The symbol of the city of Osaka, Nakanoshima is a place where you can visit historical culture and famous architecture from the Middle Ages to the present day, parks and waterfronts where you can feel nature. The Special River Cruise, a popular DJ at FM COCOLO that is connected to Osaka, offers the charm of Nakanoshima from the waterside through episodes and music related to history, architecture and art, like a radio show. (Performance will be conducted in Japanese.)
