KITAHAMA
In this business district, there remain a lot of old buildings of the prewar period, in which nice shops, galleries and restaurants tenanted. A river runs north-side of this area and there is an island called Nakanoshima after crossing the characteristic bridge. Nakanoshima park is always beautiful inbetween two rivers, the rose garden especially in season.
北浜のビジネス街には、戦前に建てられたビルが多く残っており、ビルの各部屋がお店やギャラリー、レストランとして今でも使われています。このエリアの北側には川が流れ、それに架かる橋を渡れば中之島です。中之島の南北を流れる二つの川が交わる東端に位置する中之島公園は、とても美しく、バラ園の最盛期には多くの人が訪れます。
