JR Osaka eki

In early May Japan Rail(JR) Osaka eki(station) was opened,after being renovated over 7years or so.
The renovations,while in progress were covered so we couldn't see anything for a long time and I can't remember what it used to look like.

After being unveiled and opened to the public,they has been great excitement.Everything is new and beautiful there are fashion shopping malls,movie theater,shop for everything including cosmetics,flowers,books and accessories.

There is a huge department store and of course lots of restaurants and food shops.I love eating out and trying new bakeries but it's a little bit difficult at the moment.Every restaurant has long queues, especially at lunch time,so I have to wait at least 1hour.No way!!!

Probably the most remarkable addition to the new station surroundings is the amazing water clock.
It's difficult to explain how it works but it's beautiful to see the water flowing over the screen,creating images of flowers,fireworks etc along with words and the time.

It's always surrounded by people everyone trying to take pictures and it's also becoming a popular meeting place.
The design has included some stone seats to cater for senior citizens,who are now able to sit and enjoy this fabulous new spectacle.
