Monday, April 4th: Kaiyukan

The "Ring of Fire Aquarium" (Kaiyukan) in Osaka is a very nice aquarium, and they have a big tank and an excellent Jellyfish display. Then we went to the Osaka City Museum of History for some excellent miniature models of medieval town scenes. Kani Doraku for dinner was excellent! Another shopping walk along arcades in Shinsaibashi and Namba revealed some love motels and red light districts, all very matter of fact and subdued.
