Japan Summer Trip. Day 3: Kobe

The Japanese breakfast meal  is so delicious I woke up early on the 3rd day and used the self-laundry service provided by the hotel. We were provided with two choices of main breakfast along with simple buffet-style add-on. We chose a western meal on the first day of stay and Japanese meal on the next day. Takamatsu was our next destination. Before heading to the city, we stopped at Kobe city to visit Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlet

Japan Summer Trip. Day 2: Osaka

Tennojii street and the Tsutenkaku Tower Summer in Japan, you have to wake up as early as 3am to have your Suboh prayer that lasted at almost 5am. As we skipped Minami attack yesterday, We started early on the 2nd day to cover Shinsaibashi later in the evening. After a simple western breakfast, we took a Sakaisuji line to the Ebisucho station in Tennoji. We took full advantage of the Osaka Amazing Pass on the second day.  We visited the Tsutenkaku Tower to enjoy the panoramic view of the Shitennoji area from the observatory deck in the morning. However, we missed the nostalgic Shinsekai (Osaka's new world) experience during pre-WWII as most of the shops still closed. The tower was constructed in 1912 after Paris' Eifel Tower also homed 'Wakuwaku Land' that brings big name Glico.

Japan Summer Trip. Day 1: Osaka

Good boy! We visited another one of east Asian country, Japan. This time we visited several cities in Kansai, Shikoku and Chugoku region. Our flight departed well at almost 12 midnight, and safely landed at the KIX airport on the early next day. It is just too early for hotel check-in, so we decided to have our first shopping at Rinku Premium Outlet. Just stone away from the airport, RPO is reachable either by train or shuttle bus provided at the airport. After settling down with the JR rail pass and the 'Osaka amazing pass', we took Kansai airport line to the Rinku Town station.
