Namba Yasaka Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the Namba district of Osaka. It is especially famous for its unique lion-shaped stage, known as the Ema-den, which resembles a giant lion’s head. The open mouth of the lion is believed to swallow evil spirits and bring good luck, success, and protection to worshippers.
The shrine has a long history and serves as a guardian deity of the local community. Every January, the shrine hosts the Tōka Ebisu festival, attracting many visitors who come to pray for prosperity in business and good fortune in the new year. Today, Namba Yasaka Shrine is not only a spiritual site but also a popular tourist spot in Osaka due to its striking architecture and cultural significance.
Umeda Sky Building
The Umeda Sky Building is one of Osaka’s most iconic landmarks, located in the Umeda district. Completed in 1993, this 173-meter-tall skyscraper consists of two towers connected at the top by the “Floating Garden Observatory.” The observatory offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
The building is also known for its unique architecture, designed by Hiroshi Hara, which resembles a futuristic “Arc de Triomphe.” Inside, visitors can find restaurants, offices, and an underground market styled after the early Showa era. At night, the observatory becomes a romantic spot to enjoy the city lights.

“Day 3 - Customised Tour - Recommend!”
After 2 days tour with Akira, he know we like to see heritage and he explained history very well. He recommended we should go Toshodai-ji after seeing so many temples / shines. He is detail and know what we want to see and do recommendation. Very happy that we go with his plan and visited Toshodai-ji which was founded in the year 759 by Ganjin, a Chinese priest who was invited to Japan by the emperor in order to train priests. We also pay respect to Ganjin’s tomb. We also manage to go Daruma Temple (Katsuo-ji Temple) - recommeded to go with Akira too! Lots of fun there!

It is truly my honor and great pleasure to introduce you to a hidden historical treasure in Nara — Tōshōdai-ji Temple. Although not as widely known as some other famous sites, it is deeply meaningful and well worth visiting, especially if you are interested in history. You will discover an important chapter in the transmission of Buddhism to Japan, with Nara as a key starting point. I am very happy to have the opportunity to show you this remarkable and peaceful temple. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your message. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed our Osaka tour. Although our time together was short, it was truly wonderful. We were able to complete everything as planned and make the most of the time we had. Even though you needed to return to the ship and the schedule was tight, I’m glad we could provide the best possible experience within the limited time. Thank you again, and I sincerely hope we will have another opportunity to meet and explore together in the future.

“Day 2 tour with Akira - Excellent”
Day 2 tour with Akira - Excellent We manage to see (1) Fushimi Inari Taisha, (2) Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), (3) Kiyomizudera Temple, (4) Hokanji Temple (Yasakanotou Pagoda), (5) Gion. Along Gion street, Akira also taught us how to see which resturant will have Geisha performance by seeing the lantern light on/off. Yes! We are lucky to see Geisha! And if you like to go for local food that only local people go, Akira know all the local hidden food area. Leave it to Akira to plan for lunch!

Thank you very, very much for your kind words and high praise. As your guide on your second day in Kyoto, we were able to visit almost all the key highlights in the eastern part of the city. There are many wonderful places worth seeing in the Higashiyama area, but thanks to our careful planning, we covered the most important sites and experienced the culture in the most meaningful way. I truly appreciate your and your mother’s cooperation — it was because of your support that we were able to complete the full itinerary smoothly. Thank you again.

The highlight of the trip will be seeing deer. Let's go on a super compact trip!
