Day 7: Hot Hot Hot In Osaka

It was a hot hot day in Osaka... : `( But we gotta go out & sightsee... 1st stop of the day? Osaka Castle Museum. Osaka Castle was built by a Shogun, Hideyoshi Toyotomi in 1583.

We got this two day pulic transport ticket that covered all Osaka city subway lines, New Tram lines & bus lines. It was valued for money as it came with a whole lot of coupons giving us free entry or discounted entry charges to many places of interest. ^.*

We used a coupon to take the Nishio Train into Osaka Castle Museum. In such weather, minimized walking is 100% appreciated! Lol! :)))

We headed straight to the 8F of Osaka Castle Museum. It's the Observatory deck. From there we caught a bird's eye view of the city. :)

We proceeded down to view other exhibits, giving us more insight into the life of Hideyoshi Toyotomi . :)

Following is a model of one of the many battles of that era...




























We realized we could get a clear view of Osaka Castle Museum from Osaksa Castle Nishinomaru Garden, away from the maddening crowd. ;)

The crickets welcomed us with their chatters! Lol! :)))

Here's the Osaka Castle view I've just mentioned. ^.^ No tourist with umbrella etc etc...

After a few snapping here & there, we took five at Tea ceremony house Hoshoan...Xueyi's shoulder's so soft & comfy...*.*
