I witness this spectacular sky in the train, on my way from Osaka to Nagoya. It was one of the first time I could see such vivid sun rays! I know all three photos are similar, but I could not chose which one was the best. Which one is your favourite?
If only this was a video you could see that the lights in the tree were changing colour… oh well, you’ll have to take it as it is ^.^
The Umeda Sky Building (梅田スカイビル Umeda Sukai Biru) is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan, and one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two 40-story towers that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center. It is located in Kita-ku. -Wikipedia
I love this area, so much to see, eat, smeall, hear! I know no other place like this in Japan.
When I saw this ramen place I was so full of Okonomiyaki, I did not try them. But I heard they pretty good, I think you can get as much kimchi and pickled stuff as you want too!
Those small streets are so cool, pack with bars and cheap restaurant. Look a little bit like the Golden Gai in shinjuku, but bigger.
Very cool Tyrannosaurus Rex sculpture I found in front of a shop in Den Den Town
What kind of place charge you 7500 yens for 35 minutes… hmm. Must be a really nice buffet!
Den Den Town is the Akihabara of Osaka. Game station, maid cafe, manga store… got them all! Heck there’s even a shop dedicated to Gundam!
Tsūtenkaku is commonly mistaken for the Osaka Tower ( google osaka tower you will understand ) Also I found this article about the Tsūtenkaku tower on wikipedia and found it quite interesting :
“The current tower is actually the second to occupy the site. The original tower, patterned after the Eiffel Tower, was built in 1912, and was connected to the adjacent amusement park, Luna Park, by an aerial cable car. It quickly became one of the most popular locations in the city, drawing visitors from all over the area. The Japanese government dismantled the tower in 1943, believing that it would serve as a reference point for American bombing raids on Osaka: the iron in the tower was melted down and used for war material.” -wikipedia
