The park itself had a great vibe to it. Attractions such as roller coaster and swing ride really compliment the beauty of this park as the amazing view can be seen from when the ride is taken. Since I went here during Christmas, they had a special illumination event where the whole park is basically filled with different light colors, which was one of the best I've seen so far.

Hirakata T-Site has a lot going for it--grocery store, Starbucks, a huge book shop and more. We like to come and by fruits and select meats, although other supermarkets are slightly cheaper. Great to come look through books and sip on coffee on the weekends. Recommended.

This park delivers so much more than what might be expected from a city park. Meticulously maintained flowerbeds, a tranquil, large pond, a Japanese gazebo perched on the water, sunset benches...and that's only half of the park! Cross the majestic bridge to the other side and you will have hills and fields fit to host hundreds if not thousands of people that would like to have barbecues, throw the frisbee, and let the dogs run. A winding path takes you through vegetative arches and leads to a small stream that is great to cool your feet off in. Of course the town cats feel that they run the place. But they will permit you to visit and enjoy the park during the day. :) Plum trees bloom in the spring. So much more I could say. I've lived here for 6 years and I continue to spend as much time as I can in this park, and I always see something new that makes me smile.

Well, it's a bus. You get on at a stop and off at another. Simple. Hard to critique. 230 yen is pricey, but all drivers are professional.

こちらは、国の特別史跡だそうで。枚方市駅から歩いて訪ねました。
予想外なことに東塔跡、西塔跡、金堂跡など、かなりはっきりとした跡が残っていて、伽藍の建っていた当時が彷彿とするような場所でした。面白い場所です。

樟葉中学校の北側の住宅街の中にひっそりとたたずんでいますが、その歴史は古く787年に作られたそうです。
入口にある鳥居から200m程静かな原生林の林の中を通ると木造建築の立派な本殿に行けます。お守りや絵馬が買いたい方は、本殿の左側に神主さんの家がありますので、そこで買えます。

We were there in June and the hydrangeas were in bloom. The Gardens are full of maples and the fall colors must be spectacular. This place is not easy to find and not very crowded. It was possible to take pictures with out people. A rare thing in Japan
