After our wonderful walk to see the blossoms in the morning,  our visit to Osaka Castle,  and a great buffet lunch at the Doubletree with the view of the Castle,  we were tired!  We had a SCAN appointment for the afternoon.   Senior Citizen Afternoon Nap SCAN.  We are old.   we needed it!

But after a few hours resting we were ready for our evening outing!  We walked just a few blocks to the canal and the Dotonbori section for street food and the lights, sights, and people!

a few nibbles here and there.

Dotonbori is famous for its signs and lights

altogether a fun first full day in Japan!
