Hi everyone,
What - why 6 dollars you ask? Read on. I’ll answer that later.
From Osaka to Himeji
We spent some time to settle in Osaka before moving off to the largest castle in Japan, Himeji Castle. To get there, we had to take the JR shinkansen up to Himeji station, and walk about 15 minutes up a straight village like road to get there. Having been to Osaka castle, I was expecting the same kind of deal, but it was much different. It’s hard to think that, a few hundred years ago, the entire stretch of buildings and houses from the station to the castle as you see it below were a part of a castle villa (#12).
The Port City of Osaka, Japan
Konnichiwa from Osaka, Japan! Finally - I have the opportunity to write a decently sized blog post about my ventures in Japan so far. Unfortunately, as you will see, there isn’t too much to show off in Osaka - think of it as being the Newcastle to Sydney, but about 100 times bigger.
Jetting off with Jetstar Japan! Tomorrow!
Can’t wait! Our flight leaves in less than 11 hours from now, and I’m fully pumped! I’m just finalising my packing for now, and I think I may have under packed, but going through the list, there’s no way how I could have…?? I guess it’s a good thing - more space to store away shopping goods and the like. Boo yah.
