing (yes, dancing. I have the videos to prove it) with his umbrella in the rain - and I thought I had the guy all worked …

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Taiyo Osaka
An Awesome hotel. I stayed here for my first solo trip overseas.
First of all, it's very cheap. I paid about $33 AUD per night for my room. It was the cheapest private room hotel I could find in Osaka (note that my capsule hotel in Tokyo was DOUBLE this price).
The hotel is fine and clean. The staff are nice, and they have a few English speakers who work there. The private rooms have a fridge, which is great (especially in Summer).
My favourite thing about this hotel is the bath downstairs. It's a traditional public-type bath for the hotel guests. I was a little shy about it at first, but it's actually really cool bathing the same way the locals do. The water is always at 42 degrees Celsius, so it's the best way to finish your day after walking the length of Osaka or Kyoto.
One thing that may deter people is the location. It's in Nishinari-Ku, which is the homeless ward. It was a little scary at first seeing homeless people sleeping on the streets, but they are completely harmless. They never, ever beg. So I know some travellers certainly won't want any of this, but it actually gives a good insight into the lesser known parts of Osaka.
Taking the subway about six minutes north will take you to Namba / Shinsaibashi, which is where a lot of the night life is located. There is a great bar called Tin's Hall about ten minutes East of the hotel, which I also highly recommend.
You can also hire a bicycle from the hotel for very cheap, which is a great way to see the city.
I'll certainly be returning to this hotel when I come back to Osaka. :)
