Osaka Castle

We didn’t really plan to visit other destinations in Osaka aside from the Universal Studios. This is because we know that we didn’t have enough time left in our itinerary. Day 5 is dedicated to a whole day in universal studios and Day 6 evening is our flight back to the Philippines. 

Day 6: After eating breakfast and checking out of our hotel, we again left our luggage to the hotel’s storage and decided to take a last minute trip to Osaka Castle and Dotonbori. Our hotel is located about 15 minutes walk from the Castle, hence, another walk-a-ton happened. o_o 

Unlike Tokyo castle where you need to schedule your visit, the Osaka Castle Park is a public area giving visitors the chance to get a closer look of the castle.

Nope! It's not COLD. It was actually very HOT. The reason why we're wearing jackets is because the sun really hurts our skin. Ate Haydn and I were wearing Uniqlo UV jackets from UniqloPH. 

Side note: We went gaga over Uniqlo Japan. It's very cheap! Like a dress for 1,250 PHP can be bought for 1,250 YEN. If you're a Uniqlo fan like us, make sure to have extra money for shopping. 😘

Those giant rocks! Did aliens help built this as well? 😱

Bro-Bear spotted! 

And of course, Japanese snacks! 

And souvenirs...

(photo bomber beside me. -_- )

We love the Matcha Shaved Ice and Matcha Ice cream! Shops are located around the castle. I think it was around 300 yen each.
