    I wanted to attend a rugby match in Japan, as it’s on my bucket list. It was easy to get to, a 5 minute walk from Higashi Hanazono station, just follow the crowd. Everyone was extremely helpful when we were purchasing tickets. The match itself Kubota Spears v Toyota Verblitz was entertaining.
    The atmosphere is different to matches in Australia but enjoyable with a good size crowd braving a chill wind for the game.
    The stadium is easy to access and finding our seats was done with ease. Asahi was available for cash by a team of vendors roaming the stadium 👍🏻
    An experience I would recommend to anyone if you’re in Osaka on a Saturday during the season.

    Interesting street. A stretch of street with fortune tellers, shrines and dessert shop. Interesting local food. Near Ishikiri station. If you go by Ishikiri station, the street starts from the upper slope and you walk downward and two sides of the street fill with interesting shops. Local desserts. Many interesting along the street and the most famous is the Ishikiri tsurugi shrine. I did enjoyed walking along the street.

    How to insert a memorial and museum honoring the life and career of a prolific modern author into a densely populated suburban Osaka neighborhood without overwhelming the site or the neighborhood? The architect, Tadao Ando, has succeeded quite nicely here. His signature glass and concrete memorial building fits seamlessly into the 'garden' area surrounding the writer's comfortable 'modern' home/studio. While the author's home itself is not open to visitors, a view of his workroom is seen through its windows opening onto the garden. The separate Ando building manages to contain a symbolic 30 foot high bookcase displaying the author's 20,000+ volume library, a small collection of memorabilia, an auditorium. a small gift shop and tea-and-sweet cafe area. As the author's works - over 100 titles - are intensely historical and Japanese, very few have been available in translation. Accordingly, the museum contents are also almost exclusively Japanese. The site is a ten minute walk south of the the Kintetsu Nara line station, Yaenosato, in eastern Osaka. A few signs have been painted on the sidewalks nearby indicating how to reach the museum/memorial. Local taxis make the trip in minutes.

    amazing and beautiful place. Just wished they were a little more open to let people wear what they wanted (like gloves) and not so obsessed about where you step (even with a stroller).

    Rugby World Cup will be held in Higashihanazono, Osaka in 2019. This character is called “Try kun”.
    He was born in 1991 and his hobby is playing a rugby. He is kind, friendly, and love curry bread because it looks like a rugby ball! You will see him at the World Cup game in 2019.

    It's wide, so clean, and complete library I've ever seen. I feel so comfy to reading here. A lot of people coming here for work, study, or just reading. You will find what book you like here. Anybook.

    This observation deck is free to go to. We went on a Sunday and had a little problem finding the entrance as most of the entrances were closed. We had to go down to a lower level (down stairs) on the outside of the building in order to find an open door. There is one elevator to go to for the South Observation deck and a different elevator for the North Observation deck. On the North Observation Deck there was an English translator which was able to point out some of the buildings we were seeing. There was also art pieces which were very interesting to see and read about. Much less crowded than the Tokyo Skytree that we saw the day before. The Tokyo Skytree is mostly alone as the sole large building in its location so you see smaller buildings around it offering a wider view. The Metropolitan building is among several larger buildings which makes it harder to see off in the distance. But some views are better than others. If I had to choose again as to which to go to I would choose the Metropolitan gov. building over the skytree.
