This exhibition was held at Osaka-dome (baseball stadium) skyhall 9th floor and this day, idle event was held at same time, so many young women was gathered and very crowded around this stadium. This dinosaur's event was not so crowded but many families had came. After that, there were another moving dinosaur (t-rex) and my son was crying ... After enjoying this event, we drop to the shopping center next to this stadium and afterthat, we walked around taisho-station (osaka dome is located near taisho ward). This area is famous for okinawa shops and it is about 10 year interval before we visited this town . I like this town's atmosphere and it is next to the sea so there are ferryboat for commuting.
