Today was All Star Walk Osaka day. I met the tour guide, Minako, at Osaka Station for a three hour tour of the station, Namba, Shinsekai and Dotonbori. Here are some photos of the tour.
This is the garden on the rooftop of Osaka Station City. They had everything growing there.
Daruma Daijin… he stands for NO DOUBLE DIPPING! as the sauce in the restaurants are used by everyone, and nobody wants sauce that’s had your mouth all over it.
Lamps at Hozenji Temple, Namba.
Cat sleeping at Hozenji Temple.
Shinsekai again, with Tsutenkaku Tower in the background.
Toy boobs (?) at the Tsutenkaku gift shop.
I forget if this is Namba or Shinsekai.
It was an excellent way to see the sights and learn about the history of the area. Minako ( in the last photo on the left ) was the guide and super-funny. If you ever make it to Osaka, do the All Star Walk.
Oops, forgot the hero shot of Dotonbori – The Glico Man!
