Memory of Sumiyoshi-Taisha in Osaka

I was taking a picture of 'Taiko Bashi' bridge from on the nearest bridge at Sumiyoshi-taisha.

The honden is built in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri style and has been designated a national treasure on the grounds that it is the oldest example of this style of architecture.

Parts of most of buildings, including the bridge, were beautifully painted with orange-red color.

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.

I Go to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine

 

I went to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine as we visited Kansai area weeks ago.

I forget when I went to Osaka last time. Perhaps, it may be several decades ago.

I have little memory when I stayed in Osaka. 

My wife and I had dinner with my daughter and her friend at the night.

I Go to a Museum in Osaka

I went to "Life of Osakan Now and Before" Museum while we were staying in Osaka.

The location of the museum seemed to be in the very center of Osaka city: we got there by car. 

It displayed miniature shops, towns, people in Osaka in the past with narration in Osaka dialect. 

You can understand how Osakan lived their life in the past spending only about one hour visit.

I AM On A Trip To Kansai

 

I am now on a trip to Kansai Area.

I went to seaside park in Maishima Osaka Bay Area this morning and went to Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, Osaka history museum this afternoon.

I am enjoying sightseeing and delicious local foods.

Our trip continues for a week from now.
