When you visit the Hiraoka Shrine in Osaka, the first thing you'll notice is the calming atmosphere that puts your mind at ease. The shrine is surrounded by nature, with its vast grounds filled with ancient trees and lush greenery, providing a sense of tranquility to all who visit.

When it comes to delicious sushi in Umeda, it's Kamesushi Main Branch! It's so famous that many people probably know it. There's also a fake shop right next door, so make sure to find the real one..! The interior is narrow and old, but it's not fishy or smelly and it's really delicious. Even my picky parents were satisfied with this restaurant! Highly recommended! #August Travel Support Grant Event

#JuneTravelSupportEvent There are quite a few Korean books on one side of the first floor. The proportion of books that are slightly older than new ones, and frankly, seem to just take up space, is high. There are also cute novels...ㅎㅎ Still, there are some books that are worth reading, so I use them often.

This book cafe is attached to the Higashiosaka Cultural Creation Center. There are books and manga inside the store that you can read for free. The menu mainly consists of pizza, but the portions are small and easy to eat and delicious! This is a recommended cafe to visit before or after seeing a play at the Cultural Creation Center! ୨୧..∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵..୨୧ Store: Machi Library Cafe Address: 1F Higashiosaka City Cultural Creation Center, 2-3-4 Mikuriya Minami, Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture Access: 5 minutes walk from Hachinosato Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line Opening hours: 9:00-22:00 Parking: Available ୨୧..∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵....∵..୨୧ #Kinki Tourism #Osaka #Higashiosaka #Pizza #Cafe

#Osaka I was reading reviews prior to booking and they all said “small” but the room is like perfectly fine especially for Japan. The staff was friendly and welcoming ready to help with all questions. On the second floor is vending machines that sell cool drink and alcohol and there are washing machines onsite with a microwave in the same room. They change the towels everyday and make the bed etc but deep clean every 3 days for longer staying guests. The subway is called NAGATA you exit through exit 1 it’s literally 100 ft away you can see it as you exit. So convenient. There is also a car park on site . Will Definitely return. Thanks so much Richmond!

Hiraoka Plum Grove is located in part of Hiraoka Park. It has been selected as one of the Ministry of the Environment's "Top 100 Fragrant Landscapes." Unfortunately, when we visited, the plum blossoms were not in bloom! The trees were cut down due to the effects of the virus, and 200 plum trees were planted in March 2021. In addition, Empress Teimei, the mother of Emperor Showa and empress of Emperor Taisho, is said to have visited this plum grove while worshiping at Hiraoka Shrine, which has been in operation for 2,600 years. There is a monument to her. The Kawachi Plain spreads out before us. I was moved by the vast scenery looking down below. It was a wonderful place! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Hiraoka Plum Grove ꕥAddress: 7-16 Izumoi-cho, Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture, 579-8033 ꕥAccess 🚉 Hiraoka Station → 5 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Osaka sightseeing #Osaka trip #Park #Plum grove #Scenery

Hiraoka Shrine is the Ichinomiya of Kawachi Province. One of its sub-shrines is Hitokotonushi Shrine. The enshrined deity is Hitokotonushi no Kami. He is the god of words, and it is said that if you make a single wish, he will grant your wish. "One-line wish slips" are available, you write your wish on the slip, carve out the magatama underneath, and hang it at the shrine. You keep the magatama until your wish is granted, and when it is, you donate it to the "Water Mirror of Gratitude." Now that I've actually made a single wish, I'll carry the magatama around with me, and believe that my wish will come true! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Hiraoka Shrine ꕥAddress: 7-16 Izumoi-cho, Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture, 579-8033 ꕥAccess 🚉Hiraoka Station → 2 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Osaka sightseeing #Osaka trip #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Solo trip

The annual cherry blossom season is finally coming again! The second year of moving to Ishikiri in East Osaka. Thought it would be inconvenient to see cherry blossoms after leaving the city, But unexpectedly gained even more beautiful scenery. The cherry blossoms in front of the tunnel at the doorstep are super beautiful! The cherry blossoms on the slope on the other side of the station are also super beautiful! The cherry blossoms at the Shikke Shrine, which can be reached by a 7-minute walk, are also beautiful! The key point is! There are fewer people here!

Higashiosaka City (Japanese: 東大坂市／ひがしおおさかし Higashiōsaka shi */?) is a city located in the eastern part of Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Its population size ranks third in Osaka Prefecture, second only to the two designated cities of Osaka City and Sakai City in the prefecture, and is currently a core city. There is a proposal to merge the city with the surrounding Yao City and Kashiwara City and upgrade it to the third designated city in Osaka Prefecture, but this proposal has not made any progress so far. #SakuraFrontline
