After our exciting first days in Tokyo, we took the Shinkansen, or bullet train to Osaka. We started off by going to see Osaka castle, and the giant moat. Some of us got some street food nearby, but we didn’t eat too much because then we went to Dotonbori. This place had some of my favorite street food of my entire trip. We ended up coming back it was so good! Then we wen’t to Shinsekai street, a place with something for everyone. After that, we went to the hotel to chill a bit. We got dinner at Shake Shack, because we were all too tired to go to our actual reservation.

On March 17th, the group wanted to do some shopping and viewing of their own. We still had our tour guide Hiro to help us, but we chose to stuff. We started the day at Tsukiji fish market, where we got skewers, sushi, creative drinks, and probably more. The market was originally know for it’s fresh seafood, but is now selling all sorts of things. We also went to a pottery shop. After that we split up, and my family went to a amazing art aquarian. Then we went to karaoke to sing our hearts out. Back at the hotel, I babysit my little cousins while the adults went out to dinner.
