elusivekWoke up early to get the hotel breakfast (just in a bakery on the ground floor of the building)
Then took a long long bus ride. I originally thought I could walk there, but then it was really quite far away. I arrived early, so I walked out to the lakeside to see Lake Biwa. Those who learnt Japanese with the books Minnano Nihongo and also Kihon (forgot the actual full name of that book) would have read of "Lake Biwa" (Biwako) many times.
Eventually made my way back to the Sagawa Art Museum where... Pokémon and Pottery!
I'm just going to leave the photos here and only pipe up when I have something to say.
The one on the left is of a mushroom type Pokémon (forgot the name) but I couldn't see it. The one on the right is Haunter and Ghost. I only see Haunter though.
This one was meh, it's just putting Pikachu's face everywhere.
Merch! Happy Shopping. I persevered and did not get any plushies!
Made my way back to the hotel, got my luggage, and train to Osaka. When I arrived, there was a Pokémon Center on the same building, so I decided to go up and have a Quick Look, since I've bought all that I needed to buy already. And It's not just Pokémon! I also like Slime from Dragon Quest.
One of the internet popular places I saw was this Onigiri Gorichan and supposedly it's huge onigiris, but I thought them... pretty normal.
Then it was to the Pokémon Cafe where I made the wrong booking. No worries. I'll just skip it. But this... do you see this? Is this cannibalism? That dish that Pikachu is holding... there are Pikachu ears in it. Did Pikachu cook another Pikachu??
Night time walkaround Namba/Shinsai bashi.
Donki.
I sort of remember this crab being a larger one. Hm. Maybe my memory's wonky.
Quick dinner of Ichiran (used to be a lot better).
Oh I also visited one crane catcher place just to have a walk around. Cute. But, it's like a casino, the house always win. I only changed some 10 coins and played them all, then it was time back to hotel.
