Day 1
Kyo-Chabana
2nd floor Shin-Osaka Station
Osaka, Japan
06-6152-8751
Hello peeps! I just got back yesterday from my vacation in Osaka, Japan. I was tired from all the walking we did in and around Osaka but we had fun during our 8-day stay.
Kyo-Chabana facade
We arrived at around seven in the evening. From the airport, we bought 2
Kansai Wide Area Passes then rode Kansai-airport Express Haruka to
Shin-Osaka station. After checking in Remm Shin-Osaka, the only decent restaurant that was still open at 10:30 in the evening (last order) aside from McDonald's was Kyo-Chabana. Little did we know that Kyo-Chabana is famous in Kyoto and Osaka for its okonomiyaki. The restaurant is located one floor down from where we stayed.

Coke 190ml JPY 315 (PhP 157.50)
It's Coke Sakto! Everything in Japan is overpriced ; p
hook and hanger available for jacket and scarf
Note the grilling station in the middle of our table. The okonomiyaki will be served hot on the grilling table.
utensils and wipes
baskets under the seats for belongings
Japanese people are honest. I once lost my one-day unlimited pass (bus/train ticket) and found it exactly where I thought I lost it.
DH hungry but still smiling for my camera
sleepy me pointing at the bestseller on the menu
Bestseller Okonomiyaki JPY 1,239 (PhP 620)
We ordered the first on the list of Top 10 Okonomiyaki. It was sooo good! It was cheesy, gooey and very tasty ; ) The shiso leaves chiffonade balanced out the taste of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and the okonomiyaki sauce.
chiffonade - very fine julienne
beef okonomiyaki JPN 934 (PhP467)
The size of one order was just like the palm of my hand. Yes, it's so tiny... we had to order two okonomiyaki from the menu.
Let me share with you some photos taken right after we landed in Osaka...
