It's been a while, but I would like to share my travel to Osaka, Japan a few years ago.

One day, I got sick of mundane business, and used my vacation to travel to Japan.

I bought the ticket, went to Incheon airport, and after a couple of hours later, I was in Japan.

So many people in Kansai airport.

First order of business, find a nice bar.

I had takoyaki, yakisoba, and some fish balls.
It went nice with a glass of highball.

After checking into a hotel, I went to see the Osaka castle.
I heard so much about this place, so the expectation was through the roof.

The outside of the castle was great.
A huge park with lots of monuments and items to see.
Even the exterior of the castle was gorgeous.

However, I would not recommend going into the castle building.
It has been 'renovated' and there is no sign of traditional structures.
All has been redecorated with modern designs, elevators, marbles and some other disasterous interior thing that ruined the traditional look of the building.

The view from the top of the castle was nice, though.

Next stop is the port of Osaka.
