Continuing my posts on which places to visit in Osaka, I'd recommend the Tennoji area southeast of the city.
This district of Osaka is home to:
- an eponymous park and it Japanese garden named Keitaku-en
- several Buddhist temples, the main one is called Shitennoji and was built during the sixth century, it is named after the four gods of heaven it worships
- a zoo and the Municipal Museum of Art
Not that far away from Tennoji, is the typical area of Shinsekai.
