It takes about 1 1/2 hours to get to Osaka from Kyoto by train. Although it is so close to each other distance wise it couldn't be more different from their atmosphere. Kyoto had a very calm and historic vibe, Osaka on the other hand is very alive, colorful and loud. After checking in my hotel I went to see Namba which is the city centre and one of the main tourist attractions. From there I just strolled around the street, walked through dotonbori and tried the famous Osaka street food. It was a nice contrast to the historic Kyoto and on top of that I almost recovered fully from my flu. Therefore I could really appreciate the noisy and colorful Japanese vibe.

| The famous billboards from Namba-there is a huge lane coming from it with hundreds of shopping possibilities. I went back almost every day that I stayed in Osaka to do all my shopping |
