Bentencho is located in the bay area of Osaka and is said to be an comfortable town to live in with many convenient facilities. In recent years, onsen hot spring theme park has been built and the area is becoming more and more beautiful and entertaining. The location of Bentencho also offers easy access to USJ and Kyocera Dome Osaka, and since the Konjaku-So Bentencho offers entire building available for stay, it is popular with large groups of guests.
This time, I took a walk around the Bentencho area and would like to introduce the course of the walk. Please take this article in your hand and let's embark on a little journey with me 😛
To TUGBOAT, a place for unique and variety food
I would like to go in the direction of Taisho, along the river, which is the opposite side of the Bay Area.

Keep walking straight.
As you can see in the photo, it was after the rain that day. I don't really like the smell that comes up from the asphalt road when it starts to rain, but I like the fresh, clean air after it stops raining 🙂

Going up the stairs reminds me of the concert that I went when I was in high school. 🥺
I hope you all will have a good memory there, too!
Bentencho is famous for its location in a bay area, so of course a walk toward Osaka Bay is great, but I could also enjoy walking toward the river. You can feel the quiet atmosphere of the town and the liveliness of the riverfront at the end of the course... 😌
