We checked into our hotel and took the Osaka City picture from the window several times according to the various light availability. We stayed 2 nights in Osaka and on the 2nd night, we were taken to a Sushi Dinner offered by the tour operator - the worst we have had in our lifetime - We left  the tasteless sushi and went to have the best soup noodle around the area. Our first place of call is a drive of about 2 hours from Osaka to Kyoto where we visited the Golden Pavilion in a garden. Then we headed on to a huge black building or whorship before we continue to place where all the natvie Japanese pickled editable stuff and candies are sold in abundance nearby the famous bridge. Later we have our lunch near the Kyoto Tower and back to our Swissotel right in the central & shopping district of Osaka. Cheers
