Hasn't really got time to arrange all my photos so posting less but will post more probaably tomorrow what I get back

Arrived in Osaka, drizzling whole day so nothing much can be done except visitn the Osaka Aquarium, take the ferris wheel and shopping, shopping and more shopping at Dotonbori, this place you can just spend whole day there shopping. If one knows how to sniff there are actually many great Japanese restaurants in the back alleys of the main Dotonbori Street. My advise is don't eat on the main street, go explore.

Found a grest place last night

Japan is always a nice country to visit in all seasons especially Hokkaido. All 4 seasons are special yet different.

By streak of luck yesterday, my arrival, was the day of sakura full bloom. Sakura bloom for only a week thereafter it start to shed so this unplug short break is a lucky one as far as timing is concern.

In Nagoya the popular places to see sakura will be those famous palaces and temples however the place where one can see the most trees will be alone the Yamasaki-gawa as in Yamasaki river.

Took the Sakura-Dori MRT line from Nagoya Station to Mizuho-Kuyakusho Station. get out of the station and its a 10-15mis walk to the river.

Along the way . . .
