Yarn’s Liked Places

Yarn Lam: Platform 15 for Kansai Airport Express, take cars 1-4. At Hineno the train is uncoupled and cars 5-8 go elsewhere.

Yarn Lam: Come early and avoid the queues. The paper to indicate your preferences is in all Japanese.

Yarn Lam: Sit on the left of the boat for more thrills!

Yarn Lam: This ride is awesome too! Express Pass recommended!

Yarn Lam: Get the express pass for this! Great fun!

Yarn Lam: Minion Park is new and GREAT! The decor is hilarious and all the static minions have speakers underneath them so they talk all the time. Such a happy place.

Yarn Lam: Everything about this ride is great, makes you want to go again and again! Fly with Harry!

Yarn Lam: Magical place, lots of things to see and buy. The frog choir performance was funny. Frozen butterbeer is perfect for sunny days!

Yarn Lam: Buy your tickets and express pass in advance to skip the queues! Fantastic theme park!

Yarn Lam: Shabu-shabu buffet, all you can eat for 90 mins! Tonkotsu Base was slightly salty though.

Yarn Lam: Exit 4 for Tennoji Miyako Hotel, subway is directly linked to the basement.

Yarn Lam: It's not obvious from the outside that it's a Starbucks. Crowded.

Yarn Lam: Must-visit in Kyoto. Take your time to walk and sometimes the crowd clears enough for a good clean photo.

Yarn Lam: Best to skip this place when it's raining or you'll just end up seeing the back of your brolly and bang into other people who keep stopping to take photos underneath theirs.

Yarn Lam: Another large and confusing train station. Always check if it's the correct train before you board.

Yarn Lam: It's not crowded so you can take your time here. Came at night for some amazing views on a clear day.

Yarn Lam: Great relaxing cruise with lovely views. Go for the twilight one to see all the lights of Osaka come on at night.

Yarn Lam: Good views and not crowded. No waiting time if you take the normal gondolas, average of 25 mins for glass gondolas. Two of us had one cabin to ourselves.

Yarn Lam: DIY all-you-can-eat kushikatsu buffet for 90 mins. Fresh meat, great experience. Went away with full and happy tummies.

Yarn Lam: Pop in with your Osaka Amazing Pass! Great views of Osaka Castle from the top floor. The exhibits and displays are well-made.

Yarn Lam: On weekends they will open up the inside of the turret buildings for tours. Great history lesson!

Yarn Lam: The grounds are really nice for a walk or run! Crowded but the dioramas are worth a peek. Good views from the top, follow the flow cos it's very narrow.

Yarn Lam: A newer operator further up the river, not as crowded. Don't expect pirate stories though. Covered by the Osaka Amazing Pass.

Yarn Lam: Great place to see the nightlife of Dotonbori. There are street performances along the walk too.

Yarn Lam: Grab a light bite of takoyaki here! Freshly grilled by only one woman so you'll have to wait.

Yarn Lam: Small zoo but you get to see animals up really close!

Yarn Lam: Connected at the basement to the Tennoji subway station on Midosuji line. Really convenient. Room rates affordable.

Yarn Lam: After walking to the subway from the JR station, head to the ticket office on the right of the fare gates to pick up your Osaka Amazing Pass. Well worth it.
