Osaka, Japan (Recap at 154 Days)

Osaka, Japan (Recap at 154 Days)

November 28, 2016

On Sunday, October 9, we finished our time in the north of Japan and headed down to the second largest city in Japan, Osaka. We spent some of our time there relaxing, working on the blog at the time and seeing what the city has to offer. Overall, we really liked it, and we were really impressed how much the restaurants there really like animatronic animals and food. We didn’t do too much touristing around town, other than a brief trip to Nara on Tuesday, October 11, a town where deer wander free around the public parks, and a trip to the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum on Wednesday, October 12. Check out the pictures and videos below!

Public parks in Nara are so pretty, and also overrun with deer.
