I visited the Osamu Tezuka Museum. I absolutely love Osamu Tezuka’s manga and anime, so I was very excited to visit. The museum is not very large, but there is a manga library, a place to watch special anime, and many other interesting exhibits. They even have English editions of Tezuka’s manga. It was a wonderful place filled with his works, and I would love to visit again.
Netsuke are small Japanese ornaments that were traditionally attached to items like tobacco pouches or small bags, which were hung from a kimono sash. They were both practical and decorative.
Rakugo is one of Japan’s traditional performing arts. It is a form of storytelling, with some tales being passed down through generations. The stories are mostly humorous, but they can sometimes be sentimental.
The performer, dressed in a kimono, tells the story while seated on a cushion.
If you’re a fan of the anime Gundam, you should definitely visit ‘BAR A ZNABLE’ in the Kyobashi area. Even if you’re not a fan of anime, I would still like to recommend here as a nice cozy bar in Osaka.
It is a little far from the center of Nara city, but there are fewer people and very quiet.
This shrine is surrounded by thick forest at the base of Mount Miwa, the exact age of the shrine is unknown, but we believe it is one of the oldest shrine in Japan.
