DAY 4 IN OSAKA: Shopping in Kobe & back to Osaka

On to Day 4! This will be a rather short post as we spent most of our time shopping!
Shopping time = No time for photos! ;P

Day 4:

• Check out of Taketoritei Maruyama

• Head to Meriken Park

• Visit Sorakuen Park (It was drizzling and we decided we should spend more time shopping!)

• Shop at Harborland

Woke up early despite yesterday's late night sleep due to onsen! The reason we woke up early is also cause we want to go onsen :X

Last onsen!!

After soaking, it's time for our Japanese breakfast! Last meal in Taketoritei Maruyama >.<

Rice & porridge for breakfast?!?

TAMAGO!

Yogurt

A filling breakfast later, we went back to shower and packing to check-out! We had booked a direct JR bus down to Sannomiya with the ryokan yesterday when we checked-in. The driver drove us to the bus stop to wait for the bus. GOODBYE LOVELY PLACE! T.T

On the bus down..

CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!

We planned to have our lunch at Steakland for kobe beef! We waited close to an hour to finally eat!

Price list and menu

Salad as starter

Loads of meat!

Kobe beef!

Well, it was worth the wait! Yums! I didn't try other kobe beef while I am in Japan, so I can't compare, but it tastes good to me! For directions and store details, click >>here<<

We took another purikura in Kobe! 

We walked from Sannomiya towards Meriken Park and Harborland. We bought and ate ice creams on the way!

Banana ice cream!

Matcha & red bean!

We shopped in Mosaic at Haborland! The prices are reasonable there! There are a lot of character shops and goods! We went into a series of character shops which includes disney store, rilakkuma store and more!  TAKE MY MONEY!!~ There is a SEGA store there as well but since we took our purikura already, no more purikura for us here!

We bought more ice cream! This is nice! Missing this!

Dippin' dots!

Rainbow flavour!

Finally, with our shopping done and hands full of shopping bags, it's time to travel back to Osaka! We wanted to relax when having dinner without worrying about carrying all those bags and walking around! Back in Osaka, we decided to try our this Yakiniku restaurant near our apartment which is recommended by our Airbnb host, 牛角 福島浄正橋店!

MEAT

Salad!

The food here is not bad as well! But this place is very smokey though, making my tired eyes feel even more dry :/ For directions and store details, click >>here<<

And... that's the end of Day 4!
