I visited Kansai the other day with two fellow Germans. It is always good to be back in Kansai, I really enjoy the atmosphere there. It's so different from Tokyo. Sadly, we only had 2 days there and I haf to go back home earlier due to my rigid work schedule. Anyways, 2 truly enjoyable days, a few pictures below. 
A girl-band playing in Osaka park. 
Monument in Osaka castle park. 
Takoyaki たこ焼き, one of the most delicious things from Osaka. 
The tip of Osaka castle, one of the many castles that burned down many years ago and are not more than replicas for tourists 
Around Osaka castle. 
Another side. 
Osaka skyline. 
The famous Osaka castle. 
I have to admit, this replica was a bit disappointing for me. Looks nice from the outside, but its very modern inside and even has an elevator installed for lazy ppl. :/ 
Again in color. 
And again because it is so awesome :) 
View from above. 
Castle in B/W.
Some old building.
Nice pet /)
As I said earlier, the food in Kansai is one of the main reasons why I like this area so much. :)
In the park around the castle, there is usually a lot going on.
Like these guys doing some skate-kind-of thing.
Dotonbori, a famous food and amusement street.
In Sepia.
The sex machine :0
The entrance to some kind of hotel.
A fugu-restaurant right above the street. yummy.
H & M ad in Osaka.
Another fugu restaurant :D
Takoyaki, a speciality from Osaka.
This here was the most famous, or according to this one magazine, the most delicious place to eat takoyaki.
At Umeda, Osaka.
The big Yodobashi kamera, a huge electronics store.
Busy ppl in the night.
Some random shrine.
And here, on my way to the night bus back to Tokyo. :)
