"Strange—why did I say "again"?"

I hadn’t expected the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters to be right across from the castle tower. I found myself imagining Heiji Hattori heading up to it.

The castle tower is all show on the outside; inside, everything is newly rebuilt.

Next to it is the Osaka Museum of History, spanning from the Naniwa-kyō period through the Heian and Edo eras, and finally the Meiji-Taishō-Showa era. You can tell the exhibition still uses evasive, euphemistic language when it comes to the invasion of China.

I lost my wallet on the way to Kansai International Airport. Inside was a full 20,000 yen! Tragic, really.
