Not true, there are some amazing areas of green space in Osaka. Not least (as already mentioned) is Osaka Castle park, several square kilometres of beautiful greenery where you can completely forget you are even in a city. Then there is Nagai Stadium Park, where the World Cup was held a number of years ago, houses a natural history museum in the midst of a large and beautiful botanic garden surrounding a lake covered in water lilies. At night the park becomes a place for people to practice instruments and various martial arts, even throughout this the entire park remains very peaceful and serene.

That is truly remarkable. If a stadium is abandoned in the US we either blow it up or allow it to become a blight. This is an excellent example of what a little bit of creativity can do.

The place has about as much greenery as your average Simon mall, it’s the architecture that’s really quite interesting. The greenery is impressive when compared to the rest of the city, though, as other than Osaka castle there’s very little greenery in the whole of the city.

I’d say the Dotombori area would be much more interesting for visitors. And Den-Den town right next to Namba Parks would be ideal for anyone interested in Japanese media and electronics(Sofmap is awesome!)

People in Osaka love baseball, they just didn’t care much for that particular team (Nankai Hawks, now located in Fukuoka). Plus the team was sold and left well over a decade ago.

I saw that view firsthand from my hotel room at the Swisshotel a few months ago. It’s quite a breathtaking scene, and seeing this picture brings back some great memories. Thank you!

For clarification, The Hanshin Tigers built a new stadium.
