A device called "water clock" which can inform "time" and time by waterdrops falling from the ceiling and display illustrationsOsaka Station CityIt is said that it is installed in the hotel, so we decided to go, so that we can look forward to a cool view and refresh.

Arrived on site.


You will enter the station from "Osaka Station Nakae Intersection North side".


If you do not know the way, it is easy to understand if you go to "Daimaru department store" or "JR's central south entrance".


If you can see the entrance of "SOUTH GATE BUILDEING" and "Daimaru", it is near Sugu.


Let's proceed along the aisle like this.


There is a silver plate written "Water Clock".


According to the explanatory version, "A large water watch in a picture frame is made up of countless water threads.The thread of water controlled one by one dynamically draws time, letters, various patterns Please enjoy "Symbolic monument of South Gate Square" which changes with season.


Watch that attracts the attention of passers-by.

You can draw pretty complicated patterns.


When you approach nearby, there is a power that makes sounds like "Zaz" and water come down.


Looking up, it looks like this.


Water that draws letters and patterns falls in this part.


Since the ball gravels are spread out, "Vacchabacha" and water will not come sweet.


"Do not enter Do not drink water" Note.


There is a light beside the falling mouth of water ... ....


The water droplets illuminated by light are sparkling and glittering.


Impression that it is "grain of light" rather than water.


Border part is made of metal with a simple design.


Looking at the continuous pictures of water drops coming down is as follows.

Nothing in space ......


"Wow" water droplets are fired.


As I come up to this area, I can understand that it is "9: 36".


I saw the whole.


Characters are displayed in the air.


The display collapses somewhat as it falls below.


The displayed time is in a moment, the water droplets will fall to sgo.
