Third Day: After bread fast headed to Shin Osaka Station. There was slight drizzle and the weather was cold, I supposed it should be around 12 degrees. We proceeded to our first destination- Osaka Castle by taking Midosuji Lie to Hommachi and transferred to Chuo Line and got off at Tanimaci 4-chome Station. Umbrellas/wing breaker became handy because it was still drizzling. We walked all the way to Osaka Park and the drizzle finally stopped. Osaka Park is definitely very huge so we just covered a small portion of it and proceeded to buy ticket to visit Osaka Castle. Spent the whole morning there.
We walked back to Tanimai 4-chome station and to take the Chuo Line to Hommachi Station. Our initial plan is to walk from Hommachi to Shinsaibashi but the sky started to get cloudy and rain began to fall. So as an alternative we took the Midosuji Line and got off at the next stop e.g Shinsaibashi Station. We spent the whole afternoon in Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori area because the rain was getting heavier. Shopping and eating okonomic, octopus balls, ice cream and many more which I got confused with their names.
Head back to hotel by taking Subway Midosuji Line.
Our visit to Osaka was indeed very brief, so much so that we had missed out many tourist spots like Arashiyama and Kinkakuji .
But Japan has given us such a good and deep impression that we will return very soon if not Osaka again then may be Hokaiddo/Sapporo.
Don't forget Hiroshima! Here's a very good 2 week itinerary for 2nd timers: https://www.jrailpass.com/blog/14-days-japan-itineraryWe walked back to Tanimai 4-chome station and to take the Chuo Line to Hommachi Station.
