Castle, lunch then Lights.

With only the morning left in Hiroshima we headed for the castle. This was five stories high, where we started by making our way to the top. The surrounding view wasn’t that great. It was nice of them to show us how the castle was built at the top rather than the bottom on the way out…B The displays and information were quite cool to look at, we even donned some Armour but whoever wore it must have been a small guy.

For lunch it was the local specialty of Okonomyiaki. A layered dish, from bottom up, pancake, noodles, meat, cabbage and veg, egg and sauce. Filling but delicious.

That afternoon we arrived in Osaka, a quick tube transfer and we were at Namba station. To get from here to our hostel we used the massive Namba walk which seem to be miles of maze like shopping under the streets of this district. How I see us living in the future.

We headed out to view the area, it was kind of like Akihabara and Haru-juku mixed, very busy and full of young people. Coming out of one place I forgot it was night time due to the bright lights from the billboards, this is also where the famous Glica man is.

A night under the lights.
