As I soak, some shots from my (long) walk today (I wish I could add more than 4, but also don't). Took the train down from Umeda to Americamura (was too early though, everything was closed) and walked from there through Dotonbori, Nihombashi, and down to Shinsekai. A quick detour through the park to the zoo metro stop and took the train back up to Namba (which, I don't think I have much interest in if I'm being honest). Way too busy to try and get anything to eat there, so back up to Umeda again.

I was thinking about also hitting the aquarium today, but between needing reserved time tickets and being half dead decided to leave that to Future Me (hopefully back in Jan '24). Tomorrow is a morning Shinkansen ride to Himeji (and probably too much time there but whatever) and then on to Hiroshima. I'm.... pretty sure I've done more walking these 4 days than the entire rest of the year.

@CrescensXG Wow, Osaka looks QUIET!
@mrdini It WAS pretty early in the day - between 8:30am and 1pm. Willing to bet if I had stuck around Dotonbori for another 2-3 hours it would have been a very different scene. I like it like this though. Not as stressful.
