Osaka and Kyoto

Arrived Osaka, Japan 07:00 today. 

Lat 34° 39.4 N Long 135° 25.8E.

Got off Queen Elizabeth at 09:00am


Used subway system to get Shin- Osaka station to travel to Kyoto on the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) a truly. brilliant service. We were in Kyoto by 10:15. To say we were adjusting to an unfamiliar city, signage etc. Much easier than anticipated.
