Oh, oh, oh Osaka #2

Oh I do like to be beside the quayside! We decided to head out of the city and go and visit the ferris wheel in Tempozan; yeh, we are big kids at heart! It was a beautiful sunny day and the views of the city were perfection.

Then, back into the thick of things in Tenno-Ji. Aside from the magnificent, if a bit dated, Osaka Tower, the area is jam packed with suspicious characters – sounds a bit like Westgate Hill to me 😉

We also visited our first Osakian temple; Shitenno-Ji.

While in Tenno-Ji is would have been rude not to try their local delicacy; kushikatsu – deep fried meats and vegetables – yum.

Well back on the metro homeward bound, one last glimpse of Tenno-Ji by night.
