Lesson 25: Osaka Castle Theme Park / VIDEO Script

Chiharu:
Al, what do you think about the article on the Asahi Shimbun site about the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry floating a plan to transform the Osaka Castle into a theme park?

Al:
What’s that? A theme park? Now there’s a fun idea!

Chiharu:
Yeah, they want to recreate a historic cityscape around the castle to give visitors a chance to experience what it was like to live in Osaka in the 16th century.

Al:
I really like the idea. It could help Osaka to draw a lot of tourists and maybe even some from overseas. Together with USJ, Osaka could become an interesting tourist spot for foreign tourists. Can you think of some ways to create a cool ambience in the park and really make it into a tourism magnet?

Chiharu:
Well they must have some actors in traditional garb to recreate the townsfolk and the ruler Hideyoshi Toyotomi. And it must have a few thrill rides perhaps or some Rakugo in English.

Al:
Absolutely! Maybe the DOTOMBORI splash ride or the Osaka Jo free-fall ride. When the planes to Itami airport pass over, it will present a spectacular view!

Chiharu:
Yes, I can’t wait!
