Beer garden

This beer garden will be open earlier than the others this year. It's New Hankyu building! It's all you can drink for two hours at its roof top. Though it costs 3300yen, the its view and atmosphere is pretty good, so I'm sure it's worth going to drink there instead of drinking at a bar for a change. It opens on May 8th until September 18th. It's only 1 stop from us, and it's at Umeda station. Time: 5:00-9:00 on weekdays 5:00-8:30 on weekends You can see so many businessmen there for sure. Well, it can be good or bad, because when they are drunk, they become hilarious. Hope you can talk to them and have a fun time there with random Japanese.
