Osaka

We could hardly wait to board the high speed bullet train to Osaka!  Who doesn't want to blast through the countryside at nearly 300kmh?  The Optimist may have turned his seat heater on and faked sleeping for this pic, but it was all cheers and adrenaline onboard.  


In just a few hours, we were off the train and exploring the sights of Osaka Castle.  It's tough to see in the picture, but this impressive castle is surrounded by not one, but two massive moats.


This 16th century stronghold is impressive indeed...


... but the Optimist felt sure it still needed a stealth Samurai for further protection.




Nothing to worry about with this group of fearless warriors!


When a samurai needs backup, he looks to his ninja friends, experts in all manner warfare, especially the ninja star.
