Namba Hips to Namba Parks

 

Continuing with my architectural tour of the Namba district of Osaka, I headed from Namba Hips towards Namba Parks.

Above is the Osaka Shinkabukiza Theatre. It moved in 2010, several years after this photo, to a new location and building, but this, now almost 70 year old building has been preserved as a facade on a new high-rise, steel and glass hotel.

As for the other buildings featured in this post, I don't know what they are....

I have lived in cities, but not for a long time, and so they seem to be exotic places filled with marvellous sights and strange people....

The previous post in this series was on the unusual Namba Hips by Shin Takamatsu.
