Blossom, Bamboo, Skyscrapers and rain

Welcome to Osaka.
Its was dry when we got to Osaka's world class Aquarium, wet when we got out. After jostling with Japanese children and grandparents for a couple of hours whilst we watched Dolphins, Sea Lions, Otters and Whale Sharks (6+ metres long) through "30cm of Acrylic Glass" we were ready for a coffee in the first dry coffee shop that we found. Later we had a look at the Umeda Sky Tower but before long we called it Sayonara and headed back to the luxury of Mitsui Garden Hotel.
