Hello! time to update again ^^
this time i will talk about our a day trip in Namba, Osaka!
still remember that we will spend 2 nights in the airport?
we have decided to go out from the airport and head to town =)
tried to find our direction out to town from the airport
and of course, with the cheapest way! =D
after surveyed and struggled for so long with the Japanese words
we approached the Nankai line to take the train to town
the kind receptionist introduced us this!
 |
| the Osaka one-day-pass which includes the train fare from KIX to Namba station this cost 2300 yen, which is very much cheaper if compared from buying the fare separately you will know why i said its CHEAPER! =) |
 |
| it includes a lot of entrance fees! which means you can tour around most of the tourism spots in Osaka with free entrance fee as it has already been included in the one-day-pass as long as its within one day =D |
we bought our tickets and let's go sight-seeing in Osaka!
Wheeehaaaa!!! =D
 |
| happy us with our tickets! and let's start our tour in Osaka! |
 |
| the head of the train that looks like ironman! haha! |
 |
| A 45 minutes train ride from KIX to Namba station |
after struggling with the maps and the directions
we've decided!! Osaka castle as our first destination!
 |
| the castle from far |
 |
| poof! walked under the scorching sun! =( |
 |
| this is how the castle looked like! |
 |
| finally after walking for 45 minutes. i've reached! |
 |
| before queue-ing to go up to the top. Pic time! |
 |
| the view from the top! did you notice its a gold fish by the side? amazing ! |
 |
| whee! we went in for free due to the one day pass~ worth it. haha! |
then, its time for lunch!
there are numerous stalls around the castle
and this, had attracted us during this hot day!
 |
| whee! its peach ice-cream that cost 300 yen! summer is a season where peach is available! must try the food or drinks which are peach or melon in flavour~ pattern duo duo while enjoying~ because the ice-cream will melt during summer~ ='( |
then, takoyaki is a must in Osaka!
therefore, we bought this and shared together =D
 |
| takoyaki~ 500 yen for 8! its expensive though if compared to other places |
 |
| this is the takoyaki~ inside, there is a whole mini sotong! sluprrssss~ |
 |
| whee! satisfying lunch! yummy yummy~ |
 |
| before we leave~ we saw this uncle in this ka-kai (cool) outfit! =D |
then, walk walk walk to our next destination
 |
| i wonder why, not much Japanese girls use umbrella but they can still be so fair ='( |
on the way, we passed by the Osaka Peace International Centre
the entrance fee was included in the one-day-pass too!
so we just went in~
 |
| the statue outside of the building~ |
 |
| what I played with! haha! |
 |
| children playing at the water fountain in Osaka Castle park! how wonderful! |
quickly, continued our walking journey~
we tried to go as much places as possible within a day
haha~ but it all ruined by the really super hot blazing sun ='(
we took another train and went to ε倩ηε―Ί
another famous tourism spot in Tennoji, Osaka.
 |
| the blazing sun... but still need to smile!!! =D |
 |
| this is ε倩ηε―Ί~ but too tired to walk inside ='( |
 |
| personally, i love this picture so much! |
the next destination! Tennoji zoo!!!

 |
| continued the journey with some refreshments! FRUITS! |
 |
| the entrance of Tennoji zoo! haha! =D |
 |
| entrance ticket which is also free! (included in the one-day-pass) |
the management of the zoo is really so so
we din really wanted to walk anymore as we were really exhausted!!!
poof! have not been walking for so long already~~~
here are some animals that we saw in the zoo
 |
| solo kangaroo! |
 |
| have not been seeing camel for so long! =) |
 |
| the Japanese crane which is endemic to Japan =) |
 |
| the main character! Giraffe!! i met Kwang soo (From running man)! haha! |
then, heading to the last destination of the day
Shinsekai and Osaka Tower!
 |
| its like Tanukikoji in Hokkaido! but this has more decoration! |
 |
| so nice!! most of the shops has its own decoration! this is one of it! kawaiii~~! |
 |
| it's so lively and amazing street! must come! |
 |
| eating takoyaki again.. but with a cheaper price of 300 yen for 8 pieces! |
 |
| this is Osaka Tower~ |
 |
| the entrance~ a lot of people and we queued for almost for an hour =.= you have to pay too but we went in for free (one-day-pass) as well! =) |
there are 2 lifts and both lifts have different patterns on top!

 |
| this is the first pattern~ cute right?! |
 |
| this is the second pattern~ galaxy de~~ =) |

 |
| how creative! they used recycled tomato cans to make this tower as decoration =D |

left the tower and we spent the rest of the night walking Dotonbori Street
including having our dinner here
I did not took much picture at night
but here are some pictures taken during the day
 |
| this is Dotonbori Street~ its just few hundred metres away from Namba station. |
 |
| its like Tanukikoji too! we did shopping here at night! ^^V |
 |
| if you all wanna have budget shopping, this is just a nice spot! |
there are also a lot of restaurants too!
and we had Okonomiyaki as dinner!
 |
| while we were lost looking for the shop, i bumped into Nora! my high school schoolmate! what a coincidence~!! |
 |
| whee! Okonomiyaki!! must try in Osaka! its delicious~ |
 |
| 3 of us girls shared and we got to try their various food =) |
 |
| whee! its delicious! and our set is around 3600 yen for a set of 3 types of okonomiya~ from the picture above, you can see there are various types of food included in the set and it will be much worth eating! =D |
was bloated after our dinner @___@
we spent half an hour shopping at Dotonbori street before heading back to the airport
whow! got myself a top and a one-piece dress =D
and the tired face of mine
the legs just got numb and not mine anymore @____@
and i just cant bear to stand anymore and i sat down on the floor of the train
definitely exhausted but fun exploring Osaka!
whheeeeehaaaa! =D
 |
| the bad leg ='( |
that's the end of mua Osaka Trip!
tried to get this one-day-pass too as you can really save a lot!
there are another pass actually which is from JR line
but it does not include the train from airport to Osaka
if you're in Osaka already, you can just get the JR one day pass
for a day or 2 days
the price for the 2 days pass is much worth it
but since we only have a day we only bought the one day pass
travel smart! haha!
more updates from me later ya!
trying to arrange my pictures and delete those unwanted or repeated ones
my laptop's arrangement of files are in a mess @___@
hope you all enjoyed reading my blog!
