Waseda University Library

I spent many hours in this library a few years ago. It wasn’t until I found out, months after taking this photo, that the baseball field had been removed in the late 1980s to make room for it that I came to wish that the “new” Waseda University Library didn’t exist.

天王寺駅 tennoji station exit osaka

Exiting Tennoji Station (Osaka, Japan)

Today’s photo was the scene as I departed 天王寺駅 on the night before I was to fly to Korea last summer. I had an early morning flight so I figured Tennoji was a good place to stay in order to get to the Osaka Airport (KIX) quickly the next morning.

With so many choices of things to do (3-story 24/7 McDonald’s, pachinko, love hotels, and on and on) I opted for none of these. Instead I found a Yoshinoya and enjoyed a 280 yen bowl of gyudon.
