Hello, I am Da Bao from Taiwan. Today is the fifth day of FUN! JAPAN Visit Japan Campaign.
Convenient and affordable JR PASS
We are using JR Setouchi Area Pass the whole day during today's transportation in the city. If you use this JR pass, you can ride all the trains on the Shinkansen, JR trains, buses and ferries. It is very convenient and profitable. What you need to do is just show it to the station staff, then you can go to the platform directly.
World Masters Games 2021 KANSAI
"World Masters Games 2021 Kansai" will be held in Kansai, Japan on May 14th, 2021. This tournament will be held in Asia for the first time. Any sports enthusiast who is over 30 years old from all over the world can participate. You can also apply for games of different sports events at the same time. It has over 50 types of games! In addition to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, you can participate or watch the game of "World Masters Games 2021 Kansai" in the Kansai area in 2021.
Let's having fun while doing sport in Japan!
Today, we went to a “ROUND 1” located at Nanba, Osaka, Japan. This is a complex exercise center which you can enjoy about 40 types of games. Let 's experience sports in Kansai before the World Masters Games. It is about 3 minutes from this Namba station. No only shopping and eating gourmet, if you come to Japan please try to visit “ROUND 1” and have fun.
We tried baseball batting first. You can choose the pitching speed from 60 to 120 km. Because I am not used to it the beginning, I can not hit the ball easily. I was swinging out the bat for a number of times without hitting anything. But gradually, I was hitting the ball. By the way there are both baseball and softball in the "World Masters Games 2021 Kansai" competition. I think baseball games are absolutely amusing. If you are coming to Osaka that time, let’s participate in or watch the "World Masters Games 2021 Kansai".
Approximately one hour passed, we went played darts. With this machine, you can play online with friends too! Everyone was excited, as everyone wanted to be the winner.
The most interesting thing is bowling. Because most of us are beginners, the game was interesting and fun with various throwing methods. Someone dropped the ball unexpectedly during the throw. We laughed!
There is also a stuffed toy placed in the bowling center shaped like a bowling pin. So, you can take pictures with it. It was really funny.
Since we were wearing a wristband as ticket, we can freely enter and leave the building within the limited time. So, we had our lunch outside.
After eating lunch, I went back and tried archery for the first time. The form was difficult, but it was a happy moment when the arrow hit the target. For "World Masters Games 2021 Kansai", because excellent players from all around the world gather together, it will be a fun and wonderful match!
Next, we did inline skating. I have not played it since I graduated from elementary school. I was fortunate that I enjoyed it without falling. And I can move faster than others!
It was almost the time, so we headed to Osaka Castle. The scenery was beautiful, and it was very good experience. I took a lot of pictures in this park. Everyone said that when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it will be more beautiful. At that timing, I would like to coma and see Osaka castle with cherry blossoms again.
After walking for a while, the moat finally appeared. It is the outermost part of Osaka Castle, but I already started to feel the beauty and the scale of the castle.
Walked further, we found this huge stone wall. It is really huge.
Finally, we reached Osaka Castle. There were many tourists despite the rainy weather. Taking some time to find the best angle for our cameras, we found a good place to take some pictures with Osaka Castle at the background.
Because the castle closes at 5 pm, we decided not to enter it this time. We enjoyed this beautiful castle from the outside.
This five-day trip was in a blink of an eye. Thanks to this opportunity, I was really happy enjoy traveling Japan with friends from various countries. Thank you very much.
FUN! JAPAN let me experience the wonderfulness of JR Setouchi Area Pass and the convenience of rental cars, also taught me about the host of the "World Masters Games 2021 Kansai", making it a very memorable trip for me. Everyone, please come and visit Japan!
