Let's try TAKOYAKY (Octopus), a Osaka famous dish. Hard Rock cafe if you like music is a nice place to eat something or have some drink.

Shinjuku, Tokyo is a good place to stay, it's close to everything, shopping, food, nightlife. The train station is a block away from the hotel so you can get anywhere in Tokyo in no more than 20 minutes. Tokyo subway and train station is a little confusing but I was able to figure it out in a day.

Osaka is a highly organised city with a very efficient railway and subway network. Be aware though that most signs are in Japanese! The country's shrines, culture and gardens are fascinating. Do go !

Stayed at Grand Palace, Hotel - Tokyo, Japan.

Pick 5 places that look interesting to visit per day and go for it. My favorites: Asakusa temple shopping eating and drum museum, Ueno museums park and zoo, Shinjuku shopping (evening lights!), Tsukiji fish market (early morning!).

Stayed at Osaka Airport Hotel - Osaka, Japan.

I flew from Osaka Itami airport to Miyazaki and had a great time touring around the city and surrounding countryside. I visited a fair number of shrines and casltles, Udo, Miyazaki, Aoshima Island shrines and Obi castle as well as the Aya castle. A group of us visited the winery in Aya and sampled a variety of wines and saki. An excellent trip.

Usually there for business, Shinjuku station is quite close, so the hotel's location is convenient.

It was centrally located and we found it easy to get around the city with the metro system. There is a metro stop close to the hotel.

I found the basement supermarket of the adjoining department store a good place to buy low-priced meals. I also recommend the chiliburgers at Mos Burger!
