Osaka '08 Pics

Today I want to share some photos from my visit to Osaka in Sep/Oct 2008. We took the Shinkansen from Shin-Yokohama to Shin-Osaka, since we had the Japan Rail Pass. If you compare travelling by train in Japan with the German trains here, I must say it was so much more comfortable and easy, even in second class! Ahh, I love the japanese trains. <3 We arrived after 3 hours, went to our (very nice) hostel, and then to explore the neigboorhood.

Shinkansen "Kodama" (Bullet train at Shin-Yokohama Station)

Dotombori Street in Osaka-Namba

Osaka Takoyaki (octopus balls, a specialty of Osaka)

Shinsaibashi (a famous quarter for shopping and eating)

Shinsaibashi's famous crab Restaurant

Shinsaibashi-Suji- a very looooong shopping street

A huge scramble crossing in Namba (that's me with the pink bag)

Bonus Picture: Me in Kiddy Land in Umeda, a Character goods shop.

How great, you had an apartment near there? then I would have hanged out there every day, hahaha! Our hostel was in Fukushima, near Umeda.
My bag is happy that it is liked by a lot of people! :-) Although it is so old by now. It has been with me since high school times :-); 27. Januar 2010 um 22:05

I am sure your chance to visit Japan will come soon. When I was younger, I thought that I will never have the chance to go there, up to today I have been three times! See? ^o^; 27. Januar 2010 um 22:08

Anonym hat gesagt…: Thanks for sharing these photos. I have to visit Japan one day, too. I have got a pen-friend in Japan for more than 13 years now, but I have not visited her yet. Well, right now she is living in Australia. So I will need to wait till she moved back one day.; 21. Juni 2010 um 11:13
