Osaka - 大阪
I visited Osaka twice. We arrived at the rainy Osaka at 09/02.
Unfortunately, we only could visit Osaka castle because we had some
trouble with our hostel. The reservation was lost, and they were
overbooked... Osaka-jo is similar to Nagoya-jo we visited the day
before. In the evening, we went to the Umeda Sky Building where we had
a nice view to Osaka.
My second time in Osaka was 09/14. At this day Taka and I went to the
Danjiri festival. I met Taka the day before at the youth hostel.
Thousands of people joined this event. 09/15 was my last day in Japan.
Then, I visited Kaiyukan, the largest aquarium of the world. There, you
can regard animals from all over the world living in or near the water.
In particular, there is a whaleshark and very large crabs (> 50cm).
Finally, I visited USJ (Universal Studios Japan). I visited some
attractions but there have been a lot of people.
At 2004/09/16 I went back to Frankfurt from the Kansai Airport (Osaka).
