    We take you to Shitenno-ji, or the Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings, is some of the oldest Buddhist sites in Japan. The vast, spacious compound includes some neat and photogenic buildings as well as colorful decorations. While the crowd in main Osaka can be unbearable, this is the perfect place for urban escape. The oldest temple in Japan, built over 1,400 years ago, this temple is famous for its symmetrical design and even has an architectural arrangement named after it,”Shitenno-ji-style temple layout.” We'll take pictures there too.

    Welcome to Hozenji Yokocho — a peaceful alleyway tucked away in the heart of Osaka. In the early morning, before the city wakes up, this narrow stone-paved street feels like a hidden time capsule. At the center stands Hozenji Temple, quietly watching over the neighborhood for centuries. Locals often stop by to splash water on the moss-covered statue of Fudo Myo-o, a ritual said to bring good fortune. Surrounded by traditional restaurants and bars, this area transforms at night, but in the morning, you can truly feel its history and stillness. It’s a rare moment of calm in the middle of a busy city — a glimpse into old Osaka.

    20 minutes Admission ticket included
