일본 여행기 2025 – 신오사카-도쿄 신칸센 이동 정보, 맛집 정보 포함
지난 한국/일본 방문중에 미국으로 오기전에 일본에서 이동했던 내용을 여행기로 남겨봅니다.  원래 나고야에서 나리타를 거쳐서 보스턴으로 오려던 일정이라서, 일본 입국을 오사카로 했었습니다. 결국에는 나중에 발권했던 ANA 일등석을 타기위해서 도쿄로 이동했어야 했는데요. 그 이유로 일정을 모두 바꾸면서, 신 오사카역 주변에서 1박, 도쿄에서 1박하는 일정이 되어버렸습니다.  오늘 포스팅에서는 오사카 간사이공항(KIX) 부터 신 오사카역을 거쳐서 도쿄역까지...
