萩ノ茶屋駅

Plans always change for me. After the first week in Seoul I decided to fly back to Japan to see some things I missed last time.

On the flight I met Hiroshi and Nagisa couple! Learning that I enjoy frequenting old places and things they pointed me towards Nishi-ward, which is the slum of Osaka. Almost like it stopped moving forward in time!

If you too like to take a look at a less modern Japan you can visit the graffiti covered Nishi area. To get here, hop on the Midosuji Line from Yodoyabashi to Shinsaibashi Station and switch trains to Nagahoritsurumiryokuchi Line to Nishi-Nagahori Station. Wander the streets and have fun!

*You may be told it is a dangerous area, but I can tell you that it is far safer than New York.
