Hey guys, (I just thought of the title just now.. I'm pretty pleased with it!)

In Osaka, can you theoretically keep going round and round?

OK, well, I only want to go round once!

Can you get a ticket from Tsuruhashi to Tennoji and... go the l-o-n-g way (through Tennoji and then round again!)? Laughing

You've obviously never been here around Hallowe'en.

you can loop the loop but i would advise against doing so in daylight hours as osaka is the ugliest city on earth and you would be taking a greivous risk with your sanity.

Of course you can. I have had many early mornings taking the Nishi Akashi - Takatsuki train back and forth. No one woke me up to tell me to get off. Not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

According to my buddy, after all-night party in Tokyo, the cheapest hotel in town is called the "Yamanote Line." I can't imagine it's too comfortable but still probably beats a cardboard box in the park.

It doesn't shut down? I assumed that it did.

Sweetness!

No, no. It DOES shut down.... As I said, my friends slept there AFTER an all-night party in Tokyo... Smile In other words, in the morning.

Well if you're in Tokyo for a party, you're probably going OUT of Tokyo in the morning, in which case, it would really be quite comfortable Smile
