My time in Japan is starting to come to an end. Only about 10 weeks to go until i'm back home in Australia. So before I go home I want to capture some photos of my home town for the last 18 months. Osaka, like any big city comes alive at night. It's famous for it's food and over eating. The dished are usually much larger in Osaka and there are just restaurants everywhere. Anyway last Friday night i headed into the Namba, Shinsaibashi area which is also famous for the neon lights.
Here's the entrance to Namba parks. An upmarket shopping centre. On each roof of the terraced building are nice gardens and an auditorium.
This is the famous ferris wheel or festival wheel as most Japanese people seem to call them. It's in the young area of dotombori. You can get great crepes just next door.
This is the main eating area of dotombori. There are hundreds of restaurants and lots of takoyaki street vendors and of course like everywhere in Japan, lots of bicycles.
This is Hozen-Ji. People who work close to water or some type of water related industry come here to pray. You throw water over the moss covered statues for good luck.
One of the many Takoyaki street vendors around Namba. This one is my favourite but usually there is a huge line on the weekends.
Den Den town. Which basically is electron town. This whole area is full of electronic shops selling computer parts, cameras, audio gear and the latest technology. This was the first place i visited when i arrived in Japan in 2005 to buy my lumix fz30 camera. I had been in the country less than 12 hours and had it charged taking photos.
