Osaka, Japan

We have been toying the idea of a trip to Osaka for a while...

Finally I decided to check what is there really to see and experience in Osaka...

Half Day tour

Shin Umeda City/Floating Garden Observatory & Nakashizennomori

Shin Umeda City, full of greenery between the buildings.
Climbing up the elevators from the entrance of Umeda Sky Building among them, reaching Floating Garden Observatory on the 39th floor above ground. There is anopen "stairwell", enabling you to enjoy views of Osaka while walking around. The view extends as far as Awaji Island and Mt. Ikoma on a fine day, and the sunset is considered spectacular.
Floating Garden Observatory Adults ￥700,
Junior/senior high school students ￥500

=================================

The mega-size mass-marketer towering north of JR Osaka is always chock-full of shoppers. Well-stocked with cameras and PCs. All kinds of electrical appliances available. Many visitors come from Asia. Also there is a floor for the Comme ça Store filled with fashion and sundry goods and other fashion stores, and also a restaurant floor offering Japanese, Chinese, Western, and other delicacies. You
can spend a whole day here without getting bored.
