New this week

Day Trips reached Takarazuka, home to the all-female Takarazuka Revue and the Tezuka Osamu Manga Museum. Districts added Abeno, home to Abeno Harukas and one of Osaka's last old-style tram lines. Food covered fugu, and Stay added a guide to booking timing around Osaka's peak travel seasons.

A technical fix, not a new page

The site's sitemap.xml previously listed the same 'last modified' date for every single page on every build, which understates how the site actually works — most pages don't change between updates. It now reports each article's real last-updated date instead, which is a more accurate, more useful signal for search engines and doesn't require anything from a reader to notice or benefit from.
