#OsakaItinerary
In the morning, I arrived at the Tempozan Giant Ferris Wheel in Osaka. Riding this once world’s tallest Ferris wheel, I overlooked the entire city and Osaka Bay. As it slowly ascended, the bustling city and the tranquil harbor came into view simultaneously. The distant Akashi Kaikyō Bridge appeared faintly, evoking a sense of longing. After getting off the Ferris wheel, I leisurely strolled along the harbor, feeling the fresh sea breeze. In the afternoon, I took the train to Kobe and visited the Rokko Mountain Herb Garden. Nestled in the mountains, this herb garden grows over 200 kinds of herbs and flowers, filling the air with a fresh herbal fragrance. I took the cable car to the summit, overlooking Kobe city and the vast sea, instantly broadening my mind. Walking among the flower fields, lavender, rosemary, thyme, and other plants intertwined to create a colorful scene, as if stepping into a dreamy painting. As the sun set, the entire valley was bathed in golden light, leaving the most beautiful memory of this journey.
