Yamazaki River

Reviewed By Emily2018_G_Scott - Sydney, Australia

This is by far the most romantic cherry blossom spot that you can find during the season. This is a university town in a quiet suburbs, you will see children and old folks enjoying the walk along the river where both sides of the banks are dotted with beautiful cherry blossoms. There’s park benches, steps, Japanese wooden bridge surrounding the area, good place to soak in the spring air and photograph the graceful flowers.

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

Noritake no Mori

Reviewed By maxfield

Fun!! Nice museum showing the Noritake porcelain process, with an excellent on site store and nice cafe. Highlight for us was the paint your own plate experience, for $100 Aud we painted two plates and that included shipping once fired, to Australia. Choose plain or pre patterned plates (pattern outline burns off when fired) and create your masterpiece. Delivery was quick, actually beat us back from Japan. Highly recommended.

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.
