    Very excellent experience

    We arrived in Osaka early in the morning and we barely slept during the flight, so my friend and I took a snap onboard. The tour guide, who is a very cute young lady, asked if we felt sick. Haha. We didn’t mean to embarrass her but we were way too tired. When we passed the ancient wall of Osaka City, she introduced everything in detail to us. It’s a good tour and we like it. If any suggestions, I hope you can open the observation deck onboard, so we can have a better view of the city around us, like the Tokyo Cruise.
