Wacky random ramblings about wacky random trips


Breakfast at Osaka Fish Market

Bedtime in the Osaka hotel
This pic cracks me up for some reason

But now it’s another morning in Osaka, and so we are off on another adventure. Robert did a ton of research for this trip, including reading some (translated) Japanese blogs of things to do here and there. One of these local bloggers highly recommended a tiny sushi restaurant hidden deep in the middle of the largest fish market in Osaka—honestly the math checks out, you can probably find really good fish there!

However, it’s not a place where normal people go, let alone tourists. The Osaka fish market is not visitor-friendly, it’s not a place you go and tour or anything like that. It’s more like a giant industrial plant where no one in their right mind would choose to go.

So obviously it was a perfect place for us.

This was our first glimpse of it

We seemed to be across a highway from it—there were no signs to help guide clueless tourists lol—it actually was quite daunting.
