- Spot Introduction -
- Midosuji (from the train window)
Stretching from Umeda to Namba, this is Osaka's main street, with a total length of about 4.5 km. It is the busiest area in Osaka city. Approximately 970 ginkgo trees are planted along the road, and in autumn the beautiful leaves turn a vibrant golden color. During the Osaka Light Festival "Midosuji Illumination" period, the trees and buildings on both sides of the road are beautifully lit up, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
- Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street (18:45-19:55 Free time to explore)
This shopping street stretches for about 2.6 kilometers. It is lined with about 800 stores, including traditional restaurants, delicatessens, and swordsmith shops. You can get a real feel for Osaka just by walking around.
- River Station Hachikenya (15 minute stay, can leave from the stop)
During the Edo period, this wharf flourished as a departure point for fast boats connecting Kyoto and Osaka, but today it has been revived as a port where people can enjoy leisurely cruises and is a place of relaxation for the people. *You can enjoy a water and light water show (about 15 minutes) until around February 2026.
- Osaka Castle (from the train window)
The castle is a symbol of Osaka, built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who aimed to unify the country, on the site of Osaka (Ishiyama) Hongan-ji Temple. Its history is full of ups and downs, including the Summer Siege of Osaka, when the castle tower was burned down twice by lightning. The current Osaka Castle tower was rebuilt in 1931 using donations from the citizens of Osaka Prefecture, modeled after the castle tower from the Toyotomi era.
