I'm so lucky... my office is located just near Osaka Castle.
Everyday, I bring my lunch box and eat it in front of the castle!
Every early April, we enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms!

great tips!
Osaka seems to have great downtown and offices. is this feeling correct? do you have any national park near Osaka? would you know where can i find tips on Japanese national parks?
Osaka looks like a lovely place to visit. Would really love to visit. Is Aug or Dec a good time to travel.
Wow! I would love to come to Osaka one day! How about you coming to Chicago?
Hello Ayuri and Hiroyuki! I really enjoyed your pages, I have a great friend from College that is from Osaka, she is always telling me to go to visit now that we have graduated. Thanks for a virtual tour! ~Abi
Konnichiwa! I like your pages on Osaka. The cherry blossom looks gorgeous. I hope to be in Osaka next year in April so I hope I will get to see them.
Osaka castle looks beautiful! I hope to visit your country one day! BTw there are some cherry trees in Sofia, gift from the Japanes government, we see them blossom every spring:) greetings from Bulgaria
Someday I must get away from the airport and see Osaka. What a lovely view you have at lunchtime.
Osaka is nice city, good food
I was in Granvia Hotel, never knew about that view-roof. Too bad.
