Things to Do in Osaka

Kansai Gaidai is in the greater Osaka area in Japan. For reference, Osaka is to Tokyo as Boston is to New York. They even have a very similar Red Sox/Yankees rivalry: the Osaka Tigers vs. the Tokyo Giants. Who knows if I’ll actually have the time or means to get into downtown Osaka while I’m at Kansai Gaidai, but if I can, these are a few things I want to do.

1. Umeda Sky Building
2. Universal Studios Japan
3. Osaka Aquarium
4. Tennoji Zoo

With new found energy from our descent we rode to Vail Pass on one of the most beautiful bike paths I’ve been on in this country and then it was a twisty descent back to the Vail Valley and the covered bridge we had started at.
