Osaka's Tsutenkaku tower.
If you walk under the tower and look up this is what you'll see.
The lively entertainment area of Dotonbori.
A river runs through it.
Where there's a river there's always a boat. In this case it's the Don Quijote tour boat.
The Dotonbori river in the early morning.
The city of Osaka likes to keep their river clean.
They slowly cruse the river picking up floating pet bottles and plastic bags.
The streets are full of tourist from Asian countries.
It's a colorful place.
On the right side of this picture is the iconic Glico running man.
This is actually the front of a hotel.
Are you a girl that would like to entertained by a man? If so, for a price these guys are up to the task.
The streets are packed with places to eat and drink.
This is a city where you can get a drink 24 X 7.
I couldn't resist.
I've never seen so many lanterns before.
Lanterns are everywhere.
Every ally is packed with restaurants.
If you have money you can eat. The streets are lined with vendors selling any kind of food you want.
I need a beer!
I needed chop sticks too!
Street life.
Last day of the trip and we visited the Expo '70 Commemorative park where there is a beautiful lotus pond.
It was a hot day. I think it was the hottest day of the year.
The star attraction of the '70 Expo was this - The Tower of the Sun!
To enter the Tower of the Sun one needs to make a reservation in advance - we did. Inside the tower is the tree of life. It's amazing but photography is not permitted.
Last view of the park before we got on the monorail train and started our trip home.
Thanks for stopping by!
