Kansai Airport and Osaka

Konichiwa! That`s how you say "hello" in Japanese! Our plane landed 24 hours ago, and already I have seen so many temples and shrines. My personal favorite was one with five pure white swans swimming in a pool filled with carp. The gardens, temples, and shrines are quiet and calm, even if they reside right next to a four-way intersection. When our plane landed, we got off and took a Haruka train over to Kyoto from Osaka/Kansai airport. From the train, I saw fields of rice and something that may have been lettuce. After the 11 hour plane trip, I was so tired, I fell asleep before we reached the outskirts of Osaka! We took the subway to our hotel and set up shop in our room. Because we needed three beds, the room was VERY crowded. After we unpacked, we went out in search of food. Since this post is only supposed to cover Osaka and the airport, that`s all for now!
