My Trip

Floating between two rivers, Nakanoshima has the highest density of architecture and art in Osaka. From a 1918 red-brick public hall to a 2022 black museum, a century of architecture gathers within walking distance. Safe even in the rain since you can focus on museums, and a meaningful course for lovers of architecture and art.
