We checked out of our hotel in Hiroshima and took a street car to the bullet train to Fukuoka. Arriving to the city, we did the mistake of taking the green bus to the hotel. It took it 75 minutes to travel 5 km. We wanted to kill the driver. :) We arrived at the huge hotel and checked in. We weren't upgraded at first from our executive deluxe room on the 30th floor, but after a chat with the front desk manager, we were upgraded to a gorgeous executive deluxe suit...

After several lazy days in Osaka, we took the bullet-train to the city that needs no introduction, unfortunately - Hiroshima. Due to the weather, the trains were super late (for Japan) and we ended up sitting in a reserved seat although our ticket was not reserved. Hiroshima has no metro so we took a street car to the hotel, checked in and got upgraded. Again, we were assigned a smoking room which we immediately switched. We visited the memorial museum and park, ...

We woke up to a zero percent visibility through our 55th floor window. It was pouring rain. We had a chilled breakfast and returned to the room to rest some more.

We then went to a huge electronics department store. Ah yeah, we ordered 3 separate packages from Amazon Japan today. They all arrived to our...

Woke up to another hot day in Osaka. Went to see the beautiful Osaka castle. On the way back to the Metro, stumbled upon an open gate at the park and heard loud music. We entered only to realize it's Osaka's philharmonic orchestra preparing for the evening's concert. It was amazing!!! We were the only ones in the crowd and they played for us as we cheered. We later spoke with the conductor, which was very nice and energetic. We then went to visit the art museum, ...

Headed to the big city today. Took a train to Osaka and took the elevator to the Marriott's lobby on the 19th floor. Upgraded to a room on the top floor. 55t floor with a STUNNING view. :-) Got lazy afterwards and went to the great looking Club lounge. Went to a huge Ferris wheel by the beach and returned to dinner. Later on, went to see a nearby shrine and went for some groceries shopping. We were due to visit Universal Studios tomorrow, but due to kids school h...
