Osaka Logistics and Restaurant Recommendation
Ohayou gozaimasu, everyone,
I have about 12 hours in Osaka at the end of the week, and just wanted to clarify a few points.
I land Kansai at around 4pm and am staying at the RC. What is the absolute fastest way to go? I'm leaning towards the superfast train + cab combination, is there anything else that should be considered?
The next morning I need to be at Itami for an 8.30am flight. I don't do buses, and I don't mind paying for a cab, but am really most interested in the fastest (or at least wisest) way to get from the RC to ITM.
Lastly, if I'm in Japan, I want sushi. Mind blowing sushi. The kind of sushi that will make me want to sepuku to avoid spending the rest of my life searching for a comparable meal. Where should I go? Preferably somwhere I can go in jeans, not in a suit, but let me know if this is impractical. It should be noted that if the very very best place will run me $500 and an only-a-tiny-bit-worse place will run me $100, I'd rather save the cash. But I rely on your sage advice to guide me.
Domo.
