Osaka, Japan

Osaka is Japan's seventh century capital and home to 8.8 million residents. A trade center with deep water port, Osaka is the center of finance, trade and cultural exchange for western Japan. Osaka and surrounding cities are home to many castles, shrines and temples. It is Japan’s second largest city. Rain and cool weather greeted us and hampered some of the photo qualities. Much of the city was destroyed in WWII and rebuilt since. Hence most of the office buildings have a modern style.

The architecture is simply amazing. Very climbable, but they frown on that.

There is a love of beauty and colors in this country.

This boat tree is more than 600 years old.
