Day 8: Osaka Castle and City Tour

After our visit with the Osaka Sister City Committee we enjoyed a city tour and visited the Osaka Castle. A former Shogun lived here and it's under his rule that Japan became a united country. It's was so hot & humid we felt like we were melting!!

Boat tour. Since the water level is so high, as we pass under bridges the boats room goes up and down as Katy demonstrates.

These stairs are for going up. The Japanese are so orderly! The other side was for down only!!
