[2025 Sakai Attraction] Travel Guide for Sakai Plaza of Rikyu and Akiko (Updated Jul)

#Osaka Attractions Osaka city is already a bit aesthetically tired from walking, you can choose suburban attractions🎁 Sakai City is located on the south side of Osaka Prefecture. It is a small place with great culture🚘 It only takes half an hour to get there by MTR🫶 The most famous is a glass architectural attraction, Li Jing no Du If you buy an Osaka Amazing Pass, it's worth a visit🪄 A very characteristic museum where you can see the architectural style of the Edo period🏯 There are also modern animation art works, a great place to take pictures🎊 There are no very exciting large-scale performances, small museums, you can feel the cultural atmosphere of Japan👉💁

Sakai, a city just below Osaka! Sakai is a city that people who usually go to Osaka pass by on the subway. I had a day off before going on a hot spring trip in January, so I went there to have a quick trip. I had a delicious lunch at a natural health restaurant + cafe near Sakaihigashi Station, and visited Sakai Risho-no-Mori, a Sakai cultural experience center. Inside, there was a luxurious tea room where nobles and generals would drink tea, and a fun course where you can experience the luxurious tea culture while eating delicious green tea and snacks. There is also a small exhibition hall and museum where you can see the history of Sakai, so I recommend going there too! The next place I went to was Sakai Denshokan, where you can see and even buy knives and iron tools made by Sakai craftsmen. It is a place where various knives are carefully made and displayed, and it was really interesting to see how the size and shape of the knives change depending on the food ingredient being cut. To be honest, it is a rather small and bland city to go to with high expectations like Osaka or Kyoto, but it is a city with many places to visit for a day. I want to go to the bicycle museum that I couldn't go to this time next time! #Sakai

#Osaka #Sakai #Museum #TeaCeremonyExperience #SenRikyu #YosanoAkiko #Drive I was driving🚙 in Sakai city. There is a drive-through cafe near Shukuin Station on the Hankai Line, a streetcar that runs from Osaka City to Sakai City, so I was planning to go there. This place is next to the cafe. It is a space that exhibits tea master Sen no Rikyu and poet Yosano Akiko, who are connected to Sakai, and although it has been open for 9 years this year, I have never visited it, so I went. Admission fee 300 yen for adults 🍵Tea ceremony experience 800 yen There is a small discount if you buy it as a set. 🍵It seems that the tea ceremony experience is held by Urasenke, Omotesenke, and Mushakojisenke on a 10-day rotation. On this day, I went to Urasenke and had very delicious rainbow-colored Japanese sweets called "Hope"🌈 and matcha🍵. As it is a town of ancient burial mounds? The shape of the tea bowl is unique 🤭 Just outside the grounds is a place that is said to be Rikyu's birthplace. A tourist volunteer will explain various things to you 😊 If you have the opportunity to visit Sakai City, please try the tea ceremony 🍵,

Recommended Points// This museum opened on March 20th, 2015 as a cultural and tourist facility that widely disseminates the historical culture of Sakai, with a focus on Sen no Rikyu and Yosano Akiko. At the Yosano Akiko Memorial Museum on the second floor, you can listen to Yosano Akiko's poetry and her birthplace, Surugaya, is reproduced in almost actual size, creating a wonderful worldview.
