Osaka Prefectural Forest

A topical suspension bridge located within the vast "Osaka Prefectural Forest Hosoda Garden". With a total length of 280m and a maximum height of 50m above ground, it is one of the largest wooden-floored humanitarian suspension bridges in the country. While enjoying the thrilling suspension bridge crossing, you can enjoy a variety of seasonal views such as fresh green and autumn leaves. At an altitude of 180m, the star swing is about a 40-minute walk from Keihan-Keiichi Station along the hiking path to Piton's hut. In addition, it is about 25 minutes via the Boken Road or the Hoshido Garden Management Road.

Osaka Prefectural Forest Kurundo Garden

A prefectural forest park where you can experience the beautiful nature of the four seasons. In addition to barbecue areas and day camping areas, there are eight hiking trails within the park, making it lively with families on holidays. It takes about 50 minutes on foot from Keihan Kashiwazaki Station to the park via the hiking trails.

Osaka Public University Botanical Garden

It is about six times larger than Koshien Stadium and can be observed around trees. It creates a typical 11-type forest in Japan. Such a recreation of the forest is unusual in the world. In particular, the tree-lined metasequoia, which grew to a height of about 30m, creates a stunning landscape throughout the four seasons.

Linchang Temple

A Shingon sect temple reportedly opened by Gyoki; burned down by Oda Nobunaga, but rebuilt as late as the Edo period; and a famous garden as the site of the Hirado Azalea; and a natural monument of the prefecture at the nearby Okanaka-Jinshasha.

Small Island Shop

One keshi rice cake is a specialty of 135 yen. The paste is wrapped in rice cakes and generously sprinkled with poppy grains, which protects a taste that has not changed since those days when it was founded in the Edo period. The flavor of the poppy grains is fine. The second floor is a tea house, and a set with matcha and sencha is 650 yen.

Nakamuraya

A nostalgic croquette shop in the shopping street that has been around since 1955. The croquettes, fried crispy over high heat for 90 yen, are fluffy with potatoes and popular among both children and adults. It's a signature product that sells 3,000 pieces a day. I want to stroll through the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street with a freshly fried croquette in hand. The minced cutlet is 150 yen.
