Manabi no Mori Promenade
10-4 Nakahibaricho, Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture
Parking: 153 spaces (free for up to 3 hours)
A tree-lined path of ginkgo and metasequoia stretches for about 300 meters. In autumn, the ginkgo row turns yellow, offering beautiful fall foliage. From mid-December to early February, about 200,000 LED bulbs light up in an illumination display.
These are grandfathers and grandmothers collecting ginkgo nuts.
You may pick up ginkgo nuts and take them home (River Park Division, which manages Manabi no Mori at Kakamigahara City Hall).
There’s no problem if individuals take them home for personal use—commercial use is not allowed.
However, as for taste and quality, well… it’s hard to say— they might not be very tasty.
At this time of year, many ginkgo nuts fall onto the sidewalks,
and stepping on them causes a strong unpleasant smell.
So they said they actually appreciate people picking them up—
that was the general nuance of what they mentioned.

Located in the Sanjo-dori shopping street, the last shrine of Yasaka Shrine.
It's a small shrine that you might miss, but it seems to be a History Shrine that is said to be the birthplace of the Gion Festival...
In addition, the shuin stamps of the inn are awarded at the shuin stamps of Yasaka Shrine.
It's a pity that it's a little difficult 😂😂😂 from prayer to receiving the shuin stamps...

The former palace Nijo Castle is also torikyu ni jojo."
Kyoto, Kyoto-shi, Nakagyo-ku, Nijo-dori, Horikawa, Nishiiri, Nijojo-cho, 541
Nijo Castle is famous for the Ninomaru, which Tokugawa Yoshiyoshi declared the return of the Great Government, but although it was reduced in scale by Ieyasu's order, the site is vast. If you take a walk in the large garden, you can fully enjoy the cherry blossoms in Spring and the Autumn leaves in autumn. Why don't you go out?

EXPO'70 Pavilion
Expo Commemorative Park (former site of the 1970 Osaka World Expo)
10-10 Senri Expo Park, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture
The exhibition hall of the 70th World Expo in the Expo Commemorative Park.
This is an exhibition of works from the 1970 Osaka Expo. The interior of the exhibition, which is based entirely on red, is reminiscent of Taro Okamoto. There were exhibits from around the world that would have been held at the Expo, but the one that stuck with me was one of Taro Okamoto's works of art in the photo.
And of course, the Tower of the Sun.
