This was a great time in a city that rivals Tokyo in everyway. The people, I think, are much more friendly than Tokyo residents because they're not as accustom to seeing foreigners, particularly Americans as much as Tokyo folks. I think the nightlife is definitely better here, given that you're not being constantly harassed by African club promoter on the street as you

I've been to Tokyo once and loved it, but didn't know Osaka is that good. BTW, how do you like Kyoto?

Adding a few more photos should make this trip plan even better.

Didn't get to see Kyoto but I've heard that it's great for siteseeing and visiting traditional Japanese cultural sites. Worth going to take a bunch of cool pictures of old castles and Japanese artifacts.
