Originally called Ogimachi Kids Park, this modern building adjacent to Ogimachi Park in Kita Ward, Osaka, is quite distinctive.
Kantele is the nickname of Kansai Telecasting, a local TV station and broadcaster with sudios and offices in the building.
It is also called Kids Plaza after a large childrens science museum inside.
It opened in 1997 and was designed by Yasui Architects & Engineers Inc, not a household name, but designers of hundreds of major buildings in Japan and elsewhere.
