[2011] Osaka Tour

Walking around Osaka (on a rainy day), mainly the Umeda area, the Fukushima/Nakanoshima, and the Tenpozan area. Visited the new OSAKA STATION building, the OSAKA FUKOKA SEIMEI building by Dominique Perrault and Shimizu Corp., the ASAHI BROADCASTING HALL by Kuma Kengo, and finally the SUNTORY MUSEUM by Ando Tadao. To my surprise, the latter has been completely closed since December 2010. I wonder, whether Suntory moved the museum completely to Tokyo (to the SUNTORY MUSEUM by Kuma Kengo at Tokyo Midtown), and what the company will do with the remaining building.
