大阪 Osaka
Osaka's an interesting town. It's kind of like Tokyo, only a bit smaller, and if anything, even more people seem to smoke here. The food's been great, Dotombori (Bladerunner inspiration?) is kind of a crazy shopping mall/restaurant neighborhood. Osaka-jo has a great 360 degree view from the top of it. The outside of the castle is restored to something similar to the original but the inside is basically a small musem, stairwells, and even an elevator due to the complete(?) reconstruction of it in the 90s.
By the way, the matcha (green tea) softserve ice cream here is addictive. Some places have a ton of flavors and when you buy one they load in a softserve cartridge into the machine that then dispenses the ice cream.
