The first time I walked into Tenryu-ji Temple, what surprised me most was the tranquility of the garden. Sitting beside Sogen Pond and taking it all in, the mountain scenery, pond, and old temple buildings blended together, giving it a true Kyoto feel. It was especially beautiful during cherry blossom season, when the soft pink flowers decorated the ancient temple grounds. The whole scene felt gentle and romantic, making it hard to stop taking photos. It was also a great place to slow down and experience Kyoto's Zen atmosphere.

Rinku Premium Outlets
This outlet mall is in the Rinku Town across the bay from Kansai International Airport and many tourists from other countries visit here. In August of 2020, in commemoration of its 20th anniversary, the mall was expanded for the 5th time into the largest outlet in western Japan.
Rinku Premium Outlets Osaka is located in Rinku Town near Kansai International Airport and is one of Osaka's most popular outlet malls. Its biggest draws are the wide selection of brands and steep discounts. It's also very close to Kansai Airport, making it a convenient place to shop on the last day of an Osaka trip.
Brands here include Nike, Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Coach, Michael Kors, and Lacoste. You can shop for clothing, shoes, bags, sporting goods, and household items all in one place.

Kohfukuji Temple
This temple was first built as a private residence of Fujiwara no Kamatari in Yamashina-suehara of Yamashiro-no-kuni (current Kyoto prefecture) and named Yamashina-dera, and later, Fujiwara no Fuhito decided to relocate to the current place at the time of the establishment of the Heijo Ⅽapital in 710, and the temple was renamed Kohfukuji.
What impressed me most about Kohfukuji Temple was seeing the ancient temple and Nara deer together in the same scene! Admiring the majestic five-story pagoda and traditional architecture while watching deer leisurely strolling nearby really felt uniquely Nara.

Ebisu Bridge
Ebisu Bridge, which is said to have been constructed almost simultaneously with the excavation of the Dotonbori River.
Ebisu Bridge is located in Osaka's Dotonbori area and is one of the city's most iconic landmarks. From the bridge, you can take in the lively Dotonbori River, with many restaurants, shops, and huge signs on both sides. The most famous is the familiar Glico Running Man sign.
