  • During the day, you can clearly see the well-preserved historic buildings. At night, the lights add a special charm to the place.

  • I highly recommend the assorted seafood rice bowl here. You get to try a variety of fresh seafood, and it's definitely the signature dish of the place.

  • I visited in October and the whole area was covered in autumn leaves—yellow, green, and red all over the mountains. The scenery was absolutely stunning.

    The ferris wheel ride takes about 15 minutes. The city views from the top are beautiful. If you're visiting Umeda, don't miss it!

  • After checking out the observation deck, I tried some local Osaka food nearby—kushikatsu, fugu, and all kinds of delicious dishes.

  • If you love good food, you absolutely have to come here and try all the delicious eats. No wonder they call it Osaka's kitchen!

  • The observation deck on the mountain is the best spot to see Kobe's night view. Since it's pretty high up, make sure to bring extra clothes to stay warm.

  • Right next to Himeji Castle, there's a whole park filled with cherry blossom trees. Lots of locals just sit under the trees and have picnics—such a happy vibe!

  • There's an art museum, hotel, open-air stage, botanical garden, and even the Church of the Sea designed by Tadao Ando. It's really impressive how all these are blended with the natural landscape.

  • You can walk around under the bridge, and if you have extra time, you can pay JPY 250 to go inside the bridge. There's a short glass walkway inside, but it's a bit scary.
