Nightlife Spot: Minami District
Minami means "South" but in Osaka it means the south district, which is the city's center for shopping and entertainment. Streets are literally lined with shops and restaurants, health clubs, theatres and just about anything else you can think of. For all its reputation as being expensive, I really didn't think that things here were all that dear. A visit to Osaka really should include the Minami if not to partake in the fun, then simply to walk around since there is really an atmosphere to the throngs and the double parked cabs that really brings Asia and Japan to life. The photo shows the front of a famous restaurant that specializes in crab, if you can imagine. You can't see the claws moving in the still photo, but they do. The other major area of Osaka is Kita, which (I think) means north. That area is the center of business but also offers a lot in the way of restaurants if not somuch entertainment.

Hi We are all product of differnt cultures, so lets be honest about our limit to understanding other cultures. Ths looks your basic thinking. I even believe that this is an important starting point for understanding cultures. Good luck and greetings. | Bilimari Fri Jun 15, 2007 21:35 UTC
Love Kiyomizudera! It was a difference face in ever season. Just got back from Japan/Thai trip. Spent a day in Hiroshima, but didn't eat Okonomiyaki. :( | Pixiekatten Wed Feb 28, 2007 22:06 UTC
