第一次去日本，赶上乐桃航空机票优惠（后来发现这家航空公司每个月都有优惠促销）。出去旅行，我喜欢自己计划行程，机票，酒店，当地交通，景点安排，整个计划做下来很有成就感。废话少说，开启看图说话模式。
This is my first time to Japan for travel. I chose Peach Aviation which is a low-cost airline from Japan. For travel, I like to plan all the itinerary by myself such as air flight, hotel, local transportation, and interesting places. It feels great when I do it successfully. Let’s start my journey.

这是我们的飞机。到达后天气不错。
This was our air plane. It was nice weather here in Osaka.

这是每个外国人入境都要填的入境卡，通常飞机上会分发，入境过关前一定要填好，尤其是最下面一行的intended address in Japan，我见到在排队的时候前面有个女孩子被入境管理人员大声询问地址的事情，我填的是第一天入住酒店的名字，顺利过关。
This is a Disembarkation Card for Foreigner. Usually it will be distributed on the airplane, and it also can be found before custom desk. Finish it before you pass the custom and be sure to fill in the last row “intended address in Japan”. I saw that one girl in the front of me had some troubles due to inappropriate content in this item. I filled in the hotel name I would stay in and passed the custom without any difficulty.

落机后，天都有点黑了，坐火车去大阪站，日本的火车很干净。
It was getting dark when we left the airport. We took a train to Osaka Station. It is very clean on the train in Japan.

下了火车都已经晚上8点多了，出了火车站，在附近找了一间拉面店吃了在日本的第一顿饭。可能是饿了的缘故，觉得很好吃。后来才发现很多日本餐厅都会供应冰水（加了冰块的水）。
It was already 8:00 pm when we got off the train. After we left Osaka Station, we had our first dinner in a Japanese noodle restaurant. It was delicious, probably because we were hungry. Later I found most of Japanese restaurant provide iced water for meals. The iced water is not only cold water. It is the water with ice blocks.

在去酒店的路上看到有艺术展，把蜡烛装到小瓶子里面，然后摆成各种图案。
On the way to the hotel, there was an art show. Artist put the candle into a small glass bottle and presented them in various patterns.

第二天早上，在酒店周围闲逛一下。
Next day in the morning, we walked around the area near the hotel.

这是我们住的酒店，条件很好。里面还有一个公共大浴场，很干净也很舒服。不过不能照相。
This is our hotel. It is very nice. There is a public large bath on the 16th floor. They call it spa and only for guests from the hotel. It is very clean and comfortable there. However no photos can be taken.

酒店附近的国立国际美术馆，很现代艺术的造型。
There is the National Museum of Art, Osaka. This is an iconic modern architecture.

然后去了难波，大阪的一个主要商业购物区。
Then we went to Namba, one of major commercial areas in Osaka.

这是购物商场上面的一个很出名的天台花园，整个布局搭配都很漂亮。
There is a very famous garden on the top of the building. The whole organisation and style is very beautiful.

到了午饭时间啦！午饭在难波的购物商场里面找了一间日式餐厅。
It was lunch time! We tried a Japanese restaurant in the shopping mall of Namba.

点了这两个餐，下面是实物。
We ordered two sets as in the pictures. The following were the real food.

相差无几！在日本通常都是物有所值，很少会发生像祖国有些地方被狂宰的情况。价钱贵的东西通常都是有一定道理的，在品质，服务和档次上都会有所对应。还有，在日本通常是不欢迎讲价的，如果讲价日本人会觉得你看不起他的商品。
It looked same. In Japan usually the money you spend is worthy of the goods or services you receive. There is nearly no cheating behaviours. If something is expensive, there shall be some reasons for it. The services and the goods shall be at the related price level. And in Japan bargaining is not welcome since people will believe you think their goods or service are not good.

吃完饭去道顿堀逛逛，还坐了游船，船上的解说很有激情，不过可惜没有照相留念。
After lunch we went to Dotonbori and took a boat tour. The Tourist Guide was very good and passionate. Unfortunately I didn't take any photo for this part.

在地下商业街遇到了每个月逢9日才有的饼干放题。
In the underground commercial street we found the cookie buffet promotion on 9, 19 and 29 every month.

最后去了著名的黑门市场。
Finally we went to Kuromom Market, a very famous fish market in Osaka.

当天最后的节目，也是最令人期待的，就是晚餐-六觉灯。
六觉灯是一家串扬专门店，米芝莲一星餐厅。串扬其实是炸串，是一种感性食物。日本人说的「六觉」，眼、耳、鼻、舌、身及意的六种感觉，就最能够代表串扬的感性一面。这家餐厅没有菜单，每个人就是20串，事先也没有说明是什么。不过在预定的时候店员会问客人有没有什么过敏不能吃的东西（后来发现只是要预定的餐厅都会问这些）。进餐过程中如果吃饱了可以随时叫停，没吃的也不会记费，比较公道。
Then came to the last part and also the most looking forward to part of the day, dinner at Rokukaku-Tei.
Rokukaku-Tei offers kushikatsu or Japanese deep-fried skewers of meat, seafood and vegetables, and the flagship store at Kuromom Market Osaka received one Michelin star in 2009, and every year after that. “Rokukaku” means six senses: the five human senses and the sense of creating. Tei means torch, a word chosen by Chef Hideyuki Tanaka’s master in hopes that many people will gather around and be drawn to this torch. There is no menu in Rokukaku-Tei. Everyone has same 20 skewers. When you make a reservation, an attendant will ask if you have any allergic food. (Later I found all the restaurants which could make a reservation would ask the same question.) If you are full when you have less than 20 skewers, you can stop at any time and the other skewers will not be charged. It is fair.

这是酱料，从左至右依次是柠檬芥末/淡醬油/芝麻醬/红酒醬/粗盐/细盐，上面的是吸油用的面包片，也可以吃。
These were sauces and flavors of powders: lemon with mustard, soy sauce, sesame sauce, red wine sauce, salt-and-pepper and powdered salt. The bread was to absorb excess oil.

还有一碗蔬菜，用来解油腻的。
And there was a bowl of vegetables to fresh the rich deep-fried oil if necessary.

炸串师傅会把串的尾部指向建议的酱料，如果指向两个中间就是两个都可以，如果横着放不指向任何酱料就是不需要蘸。
The Chef will point the skewer to the suggested sauce or powder. If the Chef point the skewer to the middle of two, then either will be OK. If the Chef point the skewer to nothing, which means no sauces or powders are needed.

还有面包。上面包之前服务员会问饱了没？当然没啊，大老远的跑过来怎么都要吃全才行。六觉灯还有个特点就是酒特别多，老板珍藏了几百瓶好酒，不过我只是叫了普通的啤酒，都很好喝。
There was some home-made bread, very delicious. Before they served bread, they would ask if I was full. Of course not, I came here from so far away, and I needed to have a full set. Rokukaku-Tei also has hundreds of good wines from his boss's collection. However I ordered the draft beer which was very good.

在大阪的最后一天，上午去了大阪站附近的商场购物区逛了逛。
In the last day in Osaka, we walked around in the shopping mall area near Osaka Station.

大阪站。
This is the Osaka Station.

商场外面很漂亮的水梯。
There is a very beautiful water stairs outside the shopping mall.

商场上面的天台花园。
There is a garden on the roof of the shopping mall.

午餐时间，橄榄油蘸面包很好吃。
It was lunch time. The bread tasted good with olive oil.

然后去了大阪城公园。
After lunch we went to Osaka Castle Park.

必游景点天守阁。
This is very famous Osaka Castle.

天守阁上鸟瞰。
This was beautiful view from the top of Osaka Castle.

晚上去了大阪之行的最后一个地方，摩天轮。白天来过一次，没什么人坐，所以决定晚上再来坐，夜景确实很惊艳。可惜手机拍不出好的效果。
At night we went to our last place in Osaka: Ferris wheel. In daytime, there was not so many people here and the view was plain. So we came here again in the night. The night view was awesome. Unfortunately I could not take good photos using my cell phone.
