Dotonbori Food Street Restaurant Guide Local v s Popular Namba Station Tour by Local Osakan Ep 633

What a beautiful day! Today, we're in Osaka in front of Namba station. There are so many people enjoying the beautiful day. During January and February, this square was super quiet. But now, yeah, people are coming back. That's the sakura tree. When we just arrived to Osaka, there were still cherry blossom, but it's already all gone. Basically, in this square, there were many tables in the middle. But seems like many people just moved the table under the shadow. Smarter! This square used to be the big street. Many cars were running. But after they made this square, it becomes much nicer. I really love this open space. And this is the Takashimaya department store. It is one of the iconic department store in front of Namba station. Today, I'm heading back to Tokyo. But in this video, I will introduce many different part of popular area of Dotonbori, and give you guys a travel situation update by end of the spring. Yes, the spring break is just over. The situation has changed. But still, there are so many travelers in the town. Yes, it becomes very lively. So hopefully, everyone enjoys. And if you are the beginner of Osaka, you can check up this video. And you can have the idea of Namba Dotonbori, which is one of the most popular area in Osaka. And by the way, hey guys, welcome back to Rion's TV. I'm Rion. Seeya! Ciao! Please don't forget to check my Instagram too. All right, so let's keep walking. Firstly, let's keep walking toward to Dotonbori food street. If you are heading to Dotonbori area, you need to walk under the Ebisubashisuji street. But beforehand, firstly, I want to get the Shinkansen ticket there. Yes! I'm using the discounted ticket store so that I can save some money. Well, you can buy the Shinkansen ticket on the internet, which is much easier. But if you want to save money, you can just get the Shinkansen ticket at the discounted store. Which is right front of Namba station. Seems like today, from Osaka to Tokyo, price is 12,600 Japanese yen. How about the other discounted ticket store? Let me check. Under the Ebisubashisuji street, there are two other discounted ticket store. So, let's go! The yellow one over there, and also the orange one over there. Seems like that yellow discounted store having a little bit cheaper price, which is 100 Japanese yen cheaper. So let me get the ticket from there. All right, so I got the discounted ticket. Original price is 13,870 Japanese yen. And I could get it with 12,500 Japanese yen. I could save quick 1,370 Japanese yen. Which I think it's a good deal. Well, some people don't care. But if you want to save money, you know, it doesn't take that much time. So maybe you can use it for the next trip. But if you are using the discounted ticket, there are two things that you have to be careful. One, you can't use the credit card to buy the ticket. So you need to pay by the cash. And two, basically, those ticket date is on the different day. So you need to change the date at the Shinkansen ticket office. That means sometimes if it's crowded, you have to wait in front of the ticket office. Well, today, I'm using the Shinkansen. And I will show you guys how long is the waiting time in such a busy day. Hopefully, it's less than 15 minutes. We'll see. Anyways, let's keep walking to Dotonbori. Yes! Again, we are using the Ebisubashi-suji, which is white one over here. And keep straight. Recently, they get the big sign over there. So probably, you will not get lost. 450 meters to go. Let's keep walking. This is one of the most popular street in Osaka. Used to be there are so many food stores, restaurants, and a small shop, too. But, you know, after the travelers comes, and it becomes super popular for the travelers, too. Now, we have many drugstores. And also, we have many big restaurant over here. That's one of the most popular Osaka souvenir, Rikuro Ojisan no Mise. Rikuro's Cheesecake. You can buy one whole cheesecake for 1,065 Japanese yen, which I think it's a pretty good deal. But it used to be it's 500 Japanese yen. So it becomes a double price. But still, thinking about the recent situation, I think it's a good deal. Especially, you can only buy it in Osaka. So you can't buy it in Tokyo. You can buy it in Hokkaido. So even though many locals buying that Rikuro Cheesecake, when they come to Osaka for the souvenirs, it's very fluffy and mecha-oishi. So if you never try, you can try that. You can hear the sound of bell. That means that new cheesecake is just baked. Usually, there are long line in front of the store, but seems like today, still better, huh? That Rikuro's Cheesecake, and also this 5x1 Horai Meat Bun. Those two are very popular souvenir from Osaka for local Japanese. All right, so let's keep walking. Oh, now seems like McDonald's having a Gundam collab. Nice! Oh, interesting! Look at that! We got the new fruit juice vending machine! We have an orange one and apple wine. Now, we have a lemon wine. This lemon is coming from the Wakayama Prefecture, which is right next to Osaka. Uh... Sweetness, level 40. The sourness, level 2. Interesting! Price cost 500 Japanese yen. That's nice! There are always something new on the street. So, it's very interesting street. And now, we are halfway there. Look at that! There are cute shishimais! 9,800 Japanese yen. It's dancing! Even though spring break is over, there are so many people walking in the street. Yes, this is one of the most busiest street in Osaka. Today is the weekend. That's the reason why. Usually, this much crowdedness, if you come over here during the weekend, you will encounter. So, if you're visiting here, get ready for that. Or maybe you can visit here on the weekday. It looks much better. Usually. Recently, we got the Pop Mart store over here. That's also one of the most popular store on the street. Here we go! Finally, we arrived to Dotonbori. Seems like they are having some event over there. When you get to this square, on the bridge, that's a Glico Running Man place. And on your right side, that's a Dotonbori food street. It's the Glico Running Man. Osaka's most popular picture spot. Next to Glico Running Man, there is a huge display. In front of the Dotonbori food street, there used to be the Osaka Expo sign, but after the Osaka Expo, the sign already is gone. Let me introduce the restaurant a little bit. First spot, it's Kani Doraku. This is the iconic restaurant in Dotonbori with the huge crab robot. Well, as you can expect from that robot, they sell crab. And it tastes pretty good. Price is a little bit expensive though. However, you can find this restaurant in many places, even though in Shinjuku, too. So maybe if you want to eat something local, you can try something different there. But it's mecha oishii. Next to Kani Doraku, there is a Bikkuri Donki. Hamburg steak restaurant. This one is a chain restaurant, too. So you can find it in many places. Their Hamburg steak is pretty good. Price is about, you know, 1,000 to 1,500 Japanese yen. Hamburg steak is a Japanese-style steak, which is a really popular dish. They mix the meat with the bread powder, so that it is not that heavy, but you can easy to eat it. One of my favorite dish. And this is also one of my favorite restaurant, too. Bikkuri Donki. In front of the Bikkuri Donki, there is a Giga Game Center, and there is a picture spot. Well, it seems like today, there is something wrong with the display, so no photo. By the way, this Giga Game Center has a pretty nice game center. There are so many cool machines inside. They used to have the myaku-myaku over here, but now, it's all gone now. It becomes a Hello Kitty now. They have an older display over there, but it is not as clear as the new one. This is a relatively new restaurant over here. The Ganko Sushi. Ganko meaning stubborn, and this is the owner. Maybe stubborn guy. It's a popular Japanese food chain restaurant, but here, they are mainly having the sushi. Do you love gyoza dumpling? There is an Osaka Osho in front of it. If you try the dumpling, the Chinese style is basically it's boiled, but in Japan, the most popular one is the fried one. So, people in China, usually, they don't eat the dumpling with rice, but in Japan, usually, we eat the fried dumpling with rice by dipping the dumpling sauce. I know, it's carbohydrate, and carbohydrate, it sounds a little bit weird, but it's pretty good. If you never try, maybe you can try. You know the gyoza dumpling teishoku? It's very popular in Japan. Now, we are entering to the takoyaki area. It's Kukuru. One of the popular takoyaki restaurant in Osaka. There are the Konamo Museum inside. Also, Juuhachiban. Nice takoyaki restaurant, too. This building was renewed, and it was under construction for a very long time, but now, it's open. For local Osakaan, he's the... One of the most iconic mascot in Osaka, Kuida Ore-Taro. There is a mascot over here, too, but seems like it is not that popular for the travelers. Yeah. Well, maybe he just get a bit old. Even though this much people over here, no one taking a photo with the Kuida Ore-Taro. Oh, how sad. He was very popular, though. In front of the building, it's under construction. They are building something new. Maybe next time when we come back, we can see some new restaurant over here. We'll see. It's Fushikatsu Daruma. The deep-fried skewers. Wanaka is also a popular takoyaki restaurant. Now, we arrived to the Kinryu Ramen restaurant. This is also one of the iconic ramen restaurant. Oh my goodness! There is a long line in front of Kinryu restaurant. Seems like so many travelers making line in front of Kinryu ramen. Kinryu ramen, it's one of the oldest ramen restaurant around here. But, there are so many different kinds of Kinryu ramen restaurant. It's a chain restaurant around Dotonbori area. I think they have four, five? Many. So, if you visit the other places, you don't have to be in line. You just want to try. Maybe you can try it in the other place. It is a walking distance. It's very close to each other. They have a ponkotsu, the pork-flavored ramen restaurant. But, to be honest, it is very, you know, the classic style ramen. So, I personally prefer Ichiran. But, still, it is very popular for the many travelers. But, to be honest, for locals, maybe it's okay. Especially, recently, they increased the price to 900 Japanese yen. So, yeah, maybe if you want to try the classic style ramen, maybe you can try. Next to the restaurant, there is a Kamukura ramen restaurant. And also, Ichiran ramen restaurant over here. Those two restaurants are pretty good and my favorite. However, you can find it in many places in Japan. So, yeah, if you want to eat something special in Osaka, maybe you can try something different, too. Now, let's go check out that Ichiran building, which was on fire before. This is the Tazaemonbashi street, which is right next to Dotonbori food street. Much smaller bridge compared to Dotonbori Ebisubashi bridge. Oh, seems like, still, it's under construction. This place used to be the Ichiran ramen restaurant. But, now, because of the fire, it's under construction. And they are building something new. If you keep straight in this Tazaemonbashi, you will enter to the red light spot in Osaka, Soemoncho. Now, there are so many travelers, but when it becomes night time, the town atmosphere, it will change a little bit. This place is like the Osaka's Kabukicho. So, if you like the atmosphere of Kabukicho, maybe you can check out around this area in the night time. So, how about in the Hozenji Yokocho? The entrance is right next to Dotonbori. It is a nice quiet street. Much fewer people over here. This tiny street continues to the back street of Namba. It's Saturday, so must be many people in Hozenji Yokocho, too. Oh, seems like not that much, huh? Just turn left on the first corner. And here we go. We are at the Hozenji Yokocho. This is one of the tiny hidden shrines in Namba Dotonbori. Since it's weekend, so many people visiting over here now. Speaking of the travel station, Japan has surpassed 10 million inbound visitors in the first three months of this year. It's driven by the travelers from Taiwan, South Korea, Europe, and North America. Also, Australia. Marking the fastest pace ever for Japan's tourism market. Because of the politics reason, I thought there will be fewer inbound travelers this year. That's something that I worried about early of this year. But it seems like there are so many travelers, even though after the Expo, visiting Japan. And I'm super happy to see that. Hope I can see more of you guys in Japan, too. So, see you in Japan! Now, we are back at the big street. Speaking of something changing in Osaka... Well, for me, it's a good change. In Osaka, there used to be less ramen restaurant compared to Tokyo. Instead of ramen restaurant, there were so many takoyaki restaurant in Osaka. However, after the Osaka Expo, recently opened so many ramen restaurants. So many different kinds. To be honest, you know, it's a bit different compared to the local ramen restaurant. For example, it is like a oyster ramen. Or, you know, it's like a Kobe beef ramen. That kind of like touristy ramen also, but it's interesting. So recently, I've been trying so many different kinds of ramen restaurant around Dotonbori. You know, when I could try and found out which ramen is the best, I will let you guys know in the future video, too. So please look forward to it. Yes, now, you know, I'm collecting the data by eating it. It's a fun mission. You know, I like ramen. I like takoyaki, too, though. But for inbound tourists, they love ramen. So that's the reason why now we have more ramen restaurant around here. Now, we arrived to this Sennichimae Pachinko Street. There are so many pachinko store over here. The street atmosphere is a bit different compared to Dotonbori area. So this area is also very interesting street to walk and take a photo for travelers. Don't forget to visit here, too. In this street, too, there are also many different kinds of restaurants. Now, we came back to the corner. This is the Namba Nankai Dori. If you keep straight, you will get back to the Namba station. So this is the opposite side of the street that we came. Now, we are heading to the Kuromon Ichiba Seafood Market. Just keep straight in this street, and entrance of the Kuromon Ichiba Market is over there. This Chibo is also popular Okonomiyaki, which is the Osaka's soul food restaurant. We are at the back street of Namba, Ura-Namba area. There are smaller restaurants and the drinking restaurant around here. Compared to the main street, that's a bit different atmosphere. This Fukutaro Okonomiyaki and Teppanyaki restaurant, recently, it is very popular. And always, there is a long line in front of the restaurant. I've never tried, so maybe I can try next time. By the way, I personally like this small Chinese restaurant, though. If you love drinking with the Chinese food, yep, that small restaurant, that's pretty good. Usually, in the nighttime, there's a line in front of it. So, sometimes, you have to wait. But, yeah, it's a good restaurant in the back street. So, that's the entrance of the arcade. This Kuromon Ichiba Market is the one of the most popular seafood market in Osaka. This place is like the Kyoto's Nishiki Market. There are so many street food restaurants. There are many restaurants, something interesting, too. There are the Wagyu and the steak. Also, the seafoods and the tempura. There are many interesting restaurants, and also, you can enjoy so many different kinds of seafood and the food. So, it's very fun place to walk, and maybe you can try something different, too. To be honest, not that many locals eat over there because of the price. You know, Osaka is a merchant town. They love good price. But, as long as if you have a good budget, that would be a really fun spot to visit. Now, we are going back to the Namba Station area. It's an old back street arcade, South Road, Sennichimae. This is also a back street of Namba area. There are so many different kinds of drinking place. This street continues to the Dobuyasuji Street. Oh, by the way, recently, I've tried this ramen restaurant. They have a tomato ramen. Also, vegan ramen, too. Speaking of the tomato ramen, it's like eating the risotto. It is pretty good. It's a very interesting ramen. If you love ramen and tomato, maybe you can try that. So, that was the corner where I was before going to the Kuromon Ichiba market. And... This is the entrance of the Dobuyasuji. It is an interesting tool street. There are many souvenir shop and also tool store. If you want to have the budget meal udon, this is the restaurant that you want to come. They have a udon. Also, tempura bites udon. Only 300 Japanese yen. If you add the fried tofu, it only costs 370 Japanese yen, too. That's a good deal. A bit classic restaurants, but that's what the local eats. Interesting men. And also the bacon and curry. There is another new ramen restaurant. Also... Different kinds of restaurant, too. It says, It's one of the popular way of saying in Japanese. 1,000 customers comes 10,000 times. Meaning wishing for the prosperity. Now... We arrived to the tool stores area. They have so many different kinds of tool for the stores. There are so many different kinds of dish and chopsticks, too. Even though you can find a store lantern, too. Interesting street. And if you want to open it, takoyaki store. They have a huge takoyaki plate. After this street, there is an anime street. And then, also, it goes to the Denden Town area, which is the Osaka's Akihabara. There is an anime, too. If you love anime and figures, this is the area that you want to come. Usually, on the weekday, this street is much easier to walk. But since this is a weekend day, so that's why it's super crowded. Oh, I totally forgot to share about the temperature. Today's temperature is 24 degrees. Wind is 2 meters per second. 46% humidity. Sunset time is 6.32. I wear the light jacket, but during the daytime, it feels a little bit hotter. But in the nighttime, still, it will be cooler. So, if you are visiting Japan, don't forget to bring the light jacket, though. So, this is the Nansan Dori. And the other name, it is Ota Road. This is the main street. There is a soft map and, also, anime. Next to this street will be the main big street. We are at the Sakaisuji. This area called Denden Town. Beside this street, there are so many different kinds of anime figure stores. And, also, small electric store. This is the southeast part of Namba station. If you like Japan's otaku anime culture, this is a really fun street to visit around Namba area. Called Denden Town. Interesting. Zombie of Rocking Thailand. There are many Nichi store. And the back street. Here we go! We arrived to the south part of Namba station. If you feel like everywhere is super crowded, you can always come to this south part of Namba station. There are restaurant streets. Usually, those restaurants, compared to the Namba area, there are much fewer people over here. There is a yakiniku restaurant. And, also, soba and udon. Today, let's eat here. Looks pretty good. They have a set menu items. Ah, they have a drinking menu items, too. Small dish with beer. 1,000 Japanese yen. So, seems like this is the most popular one. The deep-fried shrimp, beef cutlet, and hamburger steak. That sounds good. Price is 1,793 Japanese yen. Let's do it! So, this kind of restaurant called Yōshoku Restaurant, meaning Western-style restaurant. Well, I know, for travelers, probably this is like a totally Japanese-style teishoku restaurant. But, for Japanese, baking time. You know, the pasta and, also, the hamburger steak. Well, those are the kind of new food for us. You know, it's like the Western food coming to Japan and mixed with the Japanese culture. So, eventually, it becomes a Japanese-style food. But, you know, for local Japanese, still, it is the Yōshoku, which is the Western-style food. Well, for example, this pasta called Neapolitan. They make the pasta with the tomato ketchup. And for Italian people, it sounds a little bit weird. Or maybe totally weird. But for Japanese, yes, it is a Western food. Interesting. Anyways, let's eat! All right, here we go. The food has arrived, and it looks pretty good. Let's eat! So, this is the hamburger steak what I was talking about in front of the Bikkuridoki. It's mixed with meat and bread powder. You can choose either rice or bread. And this time, I ordered rice. It's a nice sauce based by ketchup. Really good matches with the hamburger steak. And the next one. The pork cutlet with the steak. That looks pretty interesting. Itadakimasu! Soft steak inside and outside. Really crispy deep-fried Katsu. Nice! And my favorite, deep-fried shrimp. It's always good with tartar sauce. We used to have this kind of Yoshoku-style restaurant a lot. But recently, it becomes much fewer. But still, some of the place having the Japanese Western-style restaurant. So, if you never try, maybe you can try that. It comes with the macaroni salad. And also, there is salad with the carrot sauce. Plus, corn soup. Phew! That was pretty good. Price is 1793 Japanese yen. Thinking about the quality. Lovin' it! So, let's go outside! We are now in south part of Namba station. Heading back to Namba station for taking the Shinkansen. We are at the Namba parks now. This is the canyon-style shopping mall. One of my favorite spot. Now, we are walking under the Nankai Namba station. If you are heading to the Wakayama prefecture, this is the train that you wanna take. But today, we are using the subway. So, we gotta keep straight. Before riding on the subway, I need to pick up my luggage. This is the main entrance of Nankai Namba station. For the subway, just take the escalator. Still, we are in Osaka. Everyone stands on the right side. If you go to the left side, it will continue to the subway. But coin locker on the right side. Even in the busy day, usually there are availability in this coin locker area. So, that's why I always come here. And today, I just use this coin locker. So, let's pick up the stuff. And... Yep! It's open. This is the carry-on size luggage. And it perfectly fit for 500 Japanese yen size one. So, if you have a carry-on size, you can use the 500 Japanese yen. If you have a bigger one, probably you need to use 700 Japanese yen one. And if you have several luggage or extra large one, you can use this 1,200 Japanese yen, which is pretty big. Oh yeah, this one is open. And... Yep! It's huge. Maybe some people can live here. That's a wide one. Oh, wait! That was the widest one. 1,500 Japanese yen. So, I think that's for several luggages. And the extra large one, 1,200 Japanese yen. 1,200 Japanese yen one is enough, though, I think. You can even place the backpack, too. From Namba Station to Shinkansen Station, Shin-Osaka Station, it's a bit far. It's seven stations away. Well, hopefully, Shinkansen is not that crowded, though. Seems like next train go until Shin-Osaka Station. So, we are here, M20. And Shin-Osaka Station is the M13, Shin-Osaka. Some train stop at Nakatsu or Nishinakajima Minamikata. Well, even though you ride on that kind of train, you can just take the different train after that station. But, you know, it's just more simple if you take the train going to until the end. So, make sure to check it before you ride on the train. That train goes until all the way down to the Shin-Osaka Station. There we go. Let's go! All right, here we go. We arrived at Shin-Osaka Station. From here, you can just follow the blue sign to the Shinkansen. In Osaka, in the escalator, everyone stand on the right side. But, once we arrive to Tokyo, everyone stands on the left side. Yep, that's something different between Osaka and Tokyo. And also, that face recognition gate, only in Osaka. From Namba to Shin-Osaka Station, it was 290 Japanese yen. There are many restaurants and shops. Also, the bento store in Shin-Osaka Station, too. So, even though if you haven't eaten yet, you don't have to worry that much. So, let's see how long it's line for the Shinkansen ticket. That's the Shinkansen gate. And, Shinkansen ticket office is right front of it. So, let's be in line. Okay, not that bad. Let's time how long it will take. All right, that's it. And, it takes about four minutes. Less than five minutes. Not bad at all. So, now I could change the date. If you want to change it to the reserved seat, if you pay about 1,000 Japanese yen at the counter, you can change it to the reserved seat. But I assume, today, since there are not that many people over there, still, we can take a seat at the non-reserved seat area. We'll see. Yes! And that way, we can save 1,000 Japanese yen. Let's keep walking. So, this is very important things to know. If you are taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station, all the trains are the starting train, so that you can easily take the seat. However, some of the Shinkansen are coming from Kyushu region, and not starting train from Osaka. So, if you want to find a starting train, you need to find those over 300 numbers Shinkansen. So, seems like the next starting train, it's 451 Nozomi 456, the track number 25. Well, we still have 25 minutes, so probably, if we wait in front of the Shinkansen, we can have a seat later in which we can sit in Mount Fuji. So, let's go! We still have plenty of time. It's always good to have a extra time. So, track number 25, this way. By the way, inside the Shinkansen, there are many stores, restaurants. Especially, you can find 551 Horai and also Rikuro Cheesecake. If you are looking for the Rikuro Cheesecake, maybe you buy here. It would be faster. So, let's go to track number 25. Here we go! For non-reserved seat, always start from car number 1. So, we gotta go all the way down. Let me buy the drink here. All right, it's ready! So, still, we gotta go all the way down. Seems like still no one there. So, should be fine. All right, sweetie! I'm the first one! Actually, already some people are here, but they are not waiting in front of the line. They are fine, though. Well, one thing you need to know, inside the Shinkansen, they used to have the current service, which sells the drinks, small snack. But, after the pandemic, they finished the service. So, if you want to buy the drink, make sure to get before riding on the Shinkansen. Because from Osaka to Tokyo, it will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. So, you might be thirsty. Well, still, I think there is a vending machine inside the Shinkansen. But, you know, there are more choices outside. So, I just got a cafe latte, and it's perfect. Sweet! Seems like another Shinkansen has arrived, and that one leaves faster. But, this Shinkansen, called Kodama Shinkansen, looks same, but they stop more stations. So, that's why, if you are heading to Tokyo, this Kodama Shinkansen is slower. Still, we have 15 minutes to go. Wait! I just realized, we are at the number 16, and the non-reserved seat is all the way down. So, we gotta go back. I thought we are the fastest one. But, actually, they have the reserved seat. We might be in trouble. We'll see, we'll see. Still, we have 15 minutes. So, let's go back. What a rookie mistake! If you are taking the Shinkansen, be careful, too. Let's keep walking. Now, still, car 13. So, we gotta go all the way down. Shinkansen is a long train. No! Shinkansen is arriving! Haiya! We gotta run, and run, and run! Let's go, go, go, go, go! Haiya! Seems like it's too late. There are so many people waiting, but probably, still, we can find a seat, though. Let's be in line. All right! Let's go! All right, still, we could take seat letter E. So, this seat letter E is a seat that you can sit in Mount Fuji. Either you come in from Osaka or Tokyo, it doesn't matter. It takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes from Osaka to sit in Mount Fuji. So, hopefully, we can arrive there before the sunset. Finger crossed! So, this is the seat, how it looks like. There are plenty of space in front of you. It's much comfier compared to the flight. There is a power outlet beside the seat, as well. And, also, a small hangar here, too. If you wanna eat something, there is a table. You can place it over here, and you can eat. It's about 7 minutes before departure, but seems like, still, there are plenty of seats available. So, probably, we didn't have to be in a hurry. But I assume this train will be packed after the Kyoto and Nagoya station. We'll see. Well, it's supposed to leaving in 2 minutes before. But, seems like something happens, so, still, it's in Shin-Osaka station. I guess, finally, it's leaving. This Tokaido Shinkansen usually never late. It's my first time that, you know, this Tokaido Shinkansen gets late. So, goodbye, Osaka, and see you soon! So, just leave from Kyoto. And, seems like, all the reserved seats are taken. Wow, this time, we can see Mount Fuji beautifully. On top of the mountain, still, there are snow, huh? Beautifully! Here we go, finally! We came back to Tokyo. There we go! And, this train will be Kodama for the next morning. Tokyo! Still, Shinkansen is checking inside. So, so many people and the platform. So, from here, we will go to the JR Tokyo Station. Now, we are at the Shinkansen Tokyo Station. When you use this ticket, make sure to get one, because when you leave from this JR Tokyo Station, you need this. And, the Tokyo Station, it's very crowded, as always. So many people, before leaving Tokyo Station, they are buying souvenirs. And now, you need to use this ticket, and finally, you are out from the station. By the way, unfortunately, my suitcase, one lock is broken. It was a good suitcase, but unfortunately, it was broken in several years. Probably, next time, I'd better get the harder one. By the way, before leaving Osaka, I asked my parents to cut my hair again, so that I don't have to cut for a while. Yes! And now, we are at Tokyo Station, Mauno-uchi exit. Already, outside gets darker, but still, there are so many people over here. All right, so we came back to Tokyo Station. Well, I was planning to stay a little bit more in Osaka, but the reason why I came back to Tokyo a little bit early, because of the Golden Week. Yes, one of the biggest holiday in Japan is coming. Speaking of that Nozomi Shinkansen, starting from 24th of April to 6th of May, all the non-reserved seat will be the reserved seat.
