Hi we're going to Osaka! Behind us is the Osaka Castle and other than the main building itself there's a very large park around here where millions of people visit every year So we're at another pet cafe and this cafe is a little bit different because we have reptiles! Other than lizards, they have other reptiles as well as scorpions and tarantulas This is the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum There are so many cup noodles here and you can find out about the history of instant noodles and you c
an even make your own! Like we just did It's super early right now and we're at the Osaka Central Fish Market Every morning at 4:15am there will be a tuna auction where suppliers from Osaka will get their fresh supplies It's 10am now, which is what will happen if you come late Here at Fushimi Inari Shrine, you see thousands of these Tori Gates Which are donated by worshippers from all over Japan There are many fox statues around the place because foxes are believed to be messengers of Inari We'r
e at Nara Deer Park We're going home Actually Japan doesn't seem too expensive from what we thought it was right? True. We had meals for under 5 Singapore dollars and it was delicious Thanks Scoot for the comfortable ride
