Osaka Nov 2019

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan. There are several lines in Osaka. Each line appears to be run by different companies. The JR trains are different from the regular city train lines. This is a typical train. It is rather wide. 

This is a normal overhead train.

There are many shophouses in the city.

A typical food shop

Behind the large shopping mall, there are these shophouses lined up along the narrow lanes.

These locality is several train stops from the Westin hotel. I am heading towards the river.

Fish market. It is busy in the early morning. Now is late morning. Most of the crowd has gone.

Fish market. It is not crowded

There is a queue outside one of the famous sushi place.

There are several shops that sell different types of food.

Just outside the fish market.

 Heading off to one of the older parts of Osaka.

Lots of older buildings and shrines.

Looking for lunch.

Walk into a katsu don joint.
Lots of different sauces.

Inside a shopping mall, in a toy department. it brings me memories of my childhood.

Lego is popular here. There various lego models depicting parts of Osaka.

dinner time. We picked a small shop. It is a typical ramen shop.

On the way back to the hotel, I swing by the xmas fair. ti is not opened yet. Looks like I will be missing the opening as I have to head back home when it is opened.
So sad...

I walked outside the hotel for some night shots of the surrounding.
