On our most action-packed day, we went to check out the Osamu Tezuka Museum in Takarazuka (which I made a post about over here). Tezuka is the creator of Astro Boy, etc, aka one of the most influential manga-ka ever. The museum was really cute, and inspiring. It reminded me how when I was in 1st and 2nd grade, the thing I wanted the most in this world was to be a cartoonist.
That's Astro Boy's hand and footprints, btw. He's a small dude.
From Takarazuka, we went to Namba, which has the iconic neon sign Glico man view of Osaka.
We went to karaoke on a whim and had a grand ole time. Big Echo has a fabulous 飲み放題.
The next day, we had a picnic in 大阪城公園 Osaka Castle Park featuring food we bought at the supermarket and bakery by my station. Here I am with cheese.
Guess why I'm smiling.
One more for the road:
Big Echo is a chain?
ReplyDeleteQuite the chain! In the area of Osaka we were in, there's one about every half a block.
