#Travelwithme: Osaka
OSAKA BOUND!
- 3 Days 2 Nights itnerary -
Finally, have been awaiting for this trip since last year December. Can't tell you how excited i am to visit Japan. Took Scoot Midnight Flight over to Japan (NRT), before taking the JR train to Osaka for the first half of the trip.
*Note: Definitely save a lot of time buying the JR pass for 7 days, you can really travel anywhere in the JR line for free using the pass. However there are 2 stations which we aren't allow to use it at. I think buying the pass is cheaper if you are staying in Japan for long durations, it actually allows you to travel quite a number of place to visit different attractions.
Quite a number of you asked where i visited when i went Osaka, so here are a few places you can visit if you are heading to Osaka. For those of you would want recommendations on where to stay, suggestion will be nearer to Shin-Osaka as it's a JR Station where you can use your pass that you paid like $300+ for. #savemoneyasjapantransportnotcheap. The place i stayed wasn't very far away from JR Shin-Osaka Line, about 2 to 5 minutes walk. The host was really nice, she actually send me the restaurant around the apartment studio and i'm surprised that my first airbnb stay was really good. The place was really clean, cozy and easily accessible.

Ramen Shop
I cant translate the Japanese to english so i took the signboard for you. The ramen here is not expensive and i think is counted under the relatively cheap price range, considering the fact that the cost of living in Japan is so high.
