Shinsekai Hon-dori Shopping Street in Osaka has a lively atmosphere full of local Osaka character! Along the way, there are lots of kushikatsu restaurants, izakayas, and all kinds of snack shops. The streets are bustling with people, giving the area a real local feel.

What attracted me most was Osaka’s famous kushikatsu. The freshly fried skewers had a golden, crispy coating that made a “crunch” when I bit into them, while the ingredients inside remained fresh and tender. They were fragrant, crispy, and really delicious!

Rotating Bridge

Spanning the canal between Miyazu Bay and Aso Sea, home to Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, the Rotating Bridge connects Amanohashidate to the mainland where Chionji Temple’s Monju-do Hall is located. This rare bridge swivels 90 degrees to make way for larger vessels such as sightseeing and cargo ships. Officially named “Shotenkyo” (Small Amanohashidate Bridge), it is one of two bridges in the area, the other being “Daitenkyo” (Large Amanohashidate Bridge), which does not rotate.

When I arrived at the Rotating Bridge, a boat was just about to pass through. I was so lucky! The bridge deck slowly began to swivel, gradually opening to let the boat pass through smoothly. It was my first time seeing this in person, and it was truly impressive.

Watching the bridge slowly swing open and the boat gradually pass underneath was fascinating, even though the whole process wasn't very fast.

Daruchan no Ouchi in Chofu, Tokyo is a hands-on shop themed around daruma. Centered on the local traditional craft, Tama Daruma, it also serves as a hub for daruma culture. It is run by a local owner from Chofu and carries a wide range of original daruma goods. Its most popular hands-on program is the Chofu Daruma Workshop.

At Daruchan no Ouchi in Chofu, Tokyo, a whole row of cute daruma outside caught my eye before I even walked in! Daruma in all kinds of designs were lined up at the entrance, and their round shapes looked so auspicious that I couldn't help stopping to take pictures!

In Japan, daruma symbolize wishes and the fulfillment of goals. Seeing so many cute daruma gathered together made the whole atmosphere especially fun.
Hi-Chew (Grape)

This juicy soft candy was first launched in 1975. From the day its flagship strawberry flavor hit the shelves to the number of different flavors available today, the candies have captured the hearts of adults and children alike. Among them all, the “Grape” flavor is an extra-special hit.

The grape aroma is very noticeable. At first, you taste a sweet-and-tart grape flavor, followed by a rich fruity aroma that gradually comes through. The candy is springy and chewy, and it gets more flavorful the more you chew. It’s very satisfying, and there are lots of flavors to choose from.
