Osaka

Osaka was kind of an afterthought, and I am glad we actually made it here, although it was a brief stay. We were on our way from Kyoto to Hiroshima, and already had our tickets and everything. We had to transfer from Osaka to Shin-Osaka to catch our long distance train, so we decided that since we were already there, we should take the last train out of Shin-Osaka for Hiroshima and see what we could in the couple hours we had available.
Osaka's main attraction for the night time is the Umeda Sky Building, which is essentially two buildings, about 100 feet apart, connected at the top by a sky garden.
You get out on the 36th floor and ride escalators suspended between the two buildings and enclosed with glass to ride to the Sky Garden.
I wish I had a tripod.

This is one of the extremely long escalators suspended between the two buildings. Looking out or down was a pretty cool experience.
