it's long question
really thank you for read them all.

sorry about poor english but my parent cannot use english at all

Thank you for your reply

Can't advise you much, but I'll answer a couple things quickly:

For first day at Rinku, as long as you don't have something *really* oversized you will be fine. I went there before with my family and they were carrying big luggages - they fit no problem.

And at the end about Dotombori - it's a street with a lot of good food, and I would definitely recommend a visit if you're doing the free pass thing.

Quickly clarifying - it's one building in that street, where they have some good food. It has an admission fee usually, so I haven't personally went yet. There's a TV outside of that place though, which shows you what you would see when you go inside - take a look and see if it suits your tastes.
