Osaka Castle Park is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Osaka and a symbol of Japan's Sengoku period culture. The park is beautiful year-round—cherry blossoms bloom in spring, painting the landscape pink against the ancient castle; in autumn, the fiery red foliage creates a stunning contrast with the stone walls. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a nature lover, Osaka Castle Park will leave a lasting impression.
Tsutenkaku is the symbol of Osaka’s retro Shinsekai district. Standing 103 meters tall, the tower represents the city’s postwar growth and vitality. From the observation deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of Shinsekai and soak up the unique, nostalgic atmosphere of Osaka’s old town.
Kinkakuji Temple, a three-storey pavilion covered in gold leaf that is one of the most famous and recognizable of all the historic buildings in Kyoto. It has been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will see the golden reflection of the temple in the still mirror water surface. And try to pray in front of those statues for fortune and luck.
Fushimi Inari Shrine, where a long corridor of thousands of Torii Shrine gates, a bright red tunnel along the mountain path, is an amazing experience. You could walk through every gate, feel the ancient sense, and take photos. The Torii shrine gates form a maze, wish you can find your way out.
Sanjusangendo, a less tourist-hit treasure spot that is the longest wooden structure in Japan and houses a stunning collection of 1,001 golden Guanyin statues. You can pray in the temple, Guanyin is the wish god which always make people's wish come true. Also, you could just do the meditation in the temple to purify your soul.
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is a living tapestry of Kyoto's soul, where a walk amidst its emerald hues becomes a poem etched upon your heart. This serene sanctuary, with its swaying bamboo stalks that sing ancient Japanese ballads, is a testament to the enduring grace and tranquil beauty of traditional culture. Step into this green cathedral, and let the spirit of old Japan wash over you in a wave of timeless elegance.
The Togetsu Bridge, named for the phenomenon of the moon "crossing," is steeped in the lore of Emperor Kameyama from the Kamakura era. It was during a moonlit boat ride that the emperor was captivated by the sight of the moon seemingly bridging the gap over the water. The first incarnation of this bridge rose in 836, with the present structure taking its place in 1934. While it maintains the appearance of a traditional wooden bridge, a closer look reveals its sturdy frame of reinforced concrete, with only the guardrails hewn from the fragrant cypress wood. At the bridge's landing, a collection of quaint souvenir emporiums await. The constant to-and-fro of rickshaws adds to the ambiance, transporting visitors to a Japan of yesteryears, where the echoes of history and the charm of antiquity are ever-present. Enjoy the movie sense when you walk through the bridge, and feel the peaceful breeze from the river.
