Day 3: Osaka - 6 Dec 2017

We checked out from our hotel in Nagoya and had our McDonald's breakfast at the JR Nagoya station. Thereafter we went to book our one-way Shinkansen tickets to Osaka which took us quite some time.

The whole journey from Nagoya to Osaka was only 50 mins. It was such a comfortable ride that I wanted to catch a nap but couldn't because the journey was too short! From JR Osaka station to our MyStays Hotel Shinsaibashi, it was a short ride via subway train. Our hotel was conveniently located just 2 mins walk from exit 7 from the Shinsaibashi station and it was so near to Dotonbori as well.  This hotel's location is well positioned and the price we paid for triple room sharing were at $330 per night,  which was considered expensive.

We took a short stroll around the small shops around our hotel and had udon for lunch.  Thereafter,  we decided to check in and rested for an hour before heading out to Dontonbori.

The streets were filled with tourists.. And we tried various street foods made available. Ethan wasn't too cooperative that night and we had so much problems trying to keep him close to us given the crowds.  He didn't eat much at Gyu Kaku where we had our dinner (the Gyu Kaku prices were almost 30-40% cheaper than SG Chjimes outlet which I have tried before!).

saw this Manneken Pis statue just outside our lunch venue..

the fish cakes and prawn cakes were nice

at Gyu Kaku

And of course,  he took the opportunity to ask for phone time in exchange to eat some beef and rice for dinner. We gave in reluctantly as we needed him to take some food.

It took us about 10 mins to walk back to our hotel and ob the way,  Ethan requested to eat some cup noodles for supper. So obviously he's not full with the amount of food he took at Gyu Kaku!
