This hidden gem, even hard to find on Google Maps, is actually a ninja training ground passed down from the Edo period! At the 'Hamono DOKORO' nestled in the townhouses district, we donned miniature ninja outfits and learned the 'Soy Sauce Barrel Stealth Technique' from the eighth-generation master. The giant wooden barrels in the brewing area serve as natural obstacle courses. The most thrilling part is the 'Shuriken Math Class,' where kids have to calculate wind angles to accurately hit the rice dumpling targets with throwing stars. Successful participants can exchange for hidden knife-shaped ice cream. At dusk, the entire street transforms into a light and shadow maze. Guided by the master's secret signals, participants search for glowing miso jars. The puzzle-solving champion who completes the mission gets to forge a mini knife keychain by hand!

1. It's very close to Sakai Station on the Nankai line in Osaka. It was easy enough to find even for people who are bad at remembering roads. 2. It's easy to get to anywhere in Osaka, including Osaka city, Kansai Airport, and Itami Airport, and the surrounding area is quiet. 3. The front desk was spacious. The customer service was average. 4. The guest room looked old just from the photos, but it was neat and well-made and quite spacious for one person. The view was great and there was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room, so it was great to drink coffee while looking at the beautiful view. #SakaiCity #HotelAgoraRegencySakai

Many people choose to visit parks with few people during the autumn foliage season, don't they? ? This time, I went to a park that is just a few minutes' drive from the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2019. 🚗💨 It was late November, so the foliage was magnificent, and if you go before the sun goes down, the sunset is also beautiful and mesmerizing. 🌿🍂🍁 I discovered a new spot for autumn foliage! There aren't that many people, so I want to go every year. This park is also famous for its irises, and I heard that many people come from far away to see them during the peak season. ⛲️ Best time to see irises: late May to early June (may change depending on the weather, etc.) From the official website of Shirasagi Park #Osaka sightseeing #Shirasagi #Park #Autumn leaves #Park with beautiful sunsets

I went to "Machi no Minato Maguro Park" in Sakai City, Osaka! This is a hands-on fish park that the whole family can enjoy, where tuna is the main attraction😊 In the spacious store, there are fresh fish delivered directly from the source, sushi, prepared foods, and a souvenir corner. They also have a tuna cutting show, which was very popular with children! (The tuna cutting show is irregular) The food court had a variety of menus, mainly tuna dishes. You can also eat the products you bought in the store at the food court✨ I recommend it because the bluefin tuna, fatty tuna, etc. are delicious and reasonably priced😊 If you like fish, please go.

#Japan Attractions Whenever the cherry blossom season comes, Japan will inevitably become the brightest star in the spotlight of global travelers. During the cherry blossom season every year, Japan welcomes cherry blossom-viewing tourists from all over the world to feel the breath of spring in Japan! When it comes to spring flower and cherry blossom viewing, Osaka Prefecture is definitely one of the most popular cities. A large number of tourists pour into Kansai International Airport and then rush to various famous towns, such as Kyoto, Arashiyama, Nara, etc.; if you want to avoid the crowds and feel the atmosphere of spring flowers in the metropolis and second-tier cities, Sakai City in the southern part of Osaka Prefecture is one of the best choices! Sakai City is divided into several small areas. If you want a more convenient area, you can consider Hounan Town. The living and tourism facilities near Fengnan Town are relatively simple for tourists who want to take a non-mainstream in-depth tour for the first time. This small town is about 25km away from the center of Osaka, and it only takes 40 minutes to get to the center of Osaka by subway. There are large shopping malls and cinemas in the town, as well as leisure and sports facilities such as golf courses. There are also some local specialty shops and small shrines that can add a touch of slow-paced pace to your busy thoughts and give your body, mind and soul a chance to breathe.

#Japan Attractions Daisen Park, the central park of Sakai City, is a recommended tourist spot. Generally speaking, when many people hear the word "park", they think of the stereotype of taking a walk and enjoying the scenery. Daxian Park is actually a comprehensive leisure park. In addition to the Japanese garden, the park also has a central library, museum, cafe, souvenir shop, mausoleum, etc. It is a park that you can spend a whole day in and still feel unsatisfied! As you enter the park, you'll see the towering Sakai Peace Tower. The tower gives you a feeling of standing firm and unwavering, which inspires awe. The spring cherry blossom buds are eagerly blooming one after another, and the whole park is filled with the breath of spring!

#Japan Attractions Sakai City is one of the major cities in southern Osaka and can be said to be a satellite city of Osaka Prefecture. Located near the glittering city of Osaka, Sakai is undoubtedly a low-key city. This city can also be considered an ancient town. The town is home to the world's largest mausoleum - the Emperor Nintoku's Mausoleum, which is one of the World Heritage Sites. In addition, don't miss Daisen Park next to the mausoleum. The Peace Pagoda, Sakai City Museum, Central Library, and Japanese Garden in Daisen Park are also must-see attractions when visiting Sakai City. It’s the end of March and the cherry blossom season is about to arrive. Daisen Park is full of cherry blossom trees. In the warm afternoon sunshine, find a fully blossomed cherry tree and take a rest, have a picnic, relax, or just daydream under the tree. It’s a good time!
