Sorry, gotten a bit lazy to update my blog as I was busy playing Story of Seasons on weekends! >.< Anyways, on to Day 8 in Japan!
Day 8:
Day 8:
• Walk around Shinsekai
• Travel to Tenjimbashi
1. Osaka Museum of Housing & Living
2. Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street
3. Kema Sakuranomiya Park
• Head back to Dotonbori
Started the day to Shinsekai after sleeping in today! A new world! Shinsekai is well-known for their kushikatsu, also known as skewered fried food!
Originally planned to eat at Gansokushikatsu Daruma, but the queue a bit long and the shop is small.. So we ate here instead: Kushikatsu-janjan (串かつじゃんじゃん 新世界本店)! For directions and store details, click >>here<<
The sushi is fresh but I still prefer Endo Sushi's sushi! They put wasabi in the sushi as well, which I forgot to tell them not to put and nearly died eating one of the sushi *chokes* >.<
After that, we went to Kema Sakuranomiya Park to see more sakura! It had rained and the ground was covered with cherry blossoms!
We walked pass a family mart/ 7 eleven and bought ice cream again!
We saw this store previously which always had a long queue and we decided to buy one to try tonight. Since it's quite late already, the queue doesn't seem as long as when we had seen it previously.
It was literally melt-in-your-mouth good! Worth the hype and queue! We shared one and it was gone in minutes! Yummy! There are 2 stores at Dotonburi: PABLO(パブロ)心斎橋店 & PABLO 道頓堀店.

It was a satisfying and good meal! We walked and shopped around the stores in Shinsekai before heading to Osaka Museum of Housing & Living (大阪くらしの今昔館) to snap photos! The address 大阪くらしの今昔館, Japan, 〒530-0041 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, 北区天神橋６丁目４−２０. Alight at Tenjimbashisuji 6-chrome Station Exit 3, the museum is located on the 8th floor! You can rent kimono to take photos at 200yen for 30 minutes. There was a loooong queue for kimono rental when we were there.
This kimono rental is different from the one we had in Kyoto of course, you can read about it >>here<<. The kimono is of low quality and they just put the kimono over your clothes. Since there were a lot of people that day, the design available for you to choose from is limited as well.
Some pictures of the museum below.

Finally, it's time for lunch! Had sushi at 春駒. For directions and store details, click >>here<<

After that, we went to Kema Sakuranomiya Park to see more sakura! It had rained and the ground was covered with cherry blossoms!
Is this a patch of grass or cherry blossoms?
Pineapple & chocolate!
Still had some time before going back to our apartment, so we went to Dotonbori to do some shopping again! And we found a Disney store there! *Waves bye to my money*
The Disney characters riding the train
