We came to Temmabashi in Osaka to see the cherry blossoms and took a leisurely walk along the Okawa River. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom on both banks, with a sea of pink flowers reflected on the water, making the spring atmosphere especially enchanting. Along the way, we could also see the Aqua-Liner water bus slowly cruising past, moving between the cherry blossoms and the city scenery. With boats occasionally passing under the bridges, the view was quite poetic. The Temmabashi area is not only a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, but also a great place to experience Osaka’s atmosphere as a “city of water.” Taking a relaxed walk here was truly pleasant.

Momijido Main Store
Located on Omotesando shopping street, which connects the Miyajima pier to the World Heritage Itsukushima Shrine, this established Japanese confectionery shop has been a prominent store selling specialties like momiji manju, representative of not only Miyajima but also Hiroshima, for over 100 years since its establishment in Meiji 45 (1912).
來到宮島，紅葉堂本店的炸紅葉饅頭絕對是必嘗的小吃之一!店內最大的亮點，可以直接看到紅葉饅頭的製作過程。機械化生產的流程快速又整齊，從麵糊倒入模具、加上內餡，到一顆顆金黃可愛的楓葉形狀蛋糕出爐，整個過程相當壯觀，吸引不少遊客駐足圍觀。現場人氣十足，邊看製作、邊品嘗剛出爐的紅葉饅頭，十分有趣。

Mount Misen
Centrally located on Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Prefecture, known historically as "God's Island," is Mt. Misen. Ever since its founding in 806 AD by the great monk Kobo Daishi, this mountain has been revered as a sacred peak of mountain worship. The untouched Mt. Misen primeval forest, along with the Itsukushima Shrine, has been designated as a World Heritage site.
搭船前往宮島時，沿途壯麗的彌山景色也令人印象深刻。彌山是宮島最高峰，山勢綿延起伏，翠綠山林與蔚藍海面相互映襯，從船上望去，整座島嶼顯得格外寧靜而神秘。隨著船隻逐漸靠近宮島，山景、海景與朱紅色鳥居交織成一幅充滿日本風情的畫面。
