A garden of the sky


This is in Umeda. We can look around a magnificent view at 360°. The height of the rooftop is about 173 meter, an entrance fee is 700 yen, and the business hours is from 10:00a.m. to 10:30p.m. We can overlook the town of Osaka which is shining brightly in the night. I don't know how to express the beauty. In any case, it is a moving sight!! This is worth going.

DOUTONBORI


This is DOUTONBORI, in Namba. This is a bridge between Ebisubashi and Shinsaibashisuji. When Hanshin Tigers, a baseball team, win, some of lovers of Hanshin Tigers dived off the bridge into the river. Of course, it is very dangerous, so this bridge was put in good condition recently.
A billboard of GURIKO is also famous and many people take pictures. GURIKO's costume is changed depending on event.
