Osaka Day 2 - Osaka Castle
Day 2 morning we went to Osaka Tourist Information and bought the 2 days pass to visit interesting places in Osaka. Can refer to Osaka-Info on the package that they offered.
Dapat tickets and map trus rasa cam start Amazing Race because we first need to find the right train line. There are too many lines and nama sumer cam lebey kurang so I just leave the task to Jeeb because every time I read the signage or map I just make him more confused. Heh! So we managed to get on the train heading to Osaka Castle. But after 2 stops, Jeeb realized he dropped the 2-days ticket. *gasp!* We went back to the same station but we can’t go to the other side without exit first. Le sigh. Jenuh explain kat the officer that we lost one ticket. He was very helpful and advised to buy another ticket but we ended up beli ticket for one day pass which is lagik rugi. Because we were not going to ride the same line for one whole day T___T And then masuk each places still kene bayar entrance fee. Time nie agak frustrating because rasa duit wasted.

But we tried to stay positive. We went ahead to Osaka Castle Museum where it is famous for precious cultural property related to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Osaka Castle. It was 15-20 mins walk from subway Tanimachi 4-chome station.
We singgah this place first because we thought this was the one hehe. Ternampak plak flowering plum trees so tersangkut amik gambar. I didn't see any sign though so tatau lah aper nama temple nie.
We saw a lovely couple on their way to get married too! Clad in their traditional costumes...cute jer tgk the bridegroom struggled naik tangga. lol!
In front of the Osaka Castle Museum ada parks where banyak orang lepak, makan and take photos. There were few vans jual takoyaki lagik lah syiok makan panas2.
We went straight to level 8 to watch the view. We made a quick stop at each floor on the way down. Some of the floors displayed 3d short videos of that era, armour and battle costumes, detailed miniature of the castle, etc. Never thought i enjoyed museum stuff heheh.
Last but not least we found a cap mohor so we can stamped our notebook as momento! Love it so much!
Mengah gak nak kluar from Osaka Castle park, it was huge! And then the stretch to Plum Grove panjang pulak! Mencabar kesabaran sungguh!
That place was actually surrounded by a river (big drain maybe?).
It was chilled weather at that time and the sun was so bright. Should've bawak sunglasses...remember that!

This is like a scene from Dae Jang Gum. Oh wait that was Korean. I’m not sure whether dia tgh praying or working.

Can't wait to reach the Plum Grove because there were ROWS of blooming plum trees.
Cik kiah busy nak korek bag carik barang dengan tangan penoh tapik sempat gak posing to take a pic hehe. One of the reason maleh nak amik gambar bedua proper2 - nak pegang monopod, nak pegang camera and i think tgh carik headphone (aka shutter) kot time tuh.
Flowery updates in the next entry!
"river" surrounding the castle should be moat. you see storybook, they like to build castle with moat surrounding as a means of protection :))
ReplyDeleteOwhhh moat. Haha i never use that term before >.<
