After having a good sleep. I plan to visit Namba area down the south of Osaka. It contains various kind of food and shopping centres. However, my first place to visit is Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum. This museum is unique of its kinds. It is the only one in the world to have a permanent Kamigata Ukiyoe exhibit. Kamigata Ukiyoe are woodblock prints from the Kyoto/Osaka region that typically feature portraits of kabuki actors.

Today I will unveil the secret behind Osaka. I am going to visit the Castle Museum and the Nakamoshima Park, as well as taking a boat ride. The castle museum covers about 60,000 square meters of ground and it is also 'Golden Castle' by Japanese. I can probably imagine the scene in Sengoku period that warriors were fighting for their leader and their own country. The castle must act like a indestructible barrier that stops many attacks.
Nakamoshima Park, on the other hand, is built in 19th century with the fusion of Western culture. It is located at the middle of an island and it was the first public park opened in Osaka.
