A quick run-through of the must-see Ōsaka programme. We visited the Keitakuen garden, where we encountered a bit of autumn foliage colour once again. In the neighbouring Shitenno-ji temple, we were able to view a pagoda from the inside. Afterwards, we went to the food and entertainment strip Dotonbori in the Namba district and finished off our sightseeing at Ōsaka Castle.

Just before sunset, we took a look at the Umeda skyline with the Sky Building from the roof of the main station. After that, we admired the first winter illumination of this trip. On Midosuji Street, the trees are decorated with thousands of colourful fairy lights. The festival of lights stretches for several kilometres down the street all the way to Namba.

We really liked Ōsaka. Tomorrow, unfortunately, we’re already off to the last stop of our trip in the capital, Tōkyō.
