Shiga Prefecture and Osaka (Last half Day)

Took the train to the last station to Shiga as it was near another station that allowed us to take rapid train back to Osaka. We ended up exploring around the station and discovered soba restaurants with many people queuing and shrines around. Seem to be very popular with elderly Japanese. 

Went back Osaka and went to Tsuruhashi station which is famous for Korean town and full of Korean restaurants. However as we walked around the main street with all the store helpers pushing the menu and talking to us, we discovered a small alley and found a queue forming at a old and dirty looking place.  Turned out to be the best organ bbqs we had so far and within budget. Won't recommend those that cannot read hiragana and cannot recognise names of organs since they do not have pictures.

Finally we found decent lunch at Shiga!

Long queue everywhere for lunch, seem be a tourist hotspot with locals.

Very local style and all the orders were written in Hiragana and no pictures. 

Very tasty!
