I took a stroll around Hirakata, a suburb of Osaka. My destination was YORKIE COFFEE. It's a popular cafe located about a 5-minute walk from Hirakatashi Station. It's a branch of MEKEARISA, a very popular basket bag shop at Hirakatakoen Station, so the shop is colorfully displayed and sold with cute basket bags😍 It's also recommended for those who couldn't buy a bag because the bag shop was full! The original block-printed handkerchiefs are so cute that you'll want to have several of them. The coffee is also very delicious, making it perfect for a break. This is a place to enjoy while walking around Hirakata, which is also known as a historical road with places like Hirakata-juku on the Tokaido Road☕🐶 📍YOKIE COFFEE 10-1 Okamoto-cho, Hirakata-shi, Osaka 11:00-16:00 (until 17:00 on Saturdays) *From Google Map #Osakacafe #Osakagourmet #Hirakata #Hirakatacafe #0yentrip

#seoulattractions There are a lot of rides which small kids can enjoy. It a traditional park in Hirakata, besides being well-located with good parking facilities, is also easily accessible by train, which helps attract visitors from various areas, including many foreigners. Despite being one of the oldest amusement parks in the region. The carousel, in particular, stands out for its somewhat “macabre” appearance, at least from an adult’s perspective, yet it still manages to captivate children who bring joy and energy to the place. Tickets and free ride pass are not too expensive. There are not long queue even in weekend.

#summervacay Here's a hidden gem only Osaka locals usually know about – a fantastic way to "薅羊毛" (snag a great deal)! It's called the "Hirapa Go! Go! Ticket" (ひらパーGo!Go！チケット).

When we go to Japan, in addition to visiting some famous scenic spots, we often like to choose some more special places. For example, the Kitano Ijinkan introduced last time is full of artistic atmosphere, with many distinctive buildings and check-in spots. This time we went to the Hirakata check-in bookstore that I had always wanted to visit. If you are a bookworm like me, you must come to this bookstore. Because Tsutaya Bookstore in Hirakata City, Osaka is known as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. Hirakata T-SITE is integrated with Tsutaya Books and is the third T-SITE after Daikanyama and Kamakura. It is also a modern combination of supermarket, restaurant, cafe, books and life. The spectacular book wall on the 4th floor is definitely a check-in hotspot that cannot be missed. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and looking up, the bookcase filled with books is quite spectacular, and the wooden steps and translucent glass are really beautiful when reflecting the sunlight. If you think that just visiting this bookstore is not enough, you can go to the park in the morning and then visit the bookstore in the evening. Come to Tsutaya Bookstore to check in. There are also many recreational facilities suitable for children in the park. My younger brother and I visited this place a few years ago. If the weather is good, we can spend most of the day there.
