Atsuta Jingu Shrine

Reviewed By hjahim - Qianjin, Taiwan

We arrived 1400h. There was only two tour buses. The rest were locals. So it was pretty quiet. It can get very crowded on special occasions and different season. It was a lovely walk and offering of prayers all afternoon

Hosho-in (Osu Kannon)

Reviewed By KYHENG - Singapore, Singapore

A very old and major temple located at the end of the osu shopping street. Lots of photo opportunities. Strangely there are a lot of pigeons here (which is uncommon as crows seem to be the common birds in this part of japan), which gives you even more photo opportunities as children are running around playing with them.
