On Day 12 in Osaka, Japan, we decided to first take a quick day trip to Nara, a city that’s about a 45 minute train ride from Osaka. We then returned to Osaka, and had some of the finest sushi I had during my trip there.
00:27 Trip to Nara – Nara is an old and historical town in Japan, not far from Osaka and Kyoto. It’s very easy to get there by public transportation. The first thing you’ll notice as soon as you arrive to Nara are the deer – they are free roaming all over the city, and people love to interact with them.
2:48 Todai-ji Temple – 500 JPY ($4.17) – One of the biggest and most famous temples in Nara is the Todai-ji Temple, and although it was intensely busy, we decided to pay the entrance fee and go inside. It was good to see, but it was a very busy day that we visited.
4:09 Lunch at Happoh Restaurant (和食屋 八寶) – After walking around Nara for a while, we headed back towards the train station, and had lunch at a restaurant called Happoh Restaurant (和食屋 八寶). The food was alright, but not the best. We then took the train back to Osaka to do some shopping and eating.
6:15 Tenjinbashisuji Shotengai – Tenjinbashisuji Shotengai is the longest shopping street in Japan, and it goes on for something like 2.6 km. We got back to Osaka, and walked around this area, before eating some amazing sushi.
7:23 Harukoma Sushi (春駒 支店) – While walking around the shopping market, I noticed a line of people, all waiting for a turn to get into Harukoma Sushi (春駒 支店), a famous sushi restaurant in Osaka. I had researched this restaurant and had wanted to eat here, but I didn’t know when we were going to get there, or where it was – but we stumbled into it, and decided to go straight in line to eat there. The sushi turned out to be some of the best sushi I had in Osaka. It wasn’t fancy, but it was good quality, big pieces of sushi and fish, and it felt like we were at a fish market. Awesome sushi, good prices, and friendly service.

That was all for Day 12 in Osaka – it was another good day, and the sushi was the highlight for me.

The garden that you didn't visit is The Great Masterpiece of Japanese gardens. Others are very nice, but not comparable.
Its called Somen,are very thin noodles made of wheat flour,less than 13 mm in diameter.It is used extensively throughout East Asian Cuisines.The most common example is Japanese somen and the noodles are usually served cold with soy sauce and dashi dipping sauce,similar to mori soba noodles style.

Am I the only one who laughed when he said soy it?
$8 for going to a traditional garden , actually very cheap, i'm sure lots of viewers would have liked to see it .
You went Nara at the wrong time it’s too busy at that time to really enjoy Nara
IT’S AN ACQUIRED TASTE, I DON’T CARE FOR IT! ?
Your eyes look so happy. How lucky are you! Ummm…
Ho
Not slot machines ( Pachinko ), however, it’s a grey area as far as the casino aspect. Gambling in Japan is for the most part illegal. But, Japan has many incongruous aspects to its society and laws. In the pachinko parlor as their known you may claim prizes after turning in your “balls”…But, in lieu of those you can get tickets, go outside to a discreet window, press a button, and slide your money to whomever is in there and Yen is returned…So, in the formal sense it’s illegal to gamble on the premises, but a loophole in the laws allows you to get cash instead of “prizes”. Hence the popularity of Pachinko in Japan. I was moderately successful playing pachinko and it’s more of a game of skill than luck, but it doesn’t hurt!
He eats 1000 kind of foods but he always do the same face?

Eating Natto
Mark Wiens: “Yeah it’s sour but it’s good”
Everybody else: “AWW IT TASTES LIKE A FERMENTED ASSHOLE!!”
Question: Why do so many people walk around with masks on their faces?
Nobody eats like Mark in Mark we trust lol
Those sites are expensive, but I think well worth the price, soo beautiful to look at. Also the "Casino" on that shopping street is a room full of Pachinko machines. That is a ball bearing game that looks like part pinball machine and part, The Price is Rights calls a "Pinko" game. You shoot the ball bearings into a maze of pins and points are given, depending on where they end up at the bottom. Fun game, but addictive.
Oh wow he chews so hard lol.
ildol

10:03 долбоеб. Бесит рожа его тупая. Будто рыбы не жрал никогда. Вечно это выражение лица ебанутое.
sushi looked great
You should research Ama Abalone divers , They are seasonal so you can plan ahead for spring , This abalone is prized in japan and very expensive. The Ama divers are all older woman and they are trained to dive without tanks , free diving only to get abalone
