Kuidaore Osaka

Kuidaore (食い倒れ)literally means eat till you drop and no other city other than Osaka befits this title more aptly. Mentioned Osaka to any Japanese and chances are food will inevitably become the main topic of any discussion.
Food attraction and perhaps shopping aside, there is hardly anything about the city that is off much interest to me. Although this is my second visit, my first being some 7 years ago, I've forgotten how ugly the city looks. Well, I know that you can't expect much from a concrete jungle of a city but somehow Osaka just appears grayish and messy. Or perhaps this is a result of having stayed in the countryside for too long now.
Anyway, we've seen enough castles for the time being and were feeling a bit too old for Universal Studio so after a really cheap and good sushi lunch, we spent some time in the afternoon wandering the streets before heading to our intended and much anticipated destination, the ancient capital of Kyoto!
