At this point, you may have some money left, so why not go shop at Osaka's shopping haven! Shinsaibashi and Namba are the two most crowded shopping areas in Osaka and promises you a good time!

Alternatively, you can try to go to Kobe (we did not do Kobe because Himeji castle was under renovation till 2015).

In the end, we caught a 11.30pm flight to KL!
