Flew into Tokyo, spent 2 days there before going to Osaka for the last 8 days, tonight is our last night here before heading back to Tokyo. The vibe here is definitely more friendly and laid back, people are more loud and less serious than Tokyo, we are definitely going to miss Osaka but will definitely be back!

We really appreciate you going out to the ledge just to get a nice view for us even though you have your fear of heights. That was really nice. The view was amazing! Definitely going to check it out while I'm there as well as the south part of Osaka. I really like old style shops and foods. And yes, I remember those coin machines (where the coin rolls down the "funnel"). I don't see them much anymore but I loved them as a kid! They used to be all over malls, museums, aquariums, ect. Pretty sure they were a way to collect donations. My brother and I would drop our coins in at the same time to see which one of our coins "won". Very 'natsukashi' :) Hope I spelled that right. Glad you got to try your Ise shrimp and it was yummy! Now to try one in Ise! Let's keep walking and will definitely Gaaoo to you if I see you on my upcoming trip!

It is always so nice to visit the most popular places of your hometown with you dear Rion. It is never boring to revisit there because there is always a special vibe. Yes, at least South Osaka has more traditional local atmosphere and it is obvious that even you probably used to it also enjoy that frandly spirit of the place. Thanks so much for showing the renewed Tsutenkaku Tower and its Observatory. Your commenting of the views has been so interesting in spite the fact that you were as usually scared of high places. I appriciate so much your effort to do your best even under for you such unpleasant circumstances. The food you enjoyed especially seemed nostalgic for there are less such local shops than before. The gachapone prize is not worth the money but as you often say it is worth the excitement/experience. That shrimp looked really inviting before you have "distroyed" it, but I am glad the Mickey Mouse voiced better part of the shrimp had nothing against it. Dotombori again traditionally crowded. Obviously a lot of tourists again there. The street performers added to the vivid atmosphere, for sure. The tighny alley and the shrine at night such a nice Japanese vibe. In the end your beloved peaceful Namba Parks to be partly renewed. Listerning to your mentioning Christmas while still wearing your white T-shirt reminds me how time is flying. But still, looking forward to next adventures with you before the winter. Just stay safe, healthy and happy. God bless!!

Shin-Imamiya was the first stay in Osaka back in 2010. I still remember the place was so dark and a little bit dirty with a lot of homeless around. But somehow you feel so safe, really out of this world. I had no idea about it because I found the cheap hotel for only 2000yen a night back in those days. I revisit back again in 2019 but stayed in different place and the place change a lot to a different town. Thank you for sharing again... I always visit Osaka at least once or twice a month when I work in Kobe for a year.

I was running late that day on October 10th to get to my APA Hotel in northern Osaka after midnight and Too bad I never captured you on the bridge where Spider-Man was on the 11th day of October when I was there! And I did visit the outdoor food places where octopus🐙balls are made, seeing the Giant Japanese Clown🤡Toy, and I got to go on the Giant long shaped farrier wheel, it was fun that night. Osaka was great place to be in! By the way, as your accent sounds interesting, are you Japanese-British descendent?

That is one huge shrimp. It looked like a lobster and curiosity got to me so I did some digging. Ise shrimp (伊勢海老、イセエビ) is translated to spiny lobster. エビ Ebi is commonly translated to shrimp, but Jisho says shrimp, lobster, crayfish. Although it would’ve been funny if 🦐 was that big! Lol.

My favourite onsen hotel in OSAKA 🇯🇵 😍 Have stayed SpaWorld Hotel (Japanese room) many times ♨️ which has great views of Tsūtenkaku ❤😘 Tip: Stay 2 nights, end of month to the 1st as they change between (4th European & 6th Asian) floors each month (Male ↔️ Female), so you can go each floor. Book low season to save $ plus in advance as it gets busy. You are allowed to go out during your stay to buy snacks. In SpaWorld many restaurants to choose from. Pro Tip: Day of checkout you can return to onsen after room checkout, just let them know how long you intend to stay and give them your bags. They will change your wristband in case you wish to eat at the restaurants. Also just to mention they also have a water fun park upstairs that requires swimming costumes.
