[Osaka] Of course it can't fly, of course it can!

Osaka International Airport (Itami Airport) has a spacious observation deck that is 400 meters long and 7,700 square meters in total area. The view of planes taking off and landing from there is truly impressive! Once you see it, you will lose track of time and be fascinated. And in one part of the observation deck is "Sora-yan's Garden." Sorayan, the official mascot of three airports in Kansai (Kansai International Airport, Osaka International Airport, Kobe Airport), is guarding the garden. Sorayan wears a flight hat and a cute scarf, and his form is based on the motif of a pilot, a flight attendant, and an aircraft. He looks like someone who flies around in the sky, but in fact, in his official profile he says, "I want to fly in the sky one day." "What's wrong, Sorayan? He can't fly." As expected of a Kansai mascot, he never forgets to make self-deprecating jokes. The garden where you can meet the adorable Sorayan, "Sora-yan's Garden," is full of cute flowers that have been carefully tended. It's definitely a photogenic spot. The sight of the flowers blooming in abundance brings healing and a smile to those who see it. After the excitement of the observation deck, take a break at Sorayan's Garden. ＜Location＞ 4th floor of Osaka International Airport (Hotaruike Nishimachi, Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture) ＜Fee＞ Free ＜Opening hours＞ 6:00-21:30 (last entry 21:00) (As of May 2023) #Domestic travel #Osaka sightseeing #Osaka trip #Osaka International Airport #Itami Airport #Airplane #Sora-yan #Mascot #Observation deck #Photogenic spot #Outing #Family outing #Water play
