Approximately 30 minutes by train from Osaka city. We will introduce viewing spots that can be seen from Higashi-Osaka, which is close to the city center of Osaka. In addition to the observation lobby on the 22nd floor of Higashiosaka City Hall, which was awarded the Japan Night View Heritage Award, there are also other great attractions such as the View Terrace, which was the venue for the Sunset Summit, and the Ikoma Sanjo Amusement Park, which was selected for the Cool Japan Award. If you change the place you look at it and the people you watch it with, the way you enjoy it will also change. Why not take a look at the wonderful scenery of Osaka, see the people's activities, and feel the breath of the city?

Higashiosaka View Spot Leaflet

Higashiosaka City Hall Observation Lobby

The observation lobby on the 22nd floor of Higashiosaka City Hall is one of the few spots in Japan where you can overlook an expressway junction. The buildings in central Osaka that appear in the evening twilight are impressive. The night view is so futuristic that it has been selected as one of Japan's night view heritage sites . It is a spot where you can feel the breath of the city from the trails of cars passing through Higashiosaka Junction.

Higashiosaka Sky Terrace│Hotel Seiryu

Higashiosaka Sky Terrace, a view terrace completed at the tourist inn Hotel Seiryu , is a scenic spot overlooking the Osaka plains from the middle of Mt. Ikoma. You can enjoy the diorama-like scenery while watching the Kintetsu train (Kintetsu Nara Line) that connects life in Osaka and Nara. Enjoy a relaxing time with your family over lunch or a barbecue on the terrace. There is also a hot spring to visit, making it a spot where you can enjoy the feeling of a day trip.

Hanazono Central Park│Higashiosaka City Hanazono Rugby Stadium

Higashiosaka City's landmark Hanazono Central Park is also a popular sunset photo spot. The silhouette of Higashiosaka City Hanazono Rugby Stadium , a sacred place floating in the sunset, is impressive. The sky you look up at after watching a rugby match is so beautiful that it expresses the loneliness of victory and defeat, as well as new hope.

Ojoin Rokumanji Temple

Ojoin Rokumanji Temple is a spot for sunset views from the precincts at the western foot of Mt. Ikoma. I feel like I want to overlap the scenes and thoughts of the Heian period. Since the Heian period, Shitennoji Temple in Osaka has been famous as a place for Nissokan, a place where people pray for paradise in the light of the sun setting over Yuhi Hill.
