This time, I booked early departure and late return flights through Trip. Since I earned points from booking a hotel in Alishan during the summer vacation, I continued using Trip. I find Trip's rewards and services quite good. This time, I used the VIP lounge access given to Platinum members for my daughter, but unfortunately, there was no hot food after 10:00 AM. I also booked Universal Studios tickets through Trip, which were cheaper than the other two travel websites. Now I'm truly a loyal customer! From now on, I'll prioritize using Trip~~love

|Festival of Lights. 🌟If you travel to Osaka in winter, don't miss the romantic lighting events. Different events with different themes are held in different areas, including Namba, Umeda, Nakanoshima, Tennoji, etc. You can visit them according to your itinerary. - ✨Midosuji Illumination - Festival of Lights: Dazzling Future The first recommendation is the Midosuji Illumination, which has been held for many years and was selected for the Guinness World Records in 2015. It is large in scale and long in route, and it is suitable to see the lights after shopping and dining, lasting until Christmas/New Year! The lights on both sides of the road are dazzling, which is so romantic. 🎆Different light colors are designed according to specific themes, including pink, gold, white, blue, etc. The whole journey is more than 4 km, and it takes an hour to walk through, but the changes in each section are not big, so you can just take pictures at a few places. I personally walked from Shinsaibashi to Honmachi Station, and the lights were purple. - ⏰Lighting time: Nov 3–Dec 31, 17:00–23:00 (Dec 31 until 25:00) 🔎Address: Midosuji (Hanshin-mae Intersection–Namba Nishiguchi Intersection) - ✨Nakanoshima Illumination - Festival of Lights: Light Renaissance This is also part of the Festival of Lights. In addition to the lights on the riverside and in the garden, there are also gorgeous lighting designs on the outer walls of Osaka City Hall and Osaka City Central Public Hall, which are worth seeing. Note that the lighting time is different in different locations. - ⏰Lighting time: Nov 3–Dec 31, 17:00–23:00 (Dec 31 until 25:00) 🔎Address: Front of Osaka City Hall, Nakanoshima Park - ⏰Lighting time: Dec 14–Dec 25, 17:00–21:00 🔎Address: Osaka City Central Public Hall

If you're visiting Osaka, don't miss the Sylvanian Christmas 2024 at Sunny Terrace. It's a Christmas event featuring the Sylvanian Families at Sunny Terrace in Whity Umeda.

#ChristmasGood Place2024 #Dessert Recommendation #Japan Must Eat #harbs I was in the Umeda Daimaru Department Store for tax refund, and I passed by HARBS on the 5th floor and stood in line. Although there are many fruit millet shops with the same name such as Aftertea, no matter how long I eat Harbs, I still feel that I deserve the title~ ❤️In addition to the delicious fruit cake, this time I was fascinated by the chestnut mille-feuille, which was even more delicious! Everyone must order a drink, the cherry tea has a light fruity flavor and goes well with the not-sweet chestnut cake👍 ❤️ If you want to eat noodles, it is recommended to choose a set meal that includes salad + staple food + drink + cake of the day (about 1/4); you can also choose a value set from 11 o'clock to 3 pm, which is an afternoon tea worth tasting😋

The main tree beautifully and fantastically expressed the theme of the kaleidoscope through the angle of view and the color changes of the lighting show. The approximately 10-meter-tall giant Christmas tree can be seen from the front on the first floor and the entire view from the front on the second floor. The street trees outside are also illuminated, so be sure to take a stroll. Highly recommended for Osaka sightseeing. ◆GRAND WISH CHRISTMAS2024 Infinity Lights ◆November 7, 2024 - December 25, 2024 ◆Lighting Show Weekdays 16:00-24:00, Weekends and Holidays 15:00-24:00 ◆Exhibition Location: North Building 1F Knowledge Plaza 【Name】Grand Front Osaka 【Location】3-1 Ofukacho, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka Prefecture 【Access】Directly connected to JR Osaka Station November 2024

#osakahotel My dear friends, this time during my trip to Osaka, I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, which was newly opened in August. I didn't have any expectations because my previous experience was not good, especially the W Hotel in Shinsaibashi which was disappointing. But this time it completely subverted the impression. The premium corner suite is 69 square meters and has a reasonable layout. The hotel is very new, the hardware meets Four Seasons standards, and the bathroom is actually better than the picture. The suite faces south and has good lighting. It has a large cloakroom, but the shower room has a manual roller shutter. The service is satisfactory, the front desk is efficient, and the rooms are clean. The free shoe shine service is great and saved the white shoes after dancing. 💖 In terms of catering, the semi-buffet breakfast is quite satisfactory, and the Chinese restaurant Tianjiang Nanchun is delicious and reasonably priced. The location is in Umeda, across the river from Conrad, and about a 10-minute walk to the business district. I will definitely choose Four Seasons when visiting Osaka in the future because of the scenery and location. During my stay, it was the Korean Mama Awards Ceremony, and I saw many little idols checking in. Although I didn't know them, I was surprised. Come to Four Seasons Hotel Osaka and start your wonderful journey. 💗 #osakafourseasonshotel #osakahotel #japantravel

Located on the first floor of HEP Navio in Osaka, there's a Takoyaki Market. In one corner of it, you'll find Aizuya. Aizuya was founded in 1933 by the first generation, Tokichi Endo, and two years later, they created the takoyaki, which became a famous delicacy in Osaka. You can enjoy the original flavor without any sauce. Since it is already flavored, it is recommended to eat it plain without any sauce. The texture is fluffy and delicious. 8 pieces for 500 yen and up. You can also try Radio-yaki, the predecessor of takoyaki, which contains konjac and beef instead of octopus!

#osakatravel Shitennoji Temple ~ "A corner of the downtown area to wash away the dust of the heart, and a thousand years of time to temper the soul" "Prince Shotoku": When talking about Shitennoji Temple, we cannot talk about Prince Shotoku, who is known as the "ancestor of Japanese Buddhism". Prince Shotoku built a total of seven temples in Japan, collectively known as the "Seven Temples Built by Prince Shotoku". . Prince Shotoku was a member of the royal family of the Asuka period. Without the help of the prince, Buddhism would not have become so popular in Japan! ! 📖History: It was built in 593. Prince Shotoku was at a disadvantage when he fought against the "Abolish Buddhism Sect". He personally carved the "Four Heavenly Kings" statue to pray for the success of the fight. He also expressed his ambition to build a temple to represent the Four Heavenly Kings if the fight was successful. To worship, that’s why the current “Shitennoji” came into existence~ ➡️The Four Heavenly Kings: refers to the Buddhist patron saints "Chi Guotian", "Zengguotian", "Guangmu Tian" and "Duowen Tian" 🔔"Seven incredible things": ~East Gate of Bliss~ The east gate is a "stone torii" building, but as a temple, how can you see a torii? ? This is actually related to the system of "separation policy of gods and Buddhas" that I have introduced too much. In the past, gods and Buddhas were not separated into different families, so don't feel strange when you see a torii gate in a temple ~ and the interesting thing is that the birds The plaque at the top reads "This is the place where Sakyamuni Tathagata preaches the Dharma, the east gate of bliss" ~ ～Bang Bang Stone🪨～ It is located under the stone torii gate of the East Gate of Paradise. There is a square hole on the stone pillar of the torii gate. It is said that the voices of ancestors from other lives can be heard here🔊~ and there will be a banging sound (I didn't hear it) Here comes the voice of our ancestors) ～Cat Gate🐱～ Located above the Nio Gate, it is said that the sleeping cat of "Nikko Toshogu" and this cat 🐈 will call each other on New Year's Day and New Year's Eve, and this cat's job is mainly responsible for patrolling the temple and checking whether the scriptures have been bitten by mice 🐁 Damn, I have a job! I'm not just trying to be cute to take photos with you! ! ~Dragon Well🐲~ I heard that this well is connected to the "heatless pool" in India (too far!?) There is a "green dragon🐉" in the well to protect the safety of the temple. ~The ghost tiles of the five-story pagoda~ It is said that no matter which angle you look up, you can see faces, including "Bishamonten", "Benzaiten" and "Dahkokuten", which shows the exquisite craftsmanship! ～North Bell Hall～ It is said that the sound of this bell 🔔 belongs to the "yellow bell tune". This kind of bell can be transmitted all the way to the other world, and can make the ancestors of the Pure Land feel calm after listening to it ~ ～Long-shaped sarcophagus lid～ This stone is made from a sarcophagus lid from the "Kofun Period". It used to be a stone bridge. I heard that as long as you walk across the stone bridge, you can have a smooth delivery! ✨Important highlights: ~Lecture Hall~ The place where monks read scriptures and preach sermons is divided into "Summer Hall" and "East Hall". It is said that Prince Shotoku once used this place. The murals in the hall are even more interesting! ~Jintang~ The place where the main statue of Shitennoji Temple is placed. The exterior of the building is vermilion. Don’t miss the opportunity to take photos here as a souvenir! ～Five-story pagoda～ It is the spiritual symbol of Shitennoji Temple. At that time, Prince Shotoku vowed to save the six realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, and heaven), so he placed six Buddha relics and six hairs of his own hair in the pagoda. It is the "Six Paths Relief Tower", and you can see the entire Osaka city view from the top floor~ ~Zhongmen~ Located at the southern end of "Central Garan", the two ends of the central gate are equipped with the guardian saint "Vajra Rikishi" statues, also known as "Niohmon" ~Xichongmen~ It is the entrance to "Central Garan". The exterior is white and vermilion, which makes it a good photo spot~ ~The Garden of Pure Land of Utmost Bliss~ It is a "pond circulation garden" with two streams and two ponds, both of which are naturally formed. You can also enjoy cherry blossoms🌸 and maple leaves🍁 here! The scenery in all four seasons is beautiful~ ~Treasure Hall~ There are more than 500 national treasures on display, which are very important cultural assets. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are also various planned exhibitions and special exhibitions. Why not stop and take a look? ～Six o'clock Praise Hall～ Designated as an important cultural property, it got its name because the Dharma rituals 🧎➡️ and the six o'clock praising rituals are performed here 6 times a day. It is also a place for laying bones~ ~Stone Torii Gate🪨~ They are the East Gate and West Gate of Paradise mentioned in the previous seven incredible things. It is not easy to see the "Stone Torii Gate" in Japan, so be sure to take a photo to commemorate it! 📍Address: 1-11-18 Shitennoji, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City 🚴Transportation: Subway Tanimachi Line "Shitennoji-mae" South Exit 💰Per capita consumption: The temple is free🆓 Center Garan: 300 yen Garden: 300 yen Treasure Museum: 500 yen 🕰️Business hours: The temple is open all day Central Garland, Garden and Halls 08:30-16:30 (April-September) Central Garland, Garden and Halls 08:30-16:00 (October-March of the following year) 💞Recommended reasons: It is the oldest temple with garland architecture in Japan.
