This is a famous temple in Osaka. The five-story pagoda is definitely worth paying to visit. If you have the Osaka Amazing Pass, you can enter for free. It's really worth checking out.

Osaka Castle Park
Nationally designated special historical site, Osaka Castle Ruin, and the surrounding area were renovated into an urban park. 13 buildings of important cultural properties including Osaka Castle Main Tower, watchtowers and gates dot the vast 261-acre premises.
The scale of the castle is still there, but the main tower is much smaller now. These days, it's basically a park for locals.

Izumo Taisha
Izumo Taisha is one of the most revered, ancient shrines in Japan, along with Ise jingu Shrine. Its records go as far back as writings from the Kojiki, Japan’ oldest historical account compiled in 712. The deity enshrined here is Okuninushi no Okami, who is known as the deity of love and marriage.。
The omamori here are really expensive!

Nachi Waterfall
Kumano-Nachi Taisha is the main shrine of over 4000 Kumano Shrines dotting Japan. This waterfall stands within the holy area, The grandest fall in Japan is 133m-tall, 13m-wide at the mouth, where water begins to fall, and the plunge pool is 10m-deep, and pours over 1 ton/second of water through three wedges which merges as one fall, thus called “Three Stream Fall.”
In Shinto, everything is considered to have a spirit. The Hiro Shrine in front of the waterfall is dedicated specifically to the waterfall deity.
