Osaka jo Cohen and Osaka Castle
On our way from Nara to Osaka we came across an old man that randomly started speaking to us. He had a pretty bad English but still somewhat understandable. While in the trip I notice that while he was talking to us he would mutter things in some incomprehensible language that not even the local Osaka people that were on the train didn’t seem to understand what he was saying either. I thought it was kind of funny because he would randomly circle his finger around and say “Okini.” When he would do that he would ask us to repeat it. Unfortunately I was unable to really explore Osaka as much as I would have liked to. I only had a chance to visit the castle and explore through some of the streets. Hopefully next time I will try to spend a few more days in that city.
From Osaka we took off to Kyoto, we stayed there for one and a half days there. This was the city that I least liked. It might have been mainly because we traveled to the old Emperors castle and really didn’t get to see it, along with that we didn’t get much of a chance to travel to any of the other many sites. We wanted to go to the manga museum but it was closed.
Kyoto
I learned tons of different things while in this short trip. It really is worth every penny taking a short vacation to a country that is completely different to what you are accustomed to.
