Minoh waterfall

I have been a few times around Osaka. But this is my first trip to Minoh. I am in the mood for a short hike in the mountains.

Tower of the Sun

I have been wanting to see the tower since the first time I read 20th Century Boys. The real statue surprises me by its size and uncanny appearance. It is possible to visit the inside, and I do. It is an interesting art/science exhibition. Pictures are forbidden unless a special transparent bag is rented to avoid phones falling into the void. The interior of the statue is empty and the central part is a sculpture that runs from the floor to the top. The visitors can go up using a spiral staircase.
