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.

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.
