There are many unique and attractive buildings on the Nakanoshima, the symbol of Mizuto Osaka, and its opposite shore. From the Nakanoshima Library and Central Osaka City Central Public Hall, which are important cultural properties that symbolize modern architecture in the Osaka era, modern architecture from Showa to Heisei, and Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka under construction for opening in early spring 2022, you can learn about architecture that represents each era. By looking at such a group of architectures from the river and talking with experts, you will discover new possibilities for the cityscape of Nakanoshima.
