Southern Osaka Walk/Run

Yesterday morning, from my hotel located at Shinsaibashi of Osaka, I took a walk/jog down south.

Here's Ukihashi (Floating Garden) Pedestrian Bridge over Dotonbori

Tsutenkaku - a famous tower in in Shinsekai.  The history of the tower goes back 100 years, but the current tower was completed in 1956.

The base of the tower - it is made of concrete. 

One of many Billiken statues close from Tsutenkaku.  I learned that this strange figure's origin is American.

A new skyscraper - Abeno Harukas under construction was seen from Tennoji Zoo.  It will be the tallest commercial building in Japan.
