Minami Alps along the way
traffic was marginally better in Osaka, but still a nightmare.
We checked into our hotel and headed to the Dontonbori district for dinner. A very popular shopping and people watching district we found a restaurant famous for serving Hokkaido snow crab and enjoyed a very memorable meal. The kids opted for sushi, and we would have preferred not to have had our crab cooked in a miso soup base, but it was an experience not soon forgotten by any of us.
my happy explorers
it was a rainy chilly evening...
Dontonbori is along this canal and is very pretty in the evening
this is a famous sign, but not sure why....
this poor crab tried in vain to escape the entire time we were waiting for a table...
got a chuckle over this one!
shoe cubbies, no shoes allowed, as is quite normal here
dinner
sushi lovers!
The next morning we decided to go to Osakas world famous aquarium which did not disappoint. Known for its huge whale shark, this is still the most talked about part of our trip by the kids. Expensive, but a great way to spend a drizzly dull day.
This looked an awful lot like dinner from the previous night!
On to Iwakuni!
