Japan: The Same Thing, Really

Some friends from Melbourne arrived today, so we went to meet them at their hotel. Went to the wrong one however; instead of the Hotel Shin Osaka, we wasted 20 minutes going to the Shin Osaka Hotel. For lunch, we had all-you-can-eat sushi. Afterwards, we were walking around when we saw a guy offering "free entry!" to something that we weren't sure of. We went in anyway. The place, Doutonbori-Gokuraku, was like a little theme park - a recreation of an old Japanese town across three floors of a building. It was cool and strange at the same time.
