Naminoue Shrine is very close to the city center. From another angle, it really does look like a shrine on a hillside.
There’s also a small beach next to it that you can walk down to, and in the summer the water is nice and cool, which feels really refreshing.

Tower of Osaka Castle
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified the country during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600), began construction of the tower of Osaka Castle in 1583 and completed it in 1585. The castle was later destroyed during the Osaka Natsu no Jin（summer campaign of Osaka） in 1615, but was rebuilt by the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1626. However, the castle keep was destroyed by lightning in 1665. In 1931, the castle tower of the Toyotomi period was reconstructed with donations from Osaka citizens.
My image of Osaka Castle always came from that scene in Detective Conan with Heiji Hattori standing in front of it, which was really fun, so I wanted to take the same kind of photo too~
When I saw Osaka Castle, I honestly thought it looked so beautiful. The green roof tiles and gold leaf decorations are gorgeous. If I get the chance, I’d love to go up to the top and look out over all of Osaka Castle Park. -

Umikaji Terrace
Senaga Island with a 1.8km circumference is connected to Naha Airport with a marine road. This is where a multi resort facility stands. White buildings line the slope facing the emerald green ocean. It looks like a little town. The beauty was designed after the European resorts such as the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Santorini Island on the Aegean Sea.
It was a shame the weather wasn’t great when we went, but it didn’t affect the vibe at Senaga Island at all. Relaxing in the sea breeze with Happy Pancake was pure bliss!!!

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
“Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium” is a popular tourist spot, located in Okinawa’s Kaiyohaku Park. If you take the building’s escalator down from the 4th floor to the 3rd, you’ll find yourself at the entrance to the aquarium. The aquarium is designed as a “deep dive” into the ocean as you go down to the 2nd and 1st floors, so as you descend, a magnificent world filled with mysterious Okinawan ocean creatures unfolds before you!
Kaiyohaku is really a great place for visitors of all ages.
Once you enter the aquarium, it feels like stepping into a wonder-filled ocean world. Seeing huge sea creatures swim right in front of you up close is a really special experience. -
