Experience of the stay
A first-time 2-night, 3-day trip to Osaka.
I wanted to visit the Expo '70 Commemorative Park located south of Shin-Osaka Station, so I chose this hotel 5 minutes from Shin-Osaka Station.
My room was on the east side of the hotel, and it seemed to be in the flight path for planes landing at Kansai Airport, as I was able to see planes flying by from my window several times.
The nearby highway was quite noisy at times when motorcycle gangs would speed through.
There was a convenience store, 7-Eleven, nearby, but I had eaten a lot during the day, so I didn't need anything from there.
The hotel breakfast was in a nice restaurant for 1500 yen.
True to Osaka, it featured okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu. However, if you really want to enjoy Osaka's gourmet food, it's better to go out into the city.
There was also a Komeda nearby, and if you go to the station, there's a McDonald's.
Experiences during the trip
Day 1
Upon arriving at Shin-Osaka Station, I first tried a mixed juice in size S. At 200 yen, it was a pleasant surprise. It was fresher and tastier than I expected.
For lunch, I lined up for about 20 minutes for "Kukuru's" takoyaki. I was still a bit hungry, so I also bought a pork bun from 551 HORAI to eat on the go.
In the evening, I enjoyed comedy for the first time at Namba Grand Kagetsu.
There were many popular comedians, and the lively atmosphere typical of Osaka was enjoyable; I really had a great time!
After laughing, I had dinner at the famous curry at Jiyuken, not far from Namba Grand Kagetsu.
It was spicier than I imagined! However, mixing in an egg made it a bit milder. The retro atmosphere added to the charm.
Day 2
I visited the Tower of the Sun at Expo '70 Commemorative Park, which I had reserved in advance.
The main attractions for this trip were the comedy from yesterday and the Tower of the Sun.
I was more overwhelmed by the exterior rather than the interior. It was quite impressive.
In the afternoon, I took the Osaka Duck Tour, an amphibious bus, and enjoyed the sights with an amusing guide from Osaka.
For dinner, I had pork and egg okonomiyaki at Sakura.
I enjoyed it while huffing and puffing!
Day 3
I couldn't get tickets for the Kaiyukan, so I did some sightseeing in Osaka. I visited "Abeno Harukas" and "Tsutenkaku," both of which were stunning just to look up at.
Dotonbori was also packed with tourists, so I snapped some photos while passing through.
At a coffee shop called Iris, I had a rare cheesecake and coffee.
The coffee was a reasonable 350 yen. It was an old-fashioned coffee shop where smoking was allowed.
When I heard "Shiran kedo" spoken live in Osaka, I was thrilled, thinking, "Wow! They really say that!"
