Namba Yasaka Shrine is a small shrine in a residential area. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see the huge lion's mouth—it's even bigger and more impressive than I expected! This shrine is said to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune!

Hokokuji Temple
A temple in Kamakura awarded three stars by the “Michelin Green Guide Japan,” a travel guide for international visitors to Japan. In 1334, the eminent Zen monk Tengan Eko built a hermitage here to practice Zen, and the Ashikaga and Uesugi clans were involved in establishing the temple.
The architecture really has that Japanese Zen vibe. The peaceful and quiet environment is perfect for a slow stroll.

Vegan Plant-based Pucchin Pudding
"Plant-based Pucchin Purin" is part of the "Pucchin Purin" series, which has long been loved since first being sold in 1972. The pudding is made entirely with plant-based ingredients and does not contain any animal products.
You can buy this at convenience stores everywhere, and it's really tasty!

Umeda Sky Building and Kuchu Teien Observatory
Completed in 1993, this enormous 40-story skyscraper consists of two towers connected at the top. It was selected in the UK as one of the “Top 20 Buildings in the World” and described as a “thrilling skyscraper.” Its striking architectural design is another reason for its popularity. The departure gate on the third floor leads to an elevator that takes visitors directly to the 35th floor.
We took the elevator straight up to the 40th-floor observatory. The view from up there is stunning! After that, we went down to the 39th floor, where there are lots of souvenirs to buy and a café to relax in. Visiting here was totally worth it!
