We’ve finally entered autumn – after a scorching and humid Auckland summer that saw every kiwi panic. Every type of fan sold out (yes-there is a first time for everything) and opportunists were reselling them for 50% above retail price on Trademe. Oh, New Zealand. This soft rain and cloudy afternoon weather takes me back to winter in Japan. Trawling through the 5,000 or so photos we took, I found these Osaka Castle gems that I was supposed to post but never did. One can never get enough of the beauty of Japan. Though if you are sick of me and my embarrassing four-month long holiday withdrawals and would rather see some burgers and brunching, deal with it please let me know.
Tip 9: Entry into Osaka Castle is 600yen. As with all other hotspots there is queueing involved, so take the stairs instead of waiting for lift.
