Great Tour for Solo Traveler!

As a solo traveler for the first time, I thoroughly enjoyed my guide, Mouloud! He was very informative and knowledgeable of Osaka and its history. We went to the Umeda Sky Building which I found facinating, then to Ohata Tenjin Shrine which I found was a sad, true story about two forbidden lovers who committed suicide, and off to the Japan Mint where I enjoyed the many varieties of Cherry Blossoms/trees. Overall, if we left out the shrine and added maybe more modern architecture onto the tour, I would have rated higher. Otherwise, Mouloud was great!
