We had a wonderful week of vacation in Osaka. Love the place - so massive yet so well-organised and well-connected. Its infrastructure is amazing, and the people are really helpful. Aside from the numerous attractions for children, there were also scrumptious food and fantastic shopping. Kids and parents all enjoyed the vacation, except for the endless walking!
The kids behaved really well on the flights. Kept themselves entertained with the ipads, inflight movies, and goodie pack from the airline. Of course, they kept asking if we were there yet.
We stayed at the Weekly Green in Nanba - a very basic apartment. Very old-fashioned, but very cozy, has a small kitchenette, conveniently located in a nice, quiet neighbourhood, which made us feel like we were residents moving about, rather than tourists.
Our 4-bedder room cost us only about SGD178 per night.
And the kids were totally amused by the toilet bowl that has a sink on top of the cistern.
There was no housekeeping. So we had to clean up after ourselves - including bringing our rubbish down to the garbage area.
Very importantly, their staff speak very good English and could give us good and clear directions to the places we wanted to visit. It was also near the Daikokucho subway station, and the JR Osaka loop and Imamiya Japan Rail station. There were also a number of convenience stores and a 24-hour supermarket nearby.
It's definitely a place that we'd highly recommend ..... for those who don't mind "lao-goh" and lack of room service!
