I went to the dentist on my way home from work, and Dotonbori was full of people when I passed by!

I'm glad to see that the number of people wearing masks is gradually decreasing.

Customers from overseas have also returned! ️ There were long lines at the takoyaki shop and the shooting gallery. Osaka is fully revived! ️ The city of Minami is Osaka's biggest tourist resource. There's food, entertainment, amusement parks, everything. Do we really need an IR in Maishima?

I thought that a hotel like Marina Bay Sands in Singapore would be built, and many glittering casinos with roulette and baccarat like Las Vegas would be built, and super rich people would flock to Osaka, and that would revitalize it, but it seems that the reality is completely different.

It seems that the casino, which only has slot machines on a loose foundation, is run by a foreign-funded company that is not specialized in casinos. I previously decided on a budget and played the slot machines in Macau and Las Vegas, but there were no rich people there, including myself.

There are pachinko parlors in both Minami and Kita, so those who want to play will be able to get by. There are also betting booths in Namba and Dotonbori. The races finish before dusk, so if you make a profit, you can go drinking in Minami straight away! Restaurants attached to IRs are only going to be expensive anyway, right? In Minami, there are everything from cheap restaurants to high-end establishments, so you can choose what you want. I hope they will do more to help the local areas.

The more I write, the less I feel the need for IRs. In fact, isn't it worse to have them?
