2012.6.22

The weather forecast said it would be rain, but it became very fine.
I went to Kaiyukan (海遊館), the aquarium and the Osakajo (大阪城), the castle and Kuchu teien (空中庭園), the floating garden today. 
It was the first time to visit the aquarium.  It's been a year since I visited the castle last time.  The floating garden opened on July 2, 1993.  So I think it's been about 19 years since I went there last.
These three places are touristic spots in Osaka.

I went to the tea room at a hotel and the restaurant and ordered tea today. To my surprise the tea pots were served with candle to warm the pot. I have never seen the way to serve tea like this. I was wondering this is the way of Kansai (関西) area or not.
At night I watched a movie titled "Princess Toyotomi" which was shot in Osaka. Since I am in Osaka, it is interesting to see the places I have just seen or walked by today.

I came to Osaka (大阪) after a long time. I do not remember when I came here last. When I worked for Panasonic, since its headquarter is in Osaka, I had many chances to come here for the training.
Osaka is very famous for foods and it is said "Tenka no daidokoro (天下の台所)," the kitchen of the world. Tonight I ate Korean (韓国) foods.
