Osaka 's Mai - zu garbage disposal site.
When I say the architecture of the world artist Hundertwasser, I can not say I will not introduce it here. It is neither an amusement park nor a love hotel. It is Osaka 's Mai - zu garbage disposal site. Towards the entrance of Mai zu (Mashima) reclaimed land in the west part of Osaka city. The theme park "USJ" is near, "It seems there are people who made a mistake. A strange coloring that red, yellow and black are mixed on the white outer wall. Structure that feels soft with curve. A red lightning pattern in a chimney says it imagines a flame of combustion.

While Osaka and the Kansai region are rife with Buddhist shrines, the Sumiyoshi-taisha Shrine is special in that it predates the appearance of Buddhism in Japan, and instead honors Shinto – Japan’s indigenous religion, which envelops the island nation’s folklore and mythology. The shrine is built in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri architectural style and is the oldest existing example of it. This style is characterized by clean, simple lines rather than elaborate curves, bold colors of red, black and white, and a roof that slants rather than curves up. The shrine is surrounded by beautiful grounds with natural scenery that changes by the season, so even if you are not interested in religion or history,

Opening in 1945, just after the end of World War II, Mizuno is the oldest Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) restaurant in Osaka. Ingredients delivered from Kuromon Market make up the wide variety of their Okonomiyaki toppings. Among its dishes, you cannot miss their Yamaimo-yaki (Yam Okonomiyaki), which has been its most popular dish for a very long time. The dough of Okonomiyaki is normally made up of flour and eggs, but Mizuno’s Yamaimo-yaki uses yam instead of flour, making the texture of the dough very soft. The natural sweetness of yam goes well with thick pork and vegetables on the pancakes, creating the unique flavor of Mizuno’s Okonomiyaki.

Yamachan is one of the most popular takoyaki restaurants in Osaka, where the dish originated. What makes Yamachan’s takoyaki distinctive is the taste of the dough, which blends original chicken soup stock cooked with various fruits and vegetables, and Japanese style soup of kelp and bonito. Cooked on its special takoyaki pan at a very high temperature, the outside of the takoyaki ball is crisp but the inside remains nice and creamy. Although it is tasty without any sauce, you can also try it with their special soy sauce and ponzu.

Danjiri Matsuri
The Danjiri Matsuri, (float festival) is said to have its origin in the “Inari Matsuri” held in the 16th year of the Genroku era(1703). Created by the Lord of Kishiwada Castle to pray for an abundant harvest, the festival, from its very beginning, enjoyed tremendous local support. The Danjiri Matsuri quickly grew in significance for the people of Kishiwada. Gates normally barring townspeople from entering the castle grounds were thrown open on festival days.
