Gazing up at the Awaza JCT, it’s hard not to feel a sense of awe. This isn’t just a motorway junction. It’s a concrete tapestry woven into the Osaka skyline. Awaza JCT is more than just a point where roads intersect. It’s a symbol of Osaka’s dynamism, a testament to its growth and interconnectedness. Photographer Yoshihiko Wada featured the Awaza Junction in his series “The City of Juncture”.

Wada was particularly drawn to the way the highways intertwined, evoking images of Medusa from Greek mythology. He recommends visiting the Awaza JCT to anyone touring Osaka. He notes its convenient location near the Awaza subway station, making it an easy addition to any itinerary.
