Mindful meoweler tips

Higashi-osaka is famous for its takoyaki (octopus balls)! Be sure to try some from a local street vendor!

The sight of the takoyaki being made on the grill is as enjoyable as the eating!

The Hiraoka Shrine is a hidden gem and a great example of the Shinto religion.

Take a stroll through the lush forest on the shrine grounds and be sure to cleanse yourself at the purification fountain before entering the shrine.

Feeling adventurous? Hike to the top of Mt. Kongo and see beautiful views of Osaka.

The trail can be steep in places, but there is a cable car option for those who prefer a more relaxed ascent.
