Peace Museum & Floating Roof Top

Today we visited the Peace Museum, near Osaka Castle, 3 exibit areas.
Exhibit A - Osaka's destruction by the US Airforce incendiary bombing raids, Exhibit B Japan's aggressor role and the attrocities it commited in the 15 year war, from Manchuria incident right through to the war in the pacific. Exhibit C is a collage of peace making moments in modern history, complete with doomdays clocks above each event e.g Cuban missile crisis, signing of end of war agreements etc.

Then we went off to Umeda to get a view from atop the floating rooftop viewing platform.
