Photo update Akihabara, Osaka, Kyoto

Yesterday we went on a day trip to Kyoto to buy the local specialty - Yatsuhashi - and to have a look at a view temples we didn't visit last time. Nothing really special to talk about, so I will just leave a view photos afterwards.

Today we explored the area around the Osaka Station. A place I can only recommend to anyone is the food plaza at the basement floor of the Umeda Sky Building.
Quote (http://www.kuchu-teien.com/english/index.html):
"Takimi Lane of Restaurants" on the first basement of Umeda Sky Building reproduces a street in Naniwa in the early Showa era when Osaka was at its brightest and most vigorous. There are a number of nostalgic items dating from those days - a pump-style well, Inari Shrine, a stone-paved alley, a short split curtain, and lattice doors. There, you can enjoy the taste of common people such as okonomiyaki, a specialty of Osaka. Please enjoy the taste of Osaka.
We ate some Chicken Teriyaki and Soboro Curry Donburi and it was really delicious, but not really hot.

The shopping center Hep Five is also an interesting place. It contains a ferries wheel, which will give you a nice view over the city.
