This morning we headed to Hoshida, a suburb of Osaka, to check out a planned housing community. It was definitely a contrast to what we've seen here in Kyoto and to what we saw yesterday because the complex was completed in 1992 (with an additional complex done later).
We finished up there around lunch and decided to go into Osaka, Japan's second largest city. The motivation was to see the Hanshin Tigers play a game at their stadium. Here's where my details get fuzzy, but my understanding is that the Osaka Stadium is the best place to see baseball in Japan and is akin to Fenway. The Tigers aren't a great team, but their fans are totally crazy. So, seeing their games at home is supposed to be awesome. Sadly, the game was sold out when we went to buy tickets, so we hung out around, bought some Tigers paraphernalia, and then headed home to Kyoto on the bullet train.
The bullet train
A dog stoner band? A dog jelly? A dog traffic tangle? I guess we'll never know...
