Hello all again! Actually writing this from Bangkok but just to sum up Japan, we had a great time in Osaka and the people were probably the nicest we've come across in Japan! Using Osaka as a base and using the trusty Shinkensen bullet trains we visited the best preserved fortress in Japan in Himejji and the ancient capital of Nara.
