v3 Chapter 1220： Encounter in Osaka (1/2)
Latest website: Early the next morning, after Xia Yu and Elena had breakfast at home, Xia Yu changed into casual clothes. He was going to take Elena to the island country for a good stroll.
As for business matters, others have already followed his orders.
Especially for some plans, the preliminary preparation also takes a certain amount of time.
In the empty window period before the action, he would actually be more leisurely.
”Xia Yu, where are we going now?”
”This is my first time to an island country!”
Wearing a white dress and a European-style flower hat, she exudes a detached and secular temperament, very noble and beautiful.
But it was just such a princess-like girl in a fairy tale. At this time, she held Xia Yu's hand with a smile and love, and blinked at Xia Yu with big beautiful eyes.
For this trip, Xia Yu has made plans in advance, but he is not prepared to tell Elena now.
He deliberately created an atmosphere and smiled mysteriously: ”Elena, let's get in the car first, and I will take you to a place.”
”That place is not in Tokyo, but you will love it.”
Elena smiled more charmingly, tapped her head, and said expectantly: ”I am already looking forward to it!”
”Haha... let's go!”
After all, Xia Yu took Elena out and boarded the car, and then the convoy drove towards Tokyo International Airport.
He is going to take Elena to Osaka.
It's just that Osaka is about 550 kilometers away from Tokyo. If you drive, it will take too much time, and it will be annoying to ride.
So he can only use the fastest means of transportation-airplanes, short-haul planes flying from Tokyo to Osaka, and be able to reach Osaka before noon.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu took Elena out of the airport. His subordinates had arranged a car to wait. After getting in the car, he went to the presidential suite of Marco Polo Osaka Hotel to stay.
Jiuding Hotel Group has expanded to Osaka. Marco Polo Osaka Hotel is a five-star hotel, which was officially put into operation in December last year.
As soon as it opened, it became one of the top hotels in Osaka, with a very high passenger flow.
But Xia Yu didn't come here specifically to stay at the hotel.
After a short break at noon, at 2:30 in the afternoon, Xia Yu took Elena to Osaka Castle, one of the three famous island cities!
Osaka Castle was built in Ikutamaso Osaka in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, and was rebuilt in the Edo period. The Japanese castle covers an area of approximately 710,000 square meters. It is also called Jincheng and Kinjo.
Osaka Castle was the residence of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and the center of the Toyotomi regime during the Japanese unified Momoyama era. Later, Ieyasu Tokugawa destroyed the Toyotomi family in two Osaka battles and eliminated the Toyotomi family's traces, and then rebuilt it.
The current Osaka Castle is actually the equivalent of a brand new Osaka Castle built by Hidetada Tokugawa between 1620 and 1629. The citizens of Osaka call it Tokugawa Osaka Castle.
Nowadays, Osaka Castle has preserved many historical relics, and this ancient city is also one of the best places to learn about island culture.
However, Xia Yu's main purpose is not to introduce Elena to the island culture. His goal is more than 8,000 cherry blossoms in Osaka Castle Park!
The island country is called the country of cherry blossoms, and foreign tourists generally come to the island country to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
It's just that cherry blossoms mostly bloom in early spring.
It was mid-to-late April, and the cherry blossoms in most parts of the island country were basically withered. Although there are still many cherry blossoms in full bloom within Tokyo, they are not spectacular enough.
Fortunately, the cherry blossoms in Osaka died later, so Xia Yu brought Elena to Osaka to catch the last train.
”Xia Yu, it's so beautiful here!”
