Otawa Falls from the stage of the main hall
Walked down the steps to the falls to wait my turn and take my drink. Not many people there, however majority of those that were were simply there for the photo opportunity, wouldn't actually drink, just have a photo of them pretending to. All very orderly, no one else on the stage when anyone went up there. Even for myself, everyone respectufully waited until i was done until they stepped up and took their turn.
Walked back up the steps and continued my walk.
Main hall unfortunately still under repair, guess I'll just have to come back once it's done
Koyasu Pagoda, where the trail takes you to and then a ramp down to Otawa Falls. So, no need for to have walked down then back up the steps previously
Walked down the hill to the subway station, couple of stops, change of trains then picked up my bag and a quick trip to Shin-Osaka. Change to the Midosuji line and I was on my way. Until I realised I was going the wrong way. no dramas, was only a couple of stops till the end of the line, stayed on as the train simply went back the other way. Was a little concerned though as it was nearing 5.00pm and rush hour.
Wasn't too bad, off at Namba and searched the backstreets for my hotel.
Business Inn Sennichimae. I'm pretty easy with hotels as long as they're clean and safe, as this one was, however this may have been a little too basic even for me, mainly due to the thin walls. Friendly staff, great location, about $90 a night, but wouldn't stay here again
