Hi Joan
Many thanks for all the info! I’ve got to check in with my parents about temples, I’ve found this to be a bit hit & miss with them on various occasions 🤷♀️ (Great tip on the dumplings tho!)
I had Shinsekai & Tsutenkaku Tower on my “maybe” list, so thank you for that. (I’m hoping to do the Tsutenkaku Slide!) And yes, Dotonbori also on the list specifically of the boat trip but I was going to skip the port area, seemed a bit of a hike. We’re staying in Kitahama and I was trying to restrict our movements to one subway/metro ride with no changes or easy taxi.
Again, many thanks! 🙏🏼
