To work at the University as a part-time assistant, every Monday I have a road trip from Northern end to the Southern end in Osaka prefecture. Usually, I read, study, listen to music or even sleep in this one and a half hours of trip, but today I decided to take some snapshots on my way.
On the Southern end, some stations still maintain retro structures from 30-40 years ago.
In contrast, as the center of the prefecture, Osaka station was reconstructed with a new, massive architecture in 2011. I love the wide open structure of the building for some reason. You can see the skyscrapers in Kita-ku area from any point of the station.
