Wandering Leopard Day 2 Osaka/Kobe 2019
The next day I wasn’t going to be meeting with anyone (initially, that changed), so I decided to go around Osaka. My plan was to visit the Nunobiki waterfalls that were behind Shin-Kobe station. A 15 minute Shinkansen ride took me to me from Shin-Osaka to Shin-Kobe.

After that quick hike, I headed back to Shin-Osaka, explored there a bit and then went to Osaka station. Did some shopping. I also saw a few leopards! With one being a Tomica rotating display!
Next was going to the Hep5 wheel. I’ve always seen it, but never checked out… this day I had nothing but time.
I was planning on doing some more exploring and I was almost tempted to go to Nagoya just to explore a bit. Then I got a message from Uchida-san saying if we could meet up tonight after he gets off work. I said that was no problem. I had brought some gifts for him. He told me it would be later in the evening. I told him I am not meeting anyone else, so we can meet. He told me to meet him in Dotonbori (which I was staying near). Until then, I headed back to Den Den town to explore more of the back alleys. I then went around Dotonbori when it started to pick up for evening rush. I met with Uchida-san in Dotonbori and we had some dinner. We’ve always talked and communicated, but it is usually at an event or online. This was the first time it was just us. I gave him his gifts and gave him an extra seat switch that Renny gave me.
The next day, he tested the M30 seat switch that Renny made.
