19 Feb - This trip was made possible thanks to YB who won a pair of Silk Air ticket and he has gracefully gave 1 ticket to us. Of the various destination, we chose Japan and it is off to Hiroshima we go on Chinese New Year 初三.
Departed in the wee hours of the morning and we arrived in Hiroshima just in time for breakfast. As the airport is not connected to the train line, we have to take a connecting bus trip to Hiroshima JR Station.
As we need to rush off to Osaka, we bought a bento set and settled our brunch on the train.
Arrived at our Air BnB accommodation for the next 3 days near Osaka Ebisuchō Station. Quite a big house for the price we paid and very near the station 5 exit. Only complain was that the heater was not strong enough. The host (Franx is the company name) is quite friendly and he picked us up and showed us around the house. The weather here at this time of the year is cold, ranging from 1C to 10C.
By the time we settled our luggage, it was already 3pm and we promptly went in search of our lunch near Osaka Station. We settled on Ichiran and their ramen is awesome!

We went on to visit the Kuchu Teien Observatory but we did not went up as we felt there is nothing much to see since the sun has set. Instead, we visited their souvenir shop and tour around the building.

Next, we visited the Osaka Pokemon Center and have fun taking pictures with the various Pokemons!
