📍 Expo Commemorative Park / Osaka I haven't been out much lately, but I finally got some autumn-like photos! While many tourists were visiting even though it was daytime on a weekday, I was able to take a picture of this maple tree with no one! As of 10/19, the maple trees had not yet turned red, so I think that the camellia will decorate this street more and more in the future! Why don't you visit us?
