Tsu-ten-kaku
This is a tower in Osaka called Tsu-ten-kaku. It is a symbol of Osaka and people there are proud of it. It is not as high as Tokyo Tower, but it is very unique. In Tsu-ten-kaku there is a statue called Bliliken. It is famous because it is believed that if people touch his foot, they will be richer. The word of the tower says HITACHI prasma television. Just an ad. Why don't you buy one for yourself?

The Horse Racing
Horse Racing is one of popular gambles in Japan. There are many horse racing tracks in Japan. Even Tokyo and Kyoto have ones. I am not sure if they are happy to run, but as long as I see from their running, they are beautiful when they run. This horse is named "Natural Make". Interesting eh??

The Lantern
We put a light inside of lantern made of paper. The letter said Ka Tou Jii which means Flower Light Street. As this name says, this has better flavor than the lights themselves. Once this lantern shines on the street, it has more Kyoto-ness.
