After a short flight from Taiwan, we arrived at the Kansai International Airport. We exchanged money, picked up some tourist information, and rode the train to the hotel. Our home-away-from home in Japan was once again the Hotel Monterey Osaka; Ken and I stayed at this same hotel in June of last year. The only difficult part about getting to the hotel is the maze of underground passageways from the train-station to the hotel. It was only until the last few days of our stay, did we finally get the hang of the signs and didn't have to do any backtracking.
On our first night, we ate at a restaurant in the Dotonbori. It was a rainy evening and the neon and mechanized signs, which the Dotonbori is so famous for, were powered-off to conserve energy because of the quake. The night ended well with the location of a geocache.
