We took the shinkansen
from Hakata, to Hiroshima, which was less than an hour. Cool! It
was fast! A bus would take 4 times the duration! (Fukuoka hakata
is in Kyushu Island, Hiroshima is in Chugoku Island) Refer to Maps.

Day One in
Osaka
- Arrived at Shin Osaka station. We
took the subway from Shin Osaka, to Minami-MoriMachi to check-in in
our hotel, Hotel
IL Grande.
-
The Subway of Osaka
was so complicated! But we managed to find our way thru everything.
-
-
After checking in
to our hotel, we put our bags down and left for dinner searching.
-
Yoshinoya was the
most affordable cuz it costs only 5 dollars plus a meal? yepp. Ate
a pork and egg teppan. Yummm. (Yoshinoya is 24 hrs in Japan)
- After dinner, it was already 10pm,
we went back for a big rest after a day of tiring travel.

-
Woke up at 10 instead
of 9am. We were so shagged.
-
Went to Osaka
Castle via subway to Tenmanbashi. The castle was magnificent.
-
After Osaka Castle,
we took subway to Shisaibashi, the orchard road of Osaka. Shisaibashi
is soo cool! i got to see many cool people around with great fashion!
They are sure walking fashion icons.. Shisaibashi was sooo big that
i only managed to walk a quarter of it.

Headed for Universal
Studios Japan (USJ) via Subway Transfer from Umeda Station to Osaka
Station, to Nishi Kujo and finally to Universal City Station. We
boarded the Spiderman JR train! soo cool! Universal studios Japan
was cool! The weather was cool, the entrance of USJ was sooo magical
with christmas decos, with carols sounding... ultra cool!!
-
We didnt went into
USJ, just the outside cuz it was pretty expensive and its kinda
time wasting? queuing for rides are scary!

Went Hard Rock Cafe
Universal Catwalk and Hard Rock Cafe Osaka at Tannimachi-4-chome.

Bought Kitsune Bowl
noodles and Onigiri for dinner at Lawsons Convenience Store. Its
to save money. Ate them back at hotel, it was 10 plus. But the Kitsune
Bowl Noodles was superbly oiiishi as it comes with a giant kitsune
and kamaboko! slurpp!
