yeah we partied all night and then we went to Tsukiji Fish Market for a Sushi Breakfast, as in the Tokyo Urban nation documentary.....after eating our fill I passed out in a drunken stupor on the first train.

im going to osaka and okinawa in october, what is there in osaka? is there anything worth seeing or dong?

You should have posted this in the I'm Going to Japan thread :sweat:

i am sure there is a lot to do in Osaka....and also, to get to Okinawa, you will have to fly there from Osaka, it is far from Osaka.

please use the search button function, since there is a Japan thread already, the moderators will probably merge this

Thanks for the help guys, but im not going to merge it yet. it'll just get buried in the other thread and s/he wont get the help requested. if someone wants to overrule that's fine.

The only things I can think of right now are:
Osaka Castle
Umeda Sky Building (for a view of the Osaka area)

If you can, I would check out Nara (30-45 minutes east of Osaka) and the largest Buddha statue in Japan.

yeah shibuya is an exciting place at night....lots of young, hip ppl swarming the streets to go eat, drink, go clubbing, etc....it's very stimulating.

Merging.
