We went to Family Mart near TOYO and filled some luggage delivery forms with the help of the staff. We wanted to deliver our two heavy luggage cases straight to TOKYO BACKPACKERS in Tokyo. With that done we wouldn't have to carry those things with us for the next few days.
First one. Osaka Castle! I finally got to see a castle in Japan.
Then to the famous Tempozan Harbour Village, with that giant ferris wheel and the Kaiyukan (aquarium). We didn't enter Kaiyukan though, crazy queue.

We actually went there but didn't get to enter..
We came upon this restaurant MORIYA and saw the menu. The famous Osaka-style Okonomiyaki! We just had to try it, and it was really tasty.
I wish I could show you that juicy piece of beef in the middle. As you can see it's quite different from the Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki. Looks neat, but just as delicious.
We went to Umeda for Thunderbird (shinkansen) heading for Kanazawa. We reached in the evening so it was getting pretty dark already. Ignoring that, we went to Nagamachi and visited the Samurai Mura, a well known samurai village there. Those old samurai houses were just beautiful, staying just the same as they were since the Edo period.
We had omuraisu there oh yeah~
Back at Kanazawa station, we saw this interesting little fountain display. It's got little water spouts spelling out words and kana/kanji and also stating the time alternatively, so cool.
A unique gate at the station
10pm we got on the NOTO Express, a night train bound for Tokyo.
End of Day 7.
