The Aizen Matsuri is one of Osaka's three major summer festivals, dedicated to the gods of love and charm. Carefully selected young women from a community known as "Aizen Shoujo" will ride on beautifully decorated floats during the parade. Every year, about 300 to 400 women apply to become Aizen Shoujo, but only eight finalists are selected based on their charm, energy, love of traditional festivals, and ability to participate in all activities. Applicants must be between 18 and 35 years old and be able to wear a yukata independently, reflecting their deep roots in Japanese culture. In addition to the parade, there are festival food stalls, traditional Japanese performances, and sparrow dances. This event marks the true beginning of summer and provides an unforgettable experience for locals and tourists alike.

Good points

- It was fun because Pokemon appeared all over the town. I wanted to see all the panels, so I walked quite a distance for the first time in a while.

- The prize at the end was good. The acrylic charms were especially big and cool. If your favorite Pokemon is among the prizes, you should participate.

- Bad points

- The map is hard to see. I didn&#39;t understand the meaning of the dummy panels at first. I thought that many of the panels were in tricky locations for an event mainly aimed at children.

- It&#39;s difficult to go around without taking a break. It says 1-2 hours, but it&#39;s better to look around for more than 3 hours. (Especially if you go to points that are not related to the rally points) It&#39;s Umeda, so if you miss the timing, it&#39;s hard to find a place to rest, especially on holidays.

Every city in Japan seems to have a castle or a tower, which is restored to its original state to showcase its cultural features. The same imagery also appears in many Japanese games. Before going to Osaka Castle, you can also visit the Osaka Museum of History, where you can look down at Osaka Castle from a high vantage point.
