This area's photography is best at night with a tripod...after our trip to the waterfalls that wasn't happening.  We clocked 7.5 miles that day..

After arriving Tim found a Mameshiba cafe... he is angling for me to get a Shiba Inu dog as I fell in love with one in Kyoto in 2016.  These dogs are a miniature of the ones I like.  The dogs felt overstimulated so they were not anxious to be petted and played with.

Photos of the canal...etc.  Our guide said that Osaka used to have many canals, like Venice but most have been covered over. 

This is one remaining in the Dotomburi area.
