Dotonbori

The advantage is that it saves on travel expenses and you can easily swipe your card to enter the subway station. Otherwise, it costs at least 190 NTD per stop. You can easily break even by taking a 3 or 4-stop round trip. The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient if your network is unstable and you have to wait for the QR code to come out.

The observation deck offered a fantastic panoramic view of Osaka, and there were large statues of Billiken and the Seven Lucky Gods. I rubbed Billiken's feet, and there were lots of Osaka specialties for sale as souvenirs, so I really enjoyed Osaka. There were many foreign tourists there.

I loved feeding the seagulls! The stops at the attractions were short, and it was a shame we didn't have time to see everything. If you want to go, you should probably plan your itinerary in advance. I also hope the itinerary can be more specific about the times. Our guide, Xiao Zhao, was very friendly. We were lucky to have good weather, and the Amanohashidate and boat houses were both very beautiful. A day trip avoids the hassle of long journeys. The sea train section was okay because the view from the front of the station was great; otherwise, I would have preferred reserved seats.
