Osaka Castle
Today we are taking a day trip to Osaka. From Kyoto Station we take a train to Osaka, the train stop at each station. I think its a non rapid or express train since we just jump in without seeing what train type anymore and it’s take longest time the journey time. Before that we have already arrange the schedule for fast train, but because we are late so we miss our prior schedule and its we just jump in the next train.
After arrive at Osaka Stain we change to JR Osaka Loop Line to Osakakajokoen for going to Osaka Castle. Here we see around and going in to the castle. The admission fee is 600 yen per person. We take the lift go upstair to 5th floor and continue with staircase to 7 floor to observation deck. From there we going down floor by floor. Like many place in Japan specially Temple or Castle they didn,t allowed it,s visitor for taking a photograph, its a liitle sad for me since i like going to museum or collection place and documented them by photograph.
Universal Studio Japan
After finished up at Osaka Castle we continue the journey to Universal Studio, ride back JR Osaka Loop line backward from before we head to Nishikujo and continue to Universal CIty. The ticket is already bought at Jalan2 Tour before in Jakarta, the price is xxx. We buy 7 booklet pass inside Osaka, it’s an express pass for skipping queue. This booklet 7 is 5.080 yen per person.
Eventually the park is not so crowded, but still there is enough long line to wait for couple ten of minute or later. Our first ride is Terminator 3D, we are not using the booklet since the queue is not long. Then continue with Spiderman 4D, Backdraft, Jurrasic Park, Jaws and close with Starlight Parade.
We still have booklet for Terminator and 4D Movie Cinema. We actually want to use the 4D cinema, but when we go there the next show informed was 8:00 pm. On the other hand the starlight parade is about to begin at the same time. So we are profer the parade then the show,
Continue back from Universal Studio we take the train from Universal to Nishikujo then Osaka. Since it,s very crowded we going down at Shin Osaka and continue with Ltd, Express.
