Ryukokuzan Hongwanji (Nishi Hongwanji Temple)

Affectionately coined as “Onishi-san," Nishi Hongwanji stands as the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji sect. After the death of Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, his youngest daughter, Kakushinni, established a mausoleum enshrining his remains and image. In 1591, Toyotomi Hideyoshi relocated the temple to its current location.

There are way fewer people here compared to Kiyomizu-dera or Kinkaku-ji, so it's super relaxing to walk around.

Nankai Electric Railway Kada Sakana Line (Kada Line) “Medetai Train”

“Medetai Train” travels the Nankai Electric Railway Kada Line, nicknamed the “Kada Sakana Line.” Built around the concept that “Kada’s prized sea bream now swims along the rails,” it’s a two-car sightseeing train. The name expresses its intent to be “a train that simply riding makes you feel fortunate (medetai)” and “a train that’s so charming you’ll want to keep riding it.”

The whole line is super relaxing! The train's theme is 'fish,' and it's just insanely cute 🐟. The cars are packed with ocean elements—even the hand straps are shaped like fish. I wish I could take one home! 🤣
