    近くにいらしてたのですね。船にも乗れて、観覧車も楽しまれて良かったですね。開発された場所ですが、古い港町が残っていまして、いつかゆっくり歩きたいと思っています。またいらして下さい。

    Your beautiful photos certainly brought me sweet and happy memories of my first trip to Japan. I remember this Osaka Castle, Santa Maria Ship and Ferris Wheel so well. You shared a fabulous scenic photos from 58th and 60th floor of the hotel which was kissing the clouds! It was like heavens up so high. Thanks for the fantastic photos.

    大阪にいらしたんですね。ご旅行の頃は東京よりはだいぶ暑かったのではないでしょうか。水の都大阪は、淀屋橋、天満橋、肥後橋、心斎橋・・・橋の名のつく地名が多いですよ。大阪の観光名所も水上バスやホテルの最上階から眺めるとこう見えるんですね。
