Very busy and crowded, but good food and shopping all around! Went to have Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki as it is a must in Osaka! more »

雖然來過很多次了⋯⋯ 但是來到這不論白天還是夜晚, 看到固力果就是會再次停下來拍個照; 大概這就是這裡獨特的吸引力。 more »
Even though it has been many times ... but it's not the day or the night, seeing that the solid fruit is going to stop and take a picture again, presumably this is the unique attraction here.View original
