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.

Omi Shrine
The Omi Shrine is located on the site of the Omi Otsu no Miya Palace, which was the capital of Japan for five years from 667. The shrine is dedicated to Emperor Tenji, the 38th Emperor of Japan, who was involved in the Taika Reform as Naka no Oe no Oji Prince and moved the capital from Asuka in Nara to Otsu in Omi.
The various ancient time-measuring instruments are really interesting.

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.
