Osaka hobby shops 6 street crossing

Osaka train shop crawl part 6. On the walk from Osaka Station to my 3rd model train store today.
Yes, three model train stores within fairly easy walking distance from my hotel.
I post this because of the different approach the Japanese have to larger intersections and pedestrian use of them. Unlike the practice in the USA for pedestrians to walk with the flow of vehicles, in this intersection at least there are a few stages of vehicle management, and then the entire square is shut down to vehicles and open for walkers.
