getting there is easiest from 新今宮 station, maybe 10 min walk west. i wouldnt bother with a bus, the streets around there are confusing. do it on a weekday, weekends get crowded with photographers

arrow_drop_up 20 arrow_drop_down

weekday tip is solid, weekends are a zoo there. honestly I'd just walk from 新今宮, the bus drops u in a weird spot.

Shin-Imamiya east exit, not west.

Ten minutes feels optimistic if you're hauling luggage. Which exit do you mean exactly, the one near the loop line?

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

night, the bridge lamps wash out sunset colors

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

yeah the lamps really kill the sunset tones there, but i'd still go just before dusk to catch the skyline before they kick on.

good call, 5:45ish in winter is about right

arrow_drop_up 24 arrow_drop_down

Honestly the west side walkway faces the towers better, so aim there once the sky starts turning.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

the lamps flip on around 6:30 in winter so aim for 5:45 if u want the sky before they wash it out

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

Fair point, though the lamps only cover part of the span, so walk toward the east end if u want the sky tones

Shimada iseki ruins visit in Osaka 2026?

fmd_good島田遺跡 · #ruins #excavation #osaka
coming to Osaka in 2026 and saw shimada iseki (島田遺跡) listed, is it actually open to the public or just an excavation site? trying to figure out if it's worth the trip out of the city center coming to Osaka in 2026 and saw shimada iseki (島田遺跡) listed, is it actually open to the public or just an excavation site? trying to figure out if it's worth the trip out of the city center

Pretty sure that's just an excavation site, not open to visitors.

arrow_drop_up 4 arrow_drop_down

Mostly correct, but check with the Osaka bunkazai center first.

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

true, tho note the bunkazai center only answers weekday mornings, so plan the call before u book any trains out there

Or just email them, they reply faster.

arrow_drop_up -2 arrow_drop_down

yeah and even the signboard is gone half the time, so call the bunkazai center before u trek out there

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Agree, though the Shitennoji annex has a small display.

arrow_drop_up 5 arrow_drop_down

Shitennoji annex, closed Mondays.

Fenced off since 2023, kuyakusho maps still show it though

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

Correct, though the Sakai city kōkogaku center holds the finds.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

walk the perimeter path instead, info boards along it
