There are some nice restaurants on the top floor too.

    Also check out Tokyu Hands in Shinsaibashi for other interesting bits and bobs.

    Apart from that, get as much delicious food in you as possible. Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, ramen, yakitori, yakiniku, izakaya food/drink, sushi, even their indian stuff is pretty good (although very mild). I'd also recommend a trip to Tennoji up the tower, and then eat some Kushikatsu from the street just outside it (Daruma is my restaurant of choice). There's a fantastic sushi place down that street as well, on the left (or on the right if you're coming from doubutsuenmae station).


    Thank you. Yodobashi is not far from the hotel - and there's a Tokyu Hands near there too.

    According to my mate
    Unfortunately your mate is wrong. Those days were long gone

    Why else do you think Markymark is heading to Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan shortly?

    I might be interested in getting some camera gear (Canon), maybe something from Apple or a watch, but is there anything that is particularly good value out there?
