We stopped at Kyobashi station to have breakfast at Back Street Coffee, but they were closed, so we doubled back and had breakfast to Deli Cafe Kitchen Kyobashi instead. It was right at the station.
We brought the muffin with us, which was lucky because the Expo '70 park was bigger than we realized and we got hungry halfway.
Expo '70 Commemorative Park
You have to transfer to the Osaka Monorail to get to the Expo '70 Commemorative Parkand again, my first time on a monorail. We paid JPY540 in cash for tickets to the Japanese Garden inside the park, but the Expo park itself was free.
The Expo Park is nice to walk through. There are patches of what are supposed to be flower gardens in the spring.
The Japanese Garden was, for me, the best garden we visited, and the toilets there were 10/10 amazing (yes even for Japanese standards).
We headed back to the hotel for a bit of rest before heading out again for our only nighttime outing for this whole trip.
teamLab Botanical Garden
Any teamLab installation gets labelled touristy and gimmicky but as a lover of illuminations, the teamLab Botanical Garden was an amazing experience. It's a quick walk around the park but really immersive.
All the walking for this day topped us at 30k steps and our feet were basically jelly as we got back to the hotel.
