Canals and bridges snake through the city, creating a distinctive landscape unlike other big Japanese cities – swipe to see a bird’s eye view 🏞 The mouth of one of the main rivers, Ajigawa, has recently been dredged, producing enough sand to build a small mountain in Osaka bay (image one). Now called Tenpō-zan, it’s a popular destination for leisurely outings, especially when the cherry trees are in bloom, making spring the most beautiful time to visit 🌸 Join curator Akiko Yano to sample the best sushi in town, experience the wonders of Kabuki theatre and explore the city’s bustling markets – link in bio. 🔎 Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), Settsu Ajigawa-guchi Tenpozan (Mt.
