JAPAN YOKOSO ...... Final Part

30 Sep

Decided  to check out early to go over to Dotonburi Hotel .

After leaving down the luggage, we made our way to Kuromon Ichiba. It was a pleasant to get there. The place was like a wet market selling lots of stuff. We managed to stop at one and bought some Maguro and Toro to eat! Stephen enjoyed them very much! ( I am not a sushi/ sashimi person....) It was quite a good experience strolling around Kuromon, shopping and eating!

From there, we made our way to Osakako - Osaka Port. As it started to rain quite heavily, we decided to break for lunch at the nearby Mac. The MacRib was really tender and delicious!

Walking around the shopping mall next to the Aquarium was fun! We managed to buy Ikayaki and also some pig shaped buns to eat!




Before going back to the hotel, we took a stroll along Shinsaibashi and bought some souvenirs and snack.

The room at this hotel was really small, but great location. Not only that, it has laptop for rental, wi-fi and even different adaptors for free use!

Went to Taka to buy a birthday cake and managed to get one to my liking! By the time I got back to wash up, Omori was already waiting outside the hotel.

Omori drove us back to his place for sukiyaki dinner. Mrs Omori has bought Kobe beef for sukiyaki! Wow! There was so much to eat!

Mrs Omori baked a cake for the party and we had 2 cakes to eat!

It was a great evening at his place!

Early morning check out to catch the train to Kansai airport. The Omoris came to see us off and gave us presents. So kind of them!

About 3hours and 20 mins flight, we arrived into Hong Kong. Overnight stay at Kimberley Hotel before catching my morning flight on 02 Oct back to Singapore!

The trip to Japan has been wonderful. We had good weather, delicious food, good traffic and most of all great hospitality!

It was great to be back in Osaka, after 8 years! Much has changed since, but it was easy moving around the city.

It was Stephen's 1st trip and I believe he enjoyed himself, especially the home stay at Omori's place.
