The various ancient time-measuring instruments are really interesting.

Sanzen-in Temple
When Dengyo Daishi established Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, he set up his hut in Toto Minamidani, which is believed to be the beginning of Sanzen-in, one of the three Monzeki temples in Tendai Sect. In Monzeki temple, a member of the imperial family was the priest.
The whole garden is covered in lush green moss, which really lifts your spirits and makes you feel refreshed.

Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum
Built in November 2001 in a residential area of Higashi-Osaka City, adjacent to Shiba Ryotaro's actual residence, the building was designed by Tadao Ando and consists of a single concrete structure.
The most eye-catching thing inside the memorial is the three-story bookshelf. It's so relaxing to sit there, sip coffee, and quietly enjoy the 'golden house' within the books.

Uzu-no-Michi Walkway
Uzu no Michi is a 450-meter walkway above the sea, directly beneath the Onaruto Bridge. From a height of 45 meters above the sea, peer through glass floors to see the whirling tides of the Naruto Channel, one of the three fastest whirlpools in the world. In the spring and fall, the whirling tides of Naruto can reach a maximum diameter of 20 meters, said to be the world’s largest!
Even though I didn't catch the tides at the right time, looking down from above was already super impressive.
