#Osaka Attractions In the morning, I drove to the Amanosan Kongoji Temple in Kawachinagano, Osaka. This ancient temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, and the early winter mist adds a touch of mystery to it. As you step into the temple, you are greeted by a tranquil scene, and the moss-covered stone steps seem to tell a thousand-year-old story. The architecture in the temple is simple and elegant, especially the national treasure-level Golden Hall, whose solemn charm is breathtaking. In the afternoon, I sat quietly in the courtyard, appreciating the simple beauty of the dry landscape garden and feeling the profound Zen. Time seems to have stopped here, with only the breeze blowing past your ears reminding you of the passage of time.

Kanshin-ji Temple is a hidden gem for cherry blossom viewing, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Located in Kawachinagano City, this ancient Buddhist temple dates back over 1,300 years and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and forests. During sakura season, the temple grounds are transformed into a stunning display of pink cherry blossoms, creating a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The contrast between the traditional wooden architecture, stone lanterns, and delicate sakura petals makes this a fantastic spot for photography. The temple is not as crowded as Osaka’s more famous cherry blossom sites, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the beauty of the season in a tranquil setting. In addition to cherry blossoms, Kanshin-ji Temple is known for its historic significance and traditional Japanese gardens. If you’re looking for a culturally rich and serene cherry blossom experience, this temple is a must-visit during spring.

#Osaka Attractions Akamine Camping Area is a beautiful and green natural camping destination with unique outdoor environment and facilities! As soon as you step into the camp, you will be greeted by a vast grassland view, and the lush green lawn seems to extend to the end of your vision. The camp is dotted with towering tropical trees, and with the sunshine and breeze at dawn, the entire camp creates a unique tropical rainforest-like atmosphere. The most attractive ones are the simple wooden tent areas arranged in the woods, which instantly give you the illusion of being in the wild and close to nature. When you come here, you must not miss a hiking trip around the entire camp. Walking along the forest trail, you can occasionally enjoy the sight of wild tropical birds flying through the treetops. As the walking route extends, you can even go deep into the primeval forest area deep in the camp to see the ancient trees and crisscrossing streams. There are also wild tropical fruit forests along the way, giving you the opportunity to taste the most primitive gift of nature.

The fluffy snow best describes the unique culture of Japan. The smoke of the onsen best explain the frozen weather. The black and white doesn't express the passion of friendly people in the small town

The Takeda Castle Trail in Taketa-cho, Hyogo Prefecture has the reputation of Sky City. If you are here to play, you can choose to stay in Taketa Castle City, Lower Town, HOTEL EN, just a few minutes walk from Takeda Station. It is very convenient to go to the sea in the morning. This was originally a winery with a history of more than 400 years. It has been transformed into a high-class hotel with only a dozen rooms, which is a very rare experience. Some of the rooms were originally Meiji period mansions, and the walls of the old buildings were preserved, adding modern equipment to make the living more comfortable. Some rooms have a view of Takeda Castle. Autumn and winter nights are relatively cold, the hotel also takes this into consideration, the quilt is very thick, and the bathroom is specially equipped with a small heater, which is more intimate~
