At Rokko Garden Terrace, the average temperature up in the mountains is about 10°C, so the weather is cool and comfortable. The scenery is beautiful, making it a perfect spot to relax.

Daisen Park
Sakai City's urban park is adjacent to the Nintoku-tennō-ryō tumulus (Daisen tumulus), which has been designated a World Heritage Site. The vast park of 380,000 m2 is filled with greenery and seasonal flowers and is dotted with large and small tumulus, including the Osamezuka tumulus and the Magodayuyama tumulus.
Daisen Park isn't actually that big—you can walk around it in about 30 minutes. The Japanese garden here is beautiful, and it's even more stunning during the fall foliage season. Definitely worth a visit.

Sunpiazza Aquarium
This urban aquarium is adjacent to the large shopping center "Sunpiazza" and close to JR and subway stations. Although the facility is compact, the exhibits are spectacular, with 10,000 living creatures of about 200 species being kept in an ingeniously designed exhibition space.
Sunpiazza Aquarium is so much fun! They have daily fish acrobat shows, and on Sundays and holidays, you can even watch the feeding shows. You can also touch crabs and starfish in the touch pool. I really enjoyed it!

Zenrin-ji (Eikando)
Known as Eikando, this is the head temple of Jodo Sect’s Seizan-Zenrinji School. It was opened in 853 as a practice place of Shingon faith by Reverend Kukai’s disciple, Shinjo. After the 7th-generation Eikan entered the temple in 1072, it has been gradually turned into a place for Jodo chanting practice.
Eikando is my absolute favorite! The best time to see the autumn leaves is around late November. Honestly, if you haven't been to Eikando, it's like you haven't truly seen Kyoto's most beautiful fall foliage!
