Day 4: Trip with the Hikari Shinkanzen to Osaka

Today we were ready to go further on our journey in Japan.. So we took the train to Osaka.

At Ueno Station we traded our voucher of JR Pass for the real pass that we can use for 7 days.

 Lilia with the JR pass.

Our train left at 11.33 and it will take about 3 hours to get to Shin-Osaka station.

Our Hikari Shinkansen (Bullet)train to Shin-Osaka Station... 

A train trip is never completed with a bento box. We found this train shaped box at Tokyo Station at a vendor where you can buy bento boxes. It's a complete package with our food and chopsticks...

The food was really delicious. Our stomach was full.

As you can see the weather today was cloudy and it had rained today,

Luckly it wasn't that cold.

 We finally have arrived in Shin-Osaka Station and we had to take the subway to our hotel.

First we took the red Midosuji subway line and than we had to transfer to the green chuo line

 We arrived at our Hotel Sakaisujimachi around 4pm. After we checked in, we went straight to our hotelroom which is on the topfloor, Roomnumber 1111.

We left our suitcases in the room and went to go outside again to Shinsaibashi for the Daiso Store.

Shinsaibashi is a large shopping area where lots of tourist are walking around. Because lots of stores are tax-free, they bought lots of cosmetics and snacks.

 We found the Daiso store and luckly this one is really big.

After the Daiso store we came by a Sanrio store and checked it out.

They had lotsa Sanrio merchandise, but it's a little bit expensive... 

Lilia in front of the famous Glico billboard.

Today's blog is really short, because our day was filled with the trip to Osaka and it's really late now.

We are going to get some sleep for our sightseeing day tomorrow.

Goodnight ^_^
