Following the previous post, I will walk around Nakanoshima area.

I returned to “Festival City” where I started to go around Nakanoshima.

I stopped by “soLella”, a cafe in “Festival City”, for dinner.

I ordered “Nakanoshima Waffle”.

The National Museum of Art, Osaka

Just like the daytime, I will move west along Tosabori river from “Festival City”.

The sun went down gradually.

I reached “The National Museum of Art, Osaka”, which I visited in the daytime.

The museum was exceptionally open in the evening this day, though it usually closes at 5 p.m.

In addition to its artistic exterior, the light-up was fantastic.

The special exhibitions of “The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow” was held.

Walking around Nakanoshima Area

I will return toward “Festival City”.

As a key tenant of “Festival City”, there was “CONRAD Osaka”.

If I were rich, I would stay at “CONRAD Osaka” 🙂

Then, I will move east from “Festival City”.

From here, I started to use a tripod.

The Bank of Japan Old Osaka Branch.

When I took photos on a bridge, a sightseeing cruise ships passed.

I just found pillars were also lighted up in addition to electric lamps.

“Osaka Prefectural Nakanoshima Library”, which seems to appear in Greek mythology.

This western style building was “Osaka City Central Public Hall”.

Another cut from a distance.

Then, I returned to the hotel and the first day of my Osaka trip was over.

That’s it for the article about evening view in Nakanoshima area as part of Day 1.

Speaking of light-up in Nakanoshima, “Osaka Hikari-Renaissance” along with “Mido-suji Illumination” was popular as seasonal tradition in winter. If I have another chance to visit Osaka, I would like to watch it in winter 🙂

In the next article, I will write about Osaka Castle as part of Day 2.
