Snowy Photos Japan - 2014

We're now down/across in Osaka. Having heard it was more youthful/edgier than Tokyo we had to check it out. Also using as a gateway for Nara's Deer Park. Osaka Station and the area around it amazing endless underground maze lasting 6+ city blocks with various name changes and buildings above each having their own section. Out on the street there's often no way to cross the road due to a lack of lights as well as added fences. Not a good place if claustrophobic. Google maps have a good lock on the place, so it's been easy enough to get about.
The city certainly has a younger crowd and the city itself seems newer, with many more top end/designer stores. A nice contrast and re-charge point.

Bit of a mission to get here, but boy it's a lovely warm island/resort. A lovely afternoon in/around the resort.
Remind me not to buy fragile glassware until the last stop on a trip. Nice little 'vintage' setup in the room. The Fire-King glasses will be posted at some point in the future

@Chiba:
Where you at in Okinawa? We just booked our trip down today for the golden week holiday. Will be my first visit.
We're in the Intercontinental, about an hour from the airport and an hour from the aquarium. Very lovely island, great holiday spot, you'll have a blast I'm sure.
jdl, both Mrs Snowy and I are keen for our 3rd trip to Japan, and we've not even finished our second. A huge and diverse country. VERY kind people with language barriers never getting in the way.
Friday, GMB, thank you both.
