The Japan Chronicles: Osaka
Next city after Naoshima - Osaka.Osaka was a weird city for me -- before I left for Japan, people said it was an artsy part of Japan, with galleries and things like that. I assumed it was a commercialized city, but the foreign influences on it were apparent everywhere. Our professors were with us for one night, and left the next morning, so we had to figure out our own itinerary.
In a hodgepodge two days, we ate italian food, rode a ferris wheel, went to the aquarium, and watched a kid's dance competition. Not the typical experience for what I thought my 3rd day in Japan would be, but we made it work.
Next day, Osaka Castle.
