🐮 Ushitaki Onsen Shiki Matsuri 📍 Kishiwada, Osaka (40 minutes by bus from Kishiwada Station) This time, we stayed at the Water Glamping BBQ Standard Plan (from 20,350 yen for 4 people per room) 📝 There are 4 dome tents at the water glamping. You need a special key to enter the glamping zone, so security is also assured. Equipped with a private restroom and washroom. Each tent also has a barbecue space and a swing 💕 ✔︎︎︎︎ Dome Tent The dome tent built on the water is quite fantastic at night ✨️ The tent has 2 single beds and 1 bunk bed. Up to 4 people can stay. There is also a swing, so Guukayu spent most of his time relaxing on this swing ☺️ You can watch Netflix and YouTube on the large TV! Fridge with freezer, coffee machine, microwave, etc. are also available. The amenities are quite plentiful, so you don't need to bring anything with you 🙆♀️ The futon was also fluffy 💗 ✔︎︎︎︎ Dinner BBQ You can come to the BBQ empty-handed! The ingredients are already prepared in a large refrigerator ✨️ The BBQ space is clean and has all the cooking utensils and tableware prepared (this is important to me!) The dinner menu includes domestic beef belly, beef skirt steak, beef tongue, pork belly, chicken thighs (50g each), scallops with shells, shrimp with heads, various vegetables, yakisoba, seafood ajillo, etc. A very substantial selection 🙆♀️ There was so much that I couldn't eat it all! It's also nice that you can BBQ at any time you like 💗 We enjoyed the BBQ for about 2 and a half hours ✨️ ✔︎︎︎︎ Hot Spring It's about a 5-minute walk from the glamping facility to the main building. There is a hot spring that glamping users can use as many times as they like. I was able to take a leisurely bath at night and in the morning ♨️ There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and the open-air bath has a thick water that makes your skin smooth 🙆♀️ There was also a foot bath at the entrance of the facility. ✔︎︎︎︎Breakfast BBQ After taking a bath in the hot spring in the morning, we had a morning BBQ. For breakfast, we had hamburger steak, bacon, sausages, several types of bread, and soup. Drinks included milk and orange juice. Cooking was easy, just heat it up on the BBQ grill! It was fun to have a leisurely BBQ in the morning 💕 . . . . This time, I actually did glamping alone. I was worried about whether I would be able to enjoy it alone, but I was able to spend it slowly and leisurely ☺️ I had my own time to have a BBQ, go to the hot springs at my own time, and take a walk. Glamping alone is surprisingly possible 🙆♀️ Of course, it is definitely recommended to go with a large group ✨️ In addition to water glamping, there are various rooms in the main building, such as sauna glamping and trailer houses where you can stay with your dog. It was a recommended facility for the coming season☺️ ✍️If you make a reservation in advance, you can use the shuttle bus to Kishiwada Station or Kumeda Station for free. . . . . 📌1156 Osawa-cho, Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture 📱072-479-2641 ⏱IN 15:00 OUT 15:00 🚗Parking available . . . . #Four Seasons Festival#Ushitaki Onsen#Kishiwada#Kansai Glamping#Osaka Glamping#Girls Trip#Glamping#Barbecue#Hot Springs#Osaka Gourmet#Osaka Barbecue#Osaka Outing#Osaka Sightseeing#Osaka Trip#Me and Travel#I've Started Moments

#cherryblossom2024 This is a gorgeous gardens of the historical Kishiwada structure which is an absolute must-see place.

Later on, in 1950, it was rechristened Gofuso, "Home of Five Winds". This property includes the gorgeous main residence, three tea houses and a Japanese kaiyu-shiki (Promenade - style ) garden. It is a nice place to have a stroll especially in autumn. The location is 596-0073 18-1 Kishikicho, Kishiwada-shi, Osaka.

In Kishiwada, south of Osaka, the most important festival every year is the float festival, which is also known as the Danjiri Festival. During the festival, the whole city is mobilized, bringing together local families, and it has become a festival for young people in the village to inherit the culture of the older generation. The history dates back to the middle of the Edo period. It was originally just an autumn festival to pray for a good harvest. Later, each village began to drag carefully carved floats around Kishiwada Castle, and slowly became a thrilling cornering and tail-swinging activity. Each four-ton float is prepared for a year, and historical figures, animals and patterns are carefully engraved on it. Watching the static float is worth a trip. During the float festival, 500 pullers will pull the float, and the big worker standing on the top of the float will pat the float with a fan to indicate the direction of the turn. Because the speed is extremely high, the rapid cornering through the alleys is a thrilling attraction. Because it is impossible to upload videos and photos at the same time, I captured some wonderful moments to share. During the festival, starting from Kishiwada Station, the one-kilometer-long festival stalls sell fried noodles, barbecue and other festival foods. The most not to be missed is the shaved ice with pigment syrup. In the autumn when the autumn heat is strong, it is definitely the coolest choice to visit the float festival. This year's Danjiri Festival will be held on September 13-14; in October, it will be held on October 11 and 12. If you are in Osaka at this time, don't miss the most passionate festival in Osaka with more than 500,000 people participating every year. 🚗Take the Nankai tram to Kishiwada Station, and you will reach the vendor area as soon as you exit the station. It is recommended to walk to the Danjiri Hall, where 34 floats will show their skills. #5月好去处2025

#aprilblooms Located about 50 minutes by bus from the centre of Kishiwada, Mt. Ushitaki remains rich in nature. Daiitoku-ji Temple, located in the mountains, which is also famous for its autumn leaves, is a mountain temple that is said to have been opened by the founder of Shugendo. It is known as one of the sacred sites of "Katsuragi Shugen", which practises around sacred places such as sutra mounds (mounds with scriptures), waterfalls, and boulders scattered in the Katsuragi mountain range, which runs from Tomogashima in Wakayama Prefecture to Oji-cho, Nara Prefecture, with a total length of 112 km, and it is said that he once practised in Kukai.

Kishiwada City, located in the southern part of Osaka, is gaining attention as a tourist destination. Its iconic landmark, Kishiwada Castle, is a must-see for history enthusiasts and photography lovers alike. The stunning contrast of white walls and black tiles, along with the reflection of the castle tower in the moat, creates a picturesque scene reminiscent of a painting. It's the perfect spot for travelers seeking a quiet place to immerse themselves in history, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The origins of Kishiwada Castle date back to the Nanboku-cho period, and during the Edo period, it served as the administrative center for the Kishiwada Domain. While the current castle tower was reconstructed during the Showa era, it faithfully replicates the atmosphere of its original form. Inside the castle, visitors can enjoy exhibits about Kishiwada's history and its lords. There's even a corner where you can dress up in samurai armor for a memorable photo, making it a great spot to create lasting travel memories! Surrounding the castle is the beautiful "Hachijin Garden," which offers seasonal landscapes throughout the year. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, and in autumn, the garden is adorned with vibrant fall foliage. A leisurely stroll through the garden is sure to soothe your soul. With convenient access—just about 30 minutes by train from central Osaka—Kishiwada Castle is an ideal destination for a day trip. While Osaka boasts many famous tourist attractions, taking a short detour to Kishiwada Castle offers a unique opportunity to enjoy both history and nature in one visit. Why not add a "mini castle tour" to your Osaka travel itinerary?
