Tsukigesho is one Osaka souvenir I'd buy again. The outside is soft, and the filling has a rich milky flavor. It's also pretty good chilled. It's not a fancy dessert, but it's simple and doesn't get old, making it perfect for taking a box back to Taiwan and enjoying over time.

Tower of the Sun (Expo ’70 Commemorative Park)
Designed by artist Taro Okamoto, this approximately 70-meter-tall tower was built as the symbol of the Theme Pavilion at the Japan World Exposition Osaka 1970, the first world exposition held in Asia. Today, it serves as the symbol of Expo ’70 Commemorative Park in Osaka.
You can't enter without a reservation, and you also have to pay an entrance fee!

Matsue Castle
This hilltop castle stands on 29-meter-high Mt. Kameda near Lake Shinji and was designated a National Treasure in 2015. Horio Yoshiharu, lord of Izumo and Oki Provinces, built it about 400 years ago. It is also known as Chidori Castle because its gables resemble plovers spreading their wings.
This is one of the few remaining national treasure castles in Japan. The surrounding area is really well maintained, and the view of the lake from the top is fantastic!

Matsumoto Castle
Matsumoto Castle was built between the years 1593 and 1594. It is one of the oldest of the still-standing “gojuu-rokkai” (five roofs, six stories) structures in Japan, and it has been registered as a national treasure.
The weather was perfect when I visited, and the black-and-white contrast of Matsumoto Castle looked stunning against the backdrop of the mountains. The stairs inside the main keep are pretty steep, so be careful when you go up and down.
