Mt. Makio Sefukuji Temple

Reviewed By neko_don - Osaka, Japan

一丁(100m)ごとに、お寺まで、あと五丁とか、石の標識が立っていて登るのを励ましてくれます。
たまに、パワースポットという事で、デートでパンプスとスカートで来ている人がいますが、とても辛い思いをされてました。
駐車場から、お寺本堂まで二キロあります。
全て坂道、それも半分は砂利道です。
山門をくぐり抜ける所が、全体の4分の1くらいかな、、、
登っていって、青いベンチと小さな滝から、さらに250m登ります。
飲み物は、必要ですし、麓の売店で登る時に無料の杖を借りるのをお勧めします。
登りついたお寺は、とても良い所で、内陣も拝観料500円はらってお参りするのが、お勧めです。
特に裏側は、七福神や、馬頭観音様、撫で仏など、有り難い仏様や、天部の神様守護天など、普段、見られない本当の大黒天様とかが沢山、いらっしゃいます。
何時間でも、過ごしたい、とても気持ちよい場所です。
また、弘法大師さま縁の、お堂もあります。
で、過ごして、降りてくると足がガクガクになってますので、お気をつけを。
帰り道が楽なようですが、とても疲れますので、ゆっくりゆっくり降りて下さい。

Kishiwada Castle

Reviewed By AraleMelbourne - Australia

We were on our way back from Kansai Airport to Namba when we stopped at Kishiwada to see the castle there. We couldn't find any English Review of the castle and the castle did not rank highly on tourist attraction. We had some extra time so we decided to stop by.
The Castle is about 7 mins easy walk from the Kishiwada station. The castle grounds are beautiful and the simple fact that this isn't a popular tourist attraction meant you had ample space and time to take really lovely pictures. There are very lovely cherry blossoms surrounding the castle and the quietness of the castle grounds was surreal.
We spent more time than we expected there simply because it was so lovely. We were quite hesitant to leave (but for the time slipping by). We highly recommend this especially if you are a photographer.

Masaki Art Museum

Reviewed By Kwakaku - Sakai, Japan

The chilly sea winds were swirling along the street of a port town, Tadaoka Town. After driving down out of a transportation highway, I was in the middle of a township with houses, small factories, and residences. Masaki Art Museum was attached to one of those residences.
Takayuki Masaki (1895-1985) became rich with those factories and accumulated more than 1,300 objects, including three Japanese National Treasures. In 1968, he established Masaki Art Museum in Tadaoka Town, Semboku County, Osaka Prefecture, in order to exhibit his collection.
Every time I visit the museum, I am surprised at how knowledgeable the curator is, or rather I have been allured with some themes she has set up.
The museum is not so large in size, and its exhibition rooms are small and few. In addition, compared to the collections by financial conglomerates, their items are not plenty in quantity. However, the curator always presents unique and attractive themes, each of which lets visitors realize an essential aspect of East Asian cultures.
If you visit the museum, Reading this preview, you might be a foreign sightseer. I guarantee you never fail to grasp just one hidden side of Japanese culture.

Hamadera Park

Reviewed By Kwakaku - Sakai, Japan

I was visiting the park on business, but many other old people were jogging, cycling or just walking. Young mothers were pushing their baby buggies. Toddlers and young children were playing with playground equipments. The park is surely an relaxing spot for the neighborhood.

Tadaoka Shrine

Reviewed By g-digoro - Suita, Japan

南側の鳥居をくぐってすぐ左に「お牛様」があります。北野天満宮で見たのとほぼ同じです。もともとは菅原道真公を祀った神社だそうです。
本殿の手前には「御神馬」が祀られています。萬野汽船の創業者が寄贈したようです。
北側には10台ほどが駐車できる無料駐車場があります。
夏場には定期的に夜店が開かれるようです。

Kuboso Memorial Museum of Arts, Izumi

Reviewed By Kwakaku - Sakai, Japan

A couple of years ago, I visited Okayama largely to listen to a classic concert there, and partially to see a picture drawn by Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645). Unluckily the picture was temporally unavailable. This time, I visited Kuboso Museum to see another picture of Miyamoto Musashi’s. How beautifully a professional painter painted a beautiful object is not a matter of importance. How and what a swordsman at the beginning of the Edo Period, after the Warring States Period had been over, drew was a matter of interest. He simply drew a shrike, which hunts bugs, frogs, and lizards, standing still on a solitary slim dead tree.
