There are other attractions nearby like the aquarium, LEGOLAND Osaka, and sightseeing cruises. It’s perfect for a day trip.

Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima Shrine stands on the island of Itsukushima, which is also known as the island of gods. It is said that the shrine was founded in 593 by Saeki no Kuramoto, and the 3 goddess “Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto,” “Tagorihime-no-Mikoto,” and “Tagitsuhime-no-Mikoto” are enshrined there. Famous for granting a wide list of benefits, these three goddesses as are worshipped as the goddesses of the sea, transportation, fortune, and art.
The shrine feels really dreamy. The big torii gate out in the water is super famous, and it looks great from both far away and up close.
At high tide it looks like it’s floating on the sea, and at low tide you can walk closer to take photos—totally different vibes depending on the time.
The island itself feels relaxed, and it’s really nice to stroll around. There are quite a few tourists though, so it can get crowded during peak times.
Overall, it’s absolutely worth visiting.

Shirakawa-go (Historic Village)
Shirakawa-go, a beautiful area where traditional Japanese scenery still exists, is home to the largest number of still-standing traditional “gassho-zukuri” Japanese homes. As of 2016, there are around 100 buildings still standing, both large and small. It is the largest remaining historic settlement in Japan, and it is preserved as a Group of Traditional Buildings in the register of Cultural Properties of Japan.
I love the winter scenery here.
It’s like a dreamy fairy tale!

Licca-chan doll has been loved by all generations since its debut in 1967. The Licca-chan Castle is a theme park filled with Licca-chan dreams, featuring a Licca-chan museum and an open factory where visitors can observe the doll's manufacturing process. Visitors can rent a gown and dress up as Licca-chan to tour the castle filled with Licca-chan and the romantic garden.
Everything inside is really unique, especially the dolls.
