Japan Trip Osaka Places To Visit

WHAT TO SEE IN OSAKA

TRAVEL GUIDE TO JAPAN, OSAKA Exactly seven years ago, when we were approaching my birthday one day my dear wife says she wants to give my gift in advance with a candle on a green apple and an envelope in her hand. When I find a plane ticket inside the envelope, I feel like I’m in one of the movie scenes.. You know, in movies, they hand out envelopes to their wives and girlfriends, they find a plane ticket to a fantastic place, the woman screams and hugs her husband or something, it doesn’t happen at all..  Because when I see the ticket that says Osaka Tokyo Longing or something, I just stand there. There was such a thing as not being able to rejoice in surprise, he lives it himself, but the next day I realize the beauty of the situation and spend the remaining days in joy and impatience.. We are making a comfortable start to our journey, which will last 6 days and 6 nights from Osaka to Tokyo and back with our joint flight of THY and Makryammos. Huge seats, dishes to choose from on the menu, hot towels, hot berries, burgundy wine, let’s go malt whiskey, no….   After an 11-hour journey, at 11:00 Turkey time and 18:00 Japan time, we are 7 hours ahead as it is understood. We arrive at Osaka to explore the places to visit and land with a descent as if we are going to land in the middle of the sea. We are landing at Kansai Airport.

OSAKA AIRPORT

Kansai Airport in Osaka Bay is an artificial […] built on an embankment island. The terminal building, which is 1.6 km long from end to end on this island, has the title of the tallest building in the world.. We often come across the most … expressions of this world in the coming days.. SUBWAY NETWORK IN OSAKA As soon as we leave the airport, we realize that being a tourist in Japan is hard work.. Articles everywhere Japanese, nobody speaks proper English, we can’t get answers to our questions. Consider that we have a subway map like a spider web, add to your thoughts that although the names of the stops are in English, it is written only in Japanese alphabet in the subway, the fare for each stop is different and we have to buy the ticket from a machine that only serves Japanese.. We stare at the subway map, then the machine, then each other!!!

OSAKA METRO NETWORK

We say never mind, let’s take a taxi, but this time the taxi driver doesn’t know where the hotel is, we show it on the map, he doesn’t understand. The traffic is already terrible, we wait 2 minutes at every light. We will gladly learn the subway, there is no other way. Train, metro, taxi after a lot of work, we finally reach the hotel.. Ramada Osaka, a hotel in the city center with slender, box-like rooms. We throw ourselves into the streets as we get rid of suitcases. ENTERTAINMENT AND RESTAURANT CENTER DOTONBORI On our first and only night in Osaka, we go to the riverside Dotonbori area, the entertainment and restaurant hub of the city, and mingle with the crowd. Everywhere is bright, full of neon signs, the streets are flooded. Meters of high-ceilinged covered bazaars and lots of slanting people walking around.     When the lights on the roads open to traffic between the covered bazaars turn green for pedestrians, nearly a hundred Japanese start walking towards people in the form of a hurraa from the opposite side.. This situation, which we liken to the war scenes in the movies, goes to our jokes, we pass the same light back and forth a few more times in the form of kakara kikiri..     Most of the restaurants have a showcase in front of them, plastic models of some of the dishes inside, as we call them, ‘fakes’. It looks unbelievably vulgar, it’s like a toy. But at least it gives an idea about the food, let’s not eat the rights… , Japanese friends and families eat and drink in groups in separate compartments, waiters bring and take away. Everywhere we enter, they show us a box-like double room, and even if there is no room, they show us sections separated by separators, but we wanted to eat and drink together with such Japanese?! In one of the restaurants, rooms like this, a table in the middle of the rooms, a barbecue in the middle of the table, my uncles cook by themselves in an indoor environment, this time we do not say the room is fashionable, we skip it.. Meats are great! Japanese beer on the side Yebisu.:-) We say these Japanese know their business, but this is a Korean restaurant..  

DINNER IN OSAKA

  We experience our first technological shock when we enter the restaurant toilet. The toilet seat is heated, warm, very beautiful. At first, the washing tap is not visible. But when you touch the fountain one from the buttons on the side, a stick comes out and starts to spray hot water upwards from its holes he he.  

TECHNOLOGY IN JAPAN

 We ask our sympathetic waiter if there is a famous club nearby. he is writing. While looking for this place, we see a few places and intend to enter, but the bodyguards say “Man based only” and repel us.. As we learned later, such places in Japan were the modern version of the pavilion.. While the customer was drinking, geishas would come and just chat, there was no sexual intercourse.. Well, I’m a liar of those who tell. Finally a few girls in miniskirts realize what we are asking and show Samendive with a chuckle.. We giggle too when we see the place’s name is Sam&Dave.     After we pay our entrance fee, we get stamped on our sleeves like at university parties and go inside.. It’s Saturday, Japanese teenagers having fun. All drinks at the bar are around 700 yen (10 TL). Lots of brands of cigarettes in a glass in the middle. It’s a public service, but nobody buys it. Everyone smokes their own cigarette. We have our own cigarettes, but we still buy them! I guess the Turks haven’t come here yet.  

OSAKA NIGHTLIFE

  It’s midnight, we’re still having fun hyperactively, why? It’s probably late in the evening in Turkey and our body clock is just set there, probably has an effect.. But since every night will have a morning and we will be walking the streets of Osaka with the Japanese while people are sleeping soundly at midnight in Turkey, we return to the hotel after a while, even if we don’t feel like it… /strong> on our first morning at the hotel. While getting ready in our room on the first floor, we suddenly begin to shake.. When we talked to my parents the next day, we were also surprised to learn that they were worried about the earthquake, they were wondering because they could not reach us, and that there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 that caused damage and injuries.. Unfortunately, our mobile phones cannot be used here, since the mobile phone system in Japan is different from the GSM system in Turkey.. For this reason, one-sided communication can be established with Turkey from hotel phones, and my mother, who is most curious, complains about this situation.. (see. You’ll understand when you become a mother) THE PLACES TO SEE IN OSAKA Osaka The next of Japan’s Tokyo and Yokohama third most populous city. Not a very touristic city. Although Japan is not a country that makes any effort in tourism in general.. A society that lives within themselves, by its own rules.. It is so obvious that they are not used to tourists.. They get embarrassed and bored when you ask questions, they try to help but 90% of them don’t speak English. We can’t find any maps showing the must-see places in all 3 cities we’ve seen..
