Osaka, December 12th
Trip to China & Japan 2024

When traveling to Japan from Sweden, I have stopped for a few hours in Helsinki and visited the city. This time, though, I have chosen a 2-hour transfer, so my trip starts directly in Osaka, Japan.

My plane lands at 13:00, and I get to my hotel by 15:10. Everything goes smoothly, especially considering that this time I am bringing a couple of hardshell suitcases. On other occasions, I have purchased new luggage during my last days in Japan to avoid carrying unnecessary baggage around. However, as I am traveling with a friend who will stay most of the time in Tokyo, I can leave my suitcases with him and still travel  lightweight while city jumping.

The first half day, I visit some well known places to me. I visit the city hall island. I eat Takoyaki at Dotombori. I just enjoy the city at a slow pace.
