I arrived at KIX and jumped on the train to Namba station. This is where I met up with my group. We went to the place I was staying and got my pocket wifi. Then we started to go around Den Den town and local area.
One stop we did was Namba Yasaka Shrine. It is a Giant Lion’s head.
Wandering Leopard trips are CULTURAL BASED.
We walked around a bit and came upon some Gachapon, which I love.
As it was getting late, I wanted get something to eat and we ate a ramen shop.
Afterwards, Tanaka-san wanted to move his car to another parking spot, closer to where we would end the day.
After a couple hours and it getting dark, we ended the day and we said our goodbyes. But before that. We had to do a group shot!
