Tadao Ando Osaka Architecture with an Architect (opens in a new tab)

7 h – 8 h

Tadao Ando, one of Japan’s most internationally celebrated architects, is known for transforming simple materials such as concrete, light, and water into extraordinary architectural experiences. But what makes his buildings so distinctive, and how can we learn to see them through an architect’s eyes? Join an architect guide on a journey through Osaka to discover the ideas behind Ando’s work. Together, we’ll explore his distinctive use of concrete, light, geometry and nature, and consider why his seemingly simple spaces can evoke such powerful responses. Rather than merely looking at buildings, we’ll ask what they are trying to do for us. Why does a particular space make us pause? How can simplicity bring a sense of calm to a busy city? And what might architecture teach us about the way we want to live? By the end of the tour, you may find that you see not only Tadao Ando’s buildings differently, but the ordinary spaces of everyday life as well.

Yatsurugi Shrine Plus Two Temples Private Tour from Osaka (opens in a new tab)

4 h

The main aim is getting benefit. (Not sightseeing.) There are a lot of famous shrines and temples in Osaka. However, while some of these have attracted the attention of psychics and paranormal researchers, they are not listed in general guidebooks and remain unknown to the general public. To receive blessings from the gods through worship, you should visit not just the places that many tourists visit, but the temples and shrines recommended by psychics (mediums) and paranormal scientists. This time, I will introduce one shrine and two temples in Osaka City. Regarding the prayers (Norito) at the shrines and the sutras (Okyou) at the temples, I will take the time to read them aloud, allowing visitors to concentrate on their prayers. Spiritualists say Horakuji Temple is the strongest spiritual power temple in the Kansai region and some people had a mysterious and unbelievable experience at the Yaturugi Shrine. The next persons get benefit or have a wonderful experience may be you.
