The oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. Ikkyu Sojun once lived here for five years. It's pretty quiet since there aren't many tourists.

You can really appreciate Japanese garden culture through the dry landscape garden here. The beauty is simple yet sophisticated.

There are plenty of restrooms and seats everywhere inside. It's really thoughtful and convenient, especially for seniors who might get tired and need to rest.

This is the most iconic building in the Umeda area. The observatory offers amazing views of Osaka's vibrant nightscape. There's also a food court downstairs with all kinds of Japanese cuisine, so you won't feel lonely at night.

The park is huge, and it's an uphill walk from the parking lot. I recommend buying a ticket for the little train instead...
