Soo Jeong and I left Matsumoto early in the morning on the 18th to head to the island of Kyushu. Going by bus was more economical than trying to book an expensive flight, so we took buses to and from the island. On the way there, we had a partial day layover in the city of Osaka, famous for a number of reasons; Osaka Castle, Osaka dialect, and more specifically the foods; okonomiyaki and takoyaki. The layover was fun, and we decided to indulge in Osaka's version of okonomiyaki for lunch, followed by a sample plate of takoyaki bought at a stand as we explored the city.
From Osaka we took an overnight bus to the island of Kyushu, landing in the city of Kita Kyushu, where we ate breakfast looked at the castle, went to a shopping center, and made a trip to the airport to meet Soo Jeong's friend from Korea who came to travel with us.
Me with my infamous goofy smile.
Okonomiyaki- egg, cabbage, some sort of baking powder, squid and beef topped with sauce and fish flakes. Delicious.
Just a view down one of the canal areas of the city.
The castle in Kita Kyushu.
