Japan June 2011 - Day 15 - Osaka

And so back to Osaka we were and I have little else to share, as I spent most of the last few days shopping! Another trip to Japan suddenly over but such an amazing trip! Yakushima was one of my 'bucket list' items and it really lived up to my expectations. I am finishing this post months and months after I came back and still sit in my local Japanese restaurants trying to relive the memories and wishing I could return! However there are other countries out there... so I really should give them some attention, maybe I will just 'accidentally' book return flights that stopover in Japan?

Our last few nights in Japan we did explore the street of Dotonbori, famous for its restaurants and neon lights and we indulged in a bit of Yakiniku so I will leave you with those photos.
