Wednesday In Japan, Osaka Tower

fannygisele Ağustos 31, 2022

Osaka, Japan
One of my favorite cities.
Tokyo is beautiful very cosmopolitan but rather correct alpha+world city.
While Osaka is more down to earth super friendly, fun, exciting urban city.
Osaka is known for "good eating" and the saying "kuidaore" or eat till you drop was made up to describe Osakan's love of good food and I would add fun !
Of the many towers in cities all over Japan, I love the Osaka Tower the best.

But if I moved to Japan even with my love of Osaka, I would live in Mitaka.
I love this beautiful city but the draw for me it is the home of the Ghibli Museum.
Totoro forever !
Even though I would miss the Hanshin Tigers Baseball team.

View of Osaka Tower
Very famous for the neon lights, one side has advertisements and on the other side is public service announcements
..

Fugu, literally name river pig or blowfish signs
.

I have to keep myself from ripping down one of these signs
and smuggeling it on the plane probably just steps ahead of the police.
.

Takoyaki stand, yes please
.

Street view with great signage.
.

Underneath the Osaka Tower.
It has a tiny but the best Takoyaki stand.
Takoyaki is a ball shaped snack made of batter and filled with a piece of tako (octopus)
Comes on is paper dish with a toothpick for eating,
covered in Bonito (tuna) flakes and green onions.
Perfect street food.
