Osaka may not have as many cultural and historical gems as Kyoto, but it still has some pretty cool attractions for tourists.youtube.com There’s Osaka Castle and Universal Studios Japan, and soon there’s even going to be a hot springs theme park! Osaka is no stranger to good cuisine either; between takoyaki, okonomiyaki, steamed pork buns, and this two-foot tall parfait, you’ll probably never go hungry there.worldtravelguide.net But aside from all of the big-name tourist stops, there are also some little-known places that are also worth checking out, like Nambayasaka Shrine. It’s got a giant lion’s head that beckons you with its gaping, toothy mouth! Osaka residents just think of it as a normal, everyday thing, and tourists don’t really seem to know about it, so it’s a quiet hidden gem in Osaka.


Nambayasaka Shrine is in a pretty good location, just a six-minute walk from Namba Stationon the Yotsubashi Line and the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. Even if you’re expecting to see it, you can’t help but be a little taken aback when you do. It is just so big, at 12 meters tall, 11 meters across, and 10 meters deep. The inside is a stage, which is used for dances during festivals and other events. Unexpectedly, there are even speakers in the nostrils. The large, roaring mouth of the lion is said to invite victory and eat evil spirits, so praying at Nambayasaka Shrine can bring you good fortune in school and work, such as passing exams and having success in business. The main shrine building is also worth noting.


It’s unknown how old the building is, but it seems like it was built in reverence to the Namba area’s residential god, Ubusuna-gami, who has been protecting Namba for a long time. It is also known to have once been a shrine for the angry-looking Gozu Tenno, the god who is enshrined at Kyoto’s famous Yasaka Shrine, so it has been widely respected, and widely feared, over the years. Because this shrine is precious to many people, including the locals, it is well-maintained; the grounds are very clean, and the buildings are in good condition. It’s also a very quiet and calm place. We couldn’t hear any of the usual hustle and bustle of the nearby Namba area, which was really surprising. We had no idea that such a peaceful location existed so close to Namba Station. Read more stories from SoraNews24. Heading to a Shinto shrine soon?

OSAKA - A judicial panel is urging prosecutors to reinvestigate a case against a former senior Finance Ministry official who was involved in the state land sale that sparked allegations of cronyism against Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. But the independent judicial panel of citizens stopped short of demanding the indictment of Sagawa, who led the ministry bureau that handled the land sale.

Updated on July 11, 2018 Cecil Kenmill moreI am an expat living in Japan. Everyday is an adventure and a blessing. While packing for our trip to Seoul my girlfriend asked, "Should we bring the camera?" I froze. She wasn't talking about the usual camera I carry everywhere. She was talking about our baby: the Nikon D5300 Digital SLR Camera. It was my early Christmas present to her and the first time I spent this much money on a gift. Seoul is one of the largest cities in the world. It's the capital of South Korea--the middle child of the Far East.


We have never been there together but decided to go. The flight was less than two hours from Osaka so a quick three-day getaway would be easy. Most Japanese think of shopping or great food when they go to Seoul. This reputation is well-deserved. Still, there was plenty of time for both later on so we went to Gyeongbokgung Palace the morning after we landed. Gyeongbokgung Palace is one of the "Five Grand Palaces" of Korea built during the Joseon Dynasty and its convenient location in Seoul makes it a popular tourist attraction. The morning was clear and sunny but very cold.accuweather.com At first, my Nikon D5300 digital camera felt heavy around my neck.


Also, I was worried more about keeping it safe than enjoying the scenery. All this changed as soon as I took my first few pictures. The image was flawless in the bright winter morning. A few more pictures later I realized that what a bargain this camera was.yahoo.com Gyeongbokgung Palace is beautiful and with my Nikon D5300 digital camera I was ready to show everyone I knew with each picture I took. Before I knew it, I heard an announcement that the ceremony was about to begin: the changing of the royal guard. The changing of the royal guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace is held at the main gate. The ceremony began in 1996 as a reenactment of the original held in the 15th century.


It is performed on the hour, every hour from 10am to 3pm everyday of the year, except Tuesdays. It is a parade that lasts about twenty minutes. The guards wear traditional costumes and hold traditional weapons such as spears and bows and arrows. The banners and costumes are colorful.wikitravel.org The music sounds like something out of "The Last Emperor" and it ends with a beating of a loud drum. The drum seems to shake the ground and none of the tourists see it coming. The rest of my trip to Seoul was just as exciting and fun. It included Myeongdong for shopping and upscale Gangnam for raw crab. Still, in the end, Gyeongbokgung Palace is where my Nikon D5300 digital camera proved itself. I can't wait to take it with me on my next festival! Digital PhotographyLife Without A Camera? Digital CamerasWhich Nikon DSLR Camera For New Photographers?


There are so many things to see and do in Osaka with kids. Given we were there only a few days and just after our arrival in Japan, thus still battling jetlag, we focused on the following sights. Dōtonbori canal is about 10 minutes away from Namba Station or the Swissotel. Dōtonbori is a popular nightlife and entertainment area with an eccentric atmosphere and large illuminated signboards. When you walk along the canal watch your feet! It’s pretty dirty along the river! Nevertheless it’s a great stroll for kids because there’s so much to see. My kids loved the animated signboards on the buildings, the cruises on the river and the food you get to try.japan-guide.com Make sure you visit twice, day and nighttime make you feel in two different places.
