This is the first retrospective in 25 years of Naraju Koide (1887 – 1931), one of the leading modern Japanese Western-style painters. After graduating from Tokyo Fine Arts School, Naraju made his debut in the art world with his work “The Family of N” at the Nikaten Exhibition. He continued to pursue oil painting as a Japanese artist until his sudden death at the age of 43, leaving behind numerous masterpieces in still lifes and nudes. He was known as a master of nudes, and was nicknamed “Naraju the Nude.” In particular, in the works he created in the five years after moving to Ashiya in 1926, he elevated the naked bodies of Japanese women to a unique level of beauty through bold deformation and lustrous colors. This exhibition will trace Naraju’s career from his early years to his later years, along with his representative works from each period, and will once again explore the appeal of his oil paintings. It will also introduce his diverse talents in drawings, glass paintings, bookbinding, illustrations, essays, and more.

This is such a good way to explore the city with the incentive of getting a cool prize at the end! Any Pokemon fan of any age would love this, and even if you knew nothing of the franchise you can still have so much fun figuring out where the creatures are and the little puzzle at the end. I ended up doing 2 routes and getting gifts for my friends too! I honestly might do another one sometime later in my trip. The Pokemon cut outs were such high quality too, its already been a decent amount of months and they&rsquo;re all vibrant like new. I&rsquo;m glad the event lasts for so long and theres no time limit either.

The museum inside Osaka Castle offers a good overview of the castle&rsquo;s history with some interesting displays and artifacts. The interior has been modernized with elevators and air conditioning, which makes for a comfortable visit, though it does contrast sharply with the traditional exterior. The view from the top is a highlight.

I came to Osaka Port twice 10 years ago, and I found that it has not changed much after 10 years. I feel like I have traveled back to my teenage years.
The weather was quite comfortable on the day I went there. It was cloudy, there was little sun, and it was windy, but maybe because of this, the scenery was not so beautiful.
I bought a package ticket for the Aquarium KAIYUKAN + Santa Maria, 3700 per person. In fact, I regretted it a little. I should have bought a ticket for the Aquarium KAIYUKAN.
The Santa Maria runs once an hour. We came out of the Aquarium KAIYUKAN at 12:10. We waited for 50 minutes. It felt like a waste of time and we were very tired.
There are many places to visit in Tempozan, which is very suitable for bringing children.
