Packed

Here is another view from Yuko's parent's place. The cities of Osaka and Japan in general, are really crowded. Japan is about the size of California with about 2/3s of the total area livable and about 180 million people. A place to park is golden.... The only time I haven't seen anyone out and about have been really early in the morning and when I went sight seeing in Nara and walked deep into Nara park on a week day.

You really have to be careful about exploring as it is easy to get lost in the tiny crowed blocks.
