In Osaka today, and in Kobe yesterday I've noticed washrooms are less everywhere, Tokyo always felt like there was bathrooms maybe it's just because we're around the side streets more often but at least we've found bathrooms quickly when needed.

Being in new places will always be stressful, but I bought 3 things today in Osaka, one was a keyboard with kanji, it was less than $20 (¥1800), it goes for $128 online 🤣 I also bought a ps4 tank dating game? and a switch train game. Seems like a fun items for me.

i did start playing yakuza because i was soo excited about going to japan i wanted to do some virtual tourism first and i was trying to not replay p5r again but unfortunately that did mean when i saw the kabukicho sign i was like wow just like in my video game!! and presumably the same thing will happen tomorrow when im in dotonbori

Yakuza 0’s recreation of Dotenbori is surprisingly accurate, but the least realistic part of Sotenbori is that there’s only one donki. There need to be at least two within a 2 minute walk of each other

DUDE?

What's up with my glico man 😭😭😭

[selfmaderibcageman]

i forgot to go see the glico man in osaka. but tbh. the sort of big city namba area kind of sucks

[pardi-real]

I really love these kinda "If characters from __ series went to karaoke" videos

But especially Akuneko since the cast are mostly rising stars (except the Villa butlers' cracked VAs). Man, that Lamli & Ammon's song is super good like wth

More faces on Dôtonbori

There are the classics on Dôtonbori: Kuidaore Tarô, there's a well-known animatronic crab, and of course the Glico man. I reckon this ramen-loving dragon is my personal favourite.

... though, giving it some thought, I quite like the hand holding a sushi and Spiderman reaching for a pearl too.

But oh boy, are you ready for some real randomness?

This is the front of the Dôtonbori Hotel. According to Atlas Obscura, the hotel had these pillars made to symbolise them welcoming people from all over the world - the faces represent East Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe -, at a time when domestic tourism was dwindling (early 1990s).
