Japan Adventure [Part 2/5] - Rinku Factory Outlet, Tarui Beach & Kyoto

Day 2 in Osaka and it's the weekend.. finally a time to relax and breathe easy from my hectic schedule..

I used the Kansai Thru Pass to get out of Osaka, this time I travel 1 hour southwest to Rinku Town in Izumisano and then another 1 hour further south (although next to Rinku) to Tarui Beach to enjoy the sunset at the beach..

I bought a Adidas shoe for ¥2376 after a 50% discount off the factory outlet price, and a Nike top for ¥999 and a Reebok top for ¥1341 from AEON Tarui.. I would say these are really cheap! After all my shopping, I bought a pack of sushi and sit beside the Tarui beach and watch the sunset, it's really beautiful and cold!

I think Japanese are really obsessed with ferries wheels... plenty of it around..

On Sunday I spent half the day in the Osaka Kaiyukan Aquarium, supposedly one of the best in the world, if anything I saw from the Kaiyukan is that they have weird fish... and a hot guy..

Dolphins! They are jumping in and out of the water

Really ugly jellyfish... 

Super ugly jellyfish.. 

Touching a stingray~

Touching some fish I don't even know what's the name but its sandy and rough and hard..

The star of the aquarium - the big whale shark

And a white shark

Hot guy is feeding his dolphine.. I think he's cute :)

Bacon & egg

 ... and then evening I went to Kyoto's Fushimi Inari-taisha (thousand gate) shrine..

Somehow I find takoyaki is very yucky!
Not what I envisioned it to taste like....

At night on my way back to Osaka..
