Universal Studios Japan installed another 25th-anniversary manhole design in central Osaka. The newest covers are located around Yodoyabashi, Honmachi, Nakanoshima, and Kitahama.

The design combines Osaka City Central Public Hall and the Nakanoshima rose garden with Woody Woodpecker, Jaws, and the Osaka NO LIMIT mark.

USJ's anniversary project includes five designs across 25 Osaka locations. The first five went in on March 31, followed by a Dotonbori-themed group in July.

The designs are also becoming souvenirs. Manhole key chains and magnets go on sale July 24 at the park's Studio Style store.
