There weren't many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there's not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era. The extra stone museum ticket wasn't really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something—they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

Not the usual temple/shrine landscape, many doruma placed around the whole temple for well wishing, creating a one of a kind picturesque photo opportunity! Need to take a bus 15min ride from the train station. Well worth the entrance fee.

The Osaka Midosuji Street light show from November to December every year makes this busy commercial street during the day more warm and charming at night. It is the ginkgo season and Christmas season, and the street is decorated brightly and warmly. It feels good to walk along Midosuji Street from north to south while listening to "Osaka Romance".

Located on one side of the Osaka City Museum of Natural History, it covers a large area and is very beautiful when it blooms in spring. The trails surrounding the pond are very comfortable. Many people run here and the environment is good.

It is the earliest Buddhist temple in Japan. It was built by Prince Shotoku in 593. At the beginning, it was located on the east bank of Tamatsukuri. Later, it was moved to the mausoleum in Naniwa, which is the current site. Historically, Shitennoji Temple has suffered many wars and natural disasters. There have been seven major damages, but each time it was rebuilt or repaired by Kongo-gumi. The main buildings were rebuilt in 1963, and the Sutra Hall and the Painting Hall were rebuilt in 1979. Today, it still maintains the style of the Asuka period. • Architectural features: The temple has a unified architectural style, red columns and white walls, showing the characteristics of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China. The main buildings such as the central gate, five-story pagoda, golden hall, and lecture hall are arranged in a straight line from north to south, and the exterior is surrounded by corridors. This layout of the temple imitates the architectural style of China at that time and is called "Shitennoji style". • Religious significance: Shitennoji Temple is the head temple of the Japanese Kazu sect (Shotoku sect). The temple enshrines the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara and the Four Heavenly Kings. It is known as the "Golden Light Four Heavenly Kings Great Gokoku Temple". It is a temple that protects and guards the country in the Buddhist community, and is also regarded by Buddhists as the Buddhist altar of Osaka. • Cultural value: Shitennoji Temple is the birthplace of Japanese art and craft industries and other cultures. The temple houses many treasures, such as the Lotus Sutra on paper-colored fan-shaped pages and the Japanese national treasures such as the Bingzi Jiaolin Sword and the Seven Star Sword. In addition, Chinese and Korean dance music that were introduced along with Buddhism have also evolved into the unique Tennoji dance music. • Related activities: Shitennoji Temple holds many activities every year, such as the doya-doya festival, the Holy Spirit Society, the Shitennoji wasso, the dance music grand ceremony, the bonfire dance music, etc. A flea market is also held on the 21st and 22nd of each month, when you can find various special items such as antiques, clothing, accessories, etc. The main gate is open free of charge all day, but the central monastery and treasure house require additional fees.
