Osaka after dark
My random, desktop image of the day is this one from the top of the Umeda Sky Building. This place offers night views for a fee, but you’ll be better off going up with a lover than a camera as most of the views are partially obscured by fencing (as you can see in the bottom of this photo if you look closely) or building parts.
Memorial Hall on Whitman College campus (Walla Walla, Washington)
We have spent much of our spring break in Washington and Idaho. On our way to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho we stopped at Whitman College in Walla Walla (for the first time) to check out the campus and city. Being spring break, there wasn’t much activity on campus so we did a quick tour on our own.
Over 100 years ago, President Teddy Roosevelt spoke from this location.
Grand Front Osaka (グランフロント大阪 – Panasonic Center) from Hotel Landmark Umeda room

I mentioned before how if you visit Koyasan, and you really should, that leaving most of your luggage at your hotel in Osaka is your best bet to maximizing your enjoyment to and from Koyasan. My wonderful, and inexpensive, hotel in Osaka was Hotel Landmark Umeda (ホテルランドマーク梅田). Close to Osaka Station and the nightlife of Umeda, this place will let you leave your luggage there if you are staying the night before and the night after your stay on Koyasan.
Yanaka (Tokyo, Japan) house
You won’t find many houses remaining like this in Tokyo, although similar dwellings aren’t out of the question in more rural parts of Japan. If you do find a place like this in Tokyo, you can be sure that you are walking the streets of Yanaka.
