Sometimes, the big rubber duck appears in Osaka.

Osaka is known for its number of the rivers.
There are lots of small rivers in Osaka.

In Edo era, it was said that Osaka had 808 bridges.
The number was not actually 808, but it meant a lot.

This area is now called Nakanoshima gate, because the edge of Nakanoshima, downtown Osaka, can be seen.

The Aji river flows to Osaka Bay.
