Welcome to my website "Tsoo-Rock". "Tsoo-Rock" is the abreviation for "The Tsutenkaku and The Rokko-oroshi", according to the habit of Osaka natives to abreviate everything. Tsutenkaku is the name of a tower which is the classical sybol of Osaka, the second largest city in Japan. Rokko-oroshi is the name of the downhill breeze from Mount Rokko behind Kobe. Now I am working close to Tsutenkaku and living on the hillside of Mount Rokko. I was born in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, and even for me the Kansai region (Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe) is quite attractive and exhotic. At this website, I would like to show you an hidden, but nice aspect of Japan.
