Imamiya Ebisu Shrine in Osaka
Known for Ebessan, the deity of business prosperity, the shrine is famous for attracting a large number of worshippers during the New Year's Toka Ebisu festival. I visited during the cherry blossom season, and although there were no flowers in the precincts, it was a refreshingly serene shrine. It was about a 15-minute walk from Tsutenkaku Tower. Highly recommended for sightseeing in Osaka.

If you want to eat a seafood bowl in Osaka, this is a good place.
It's a seafood bowl specialty store located inside the market and is open from 6 a.m. I ordered the 'Limited Quantity Tuna Scrap Bowl for 2,000 yen' because they are particular about fresh, real tuna. I waited for 2 hours, but it was a satisfyingly cheap and delicious tuna bowl.
