Osaka

One of the most popular shopping districts in Osaka is the Dotonbori district and the nearby Shinsaibashi. Although Shinsaibashi was not a shopping mall, the entire area was covered and sheltered from the elements. There were many restaurants and shops in the Dotonbori district.

Although Nara was actually once the capital of Japan in the early days, they are not famous for that. Instead tourists like us went there for their deer on the street. We were not disappointed.
