The craft museum brings together Buddhist altars, lanterns, stone lanterns, handmade Japanese washi paper, and more. Definitely worth a visit!

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Yabusame Ritual
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu's Annual Grand Festival is held in all its grandeur across three days, from September 14th to 16th each year. On the final day, the 16th, the "Yabusame Ritual" is known especially to draw a crowd from all around.
The Yabusame Ritual is a world-famous traditional event! Archers dressed as samurai shoot arrows while riding galloping horses, aiming to hit three targets in the arena. This horseback archery competition was popular among samurai from the Heian to Kamakura periods. You definitely have to experience it—it's such a unique tradition!

Nagasaki Kunchi Festival
Originating in 1634, the Nagasaki Kunchi Festival is the autumn grand festival of Nagasaki's patron deity at Suwa Shrine. Spanning three days from October 7th to 9th annually, the entire city of Nagasaki immerses itself in festive fervor. The festival's origins are traced back to two courtesans who dedicated the traditional song and dance "Komee" at the Suwa Shrine, and dance offerings continue to this day. The festival is known for its unique and dynamic dedication dances.
The Kunchi Festival is an energetic and lively event, officially recognized as an important intangible folk culture in Japan. The performances are so much fun, and you can even watch the 'Niwa-mi' parade, which is said to bring good luck!

Grill maruyoshi
A Western-style restaurant located at "Via Abeno Walk," which is adjacent to the "Abeno Q's Mall" shopping center right in front of Tennoji Station. Having been in business for over 70 years, the restaurant has always embraced the motto "Unchanging flavor and heartfelt service." It continues to serve elaborately prepared Western dishes.
There's always a long line every time I come here, but it's totally worth the wait. I really love their cabbage rolls—the juicy ground meat inside makes me so happy!
