Osaka (Dotombori, Nara, Universal Studios Japan etc...) 100th post for this blog!

 Return to Osaka! It's been 4 years and it was nice to be back. My 100th post for this blog as well! Dotombori Back to Namba Oriental Hotel. Got a fairly decent room for 3. Also did a Pig cafe, The Pigs kept coming to me for sleep. They were probably tired all day. It was roughly 1830PM by then.  Nara   Even the Deers here wait for the bus. J/k. They always hungry so feed them the crackers you can purchase from the vendors on the streets. We didn't do temples this time.

Fukuoka, Japan 2023!

The pricing is not bad too.       Fukoka Castle Ruins Ohori Park Ohori Park is really a nice walk. I recommend it. Atago Shrine   Lots of these in Japan though this one requires and uphill walk. Canal City Popular shopping mall. If you need to stop by one, it be this one. Fukuoka Tower Worth the views and especially the sunset!  Return to Canal City and more Yatai! Kirby Cafe requires reservations. If you want to try it, you must book it in advance. Food was ok. Its gimmicky to me.  Nanzoin and Daizafu Tenmangu Shrine. Goin...
