Wanderlust: 8th Day Osaka

The last day in Japan. Today is a chill day just going to the nearby places in Osaka before we fly home.

We already checked out from our AirBNB and left our luggages at the Shin Osaka Station.

1st Stop :

Breakfast 8:30 AM Tully's Coffee - after exiting Osakajoen Station, we were greeted by this Coffee Shop

saw these statues just near the coffee station

Osaka Castle

The walk to the Castle takes about 20mins , don't worry though it's a pleasant walk especially during autumn. You get to see a lot of colorful trees along the way.

Gokurakubashi Bridge

Had a lot of pictures taken here as this was where the yellow trees where

Then I read a special marker there. Hope I did not offend the spirits.

Tip, it's always nice to take a snap at the back where there are no tourists!

Best photospot in Osaka Castle.

Here's the view from up here:

Another Photospot! This is the base of the Castle

Here's the photo from the Front of the castle

see, the view is better at the back

Just walk a little away from the Front and get to this part, another Photospot!

There was a prenup photoshoot when we arrived at this spot, so while waiting for us to get our time, I took a picture of the cute couple.

Had my son took a photo of me here but it was all a disaster, luckily a couple approached us and requested to have their picture taken. After taking their picture, they asked if we want one! This is the attitude we want, tourists supporting other tourists. The funny thing though is the boyfriend keeps directing the girlfriend to replicate the photo I had of them.

While looking for a comfort room, we found another great spot for Osaka Castle just across the Japanese Garden.

Osaka Castle Honjin, you can also have your eki stamp here, just go inside the building

oha sino ka jan? Europe feels

We did not get inside the Osaka Castle as we already did way back 2017. We just spent scouting for spots around the Castle. I had to bribe my son to drinks or ice cream though to avoid him getting irritated.
