Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street

Osaka's representative shopping arcade. It is said to be "the longest shopping arcade in Japan" with a total length of about 2.6 km from Tenjinbashi 1-chome to 7-chome. It takes about 40 minutes to walk from one end of the arcade to the other. The arcade began to flourish when it became the main approach to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, which is located in 2-chome and is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning.

Akizuki Castle Ruins

Nearly at the center of Fukuoka, Akizuki is a valley at the foot of Mt. Kosho about an hour away from Fukuoka City. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, hard to attack and easy to defend, the valley was chosen for Lord Akizuki’s mountain castle. Later in 1623, according to Kuroda Nagamasa’s will, Akizuki Domain was established as a branch of Fukuoka Domain.
