As promised, pictures!

the view from our room - a little bit of the old, but mostly the new (the traditional building you see in the bottom center is a famous theater in Osaka which is still actively used today)


our room information and where we are in Osaka


more city shots with an office/residential building with a funky garden in the back:


And a close up of the gardens:


A close up of one of the dishes in our breakfast this morning at the Japanese restaurant in the hotel (included in room rate). We got lucky because they usually only offer breakfast here on Sat and Sun but because today's a holiday in Japan, they were open as well


And a view of the whole tray (mostly gone, I'm afraid by the time I remembered to take photos)


The entranceway to the Japanese restaurant (sorry it's a little blurry - didn't notice it at the time)


(to be continued)
