Stayed at Kinki, Hotel - Osaka, Japan.

We went to Osaka Castle and the Umeda Sky building but we didn't go on any tours. They were well worth the visit.

The destination was convenient. We walked for a few km and found many shops, restaurants and services. There is a Harley Davidson restaurant nearby which was interesting. Also a small dry cleaner/refreshment shop that had friendly accommodating staff.

If arriving by air, check with the hotel location and time for their shuttle bus - it is 1/3 price of a taxi and takes the best route!

Osaka castle on a Sunday afternoon is a must, if only to people watch as you walk down the road towards the castle.

Heading to the hotel for the first day was a difficult one. The name of the hotel is not visible at all because it was block my the next building. It actually took us 1.5 hrs to search for the hotel alone. Location of the hotel is good. Easy access to train. It is good to stay.

Shinjuku is an excellent part of Tokyo to stay it is very central and convenient for getting around the rest of Tokyo. We only stayed 2 days but I would recommend Shibuya as a place to visit for shopping, it's much easier to find your way around than Shinjuku, which is very big and spaced out. Also my favourite place was Harajuku. Excellent shops, wonderful restaurants, fantastic atmosphere. Visit the Meiji shrine there, very peaceful.
I recommend a restaurant in Harajuku, just near 'Gap' clothes shop. An italian called 'Venie, Venie' We spent our last night there. There is a terrace, decorated with fairy lights, overlooking the skyscrapers of Tokyo City. Food was excellent, settings amazing.
