2025 Shimamoto Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

"Minase Shrine" I wanted to go somewhere where I could feel the summer, so I went to Minase Shrine, which is famous for its wind chimes that make you feel cool! When I passed through the torii gate, I was greeted by wind chimes made by children who go to a nursery school near the shrine. The wind chimes with their unique personalities were very cute☺️☺️ There were also many wind chimes and windmills in the shrine grounds, and when the wind blew, the sound was incredibly beautiful🎐✨ It seems that there is also a light-up event held at night for a limited time, so next time I would like to visit at night! ! 🚃About 20 minutes walk from Hankyu Oyamazaki Station/Minase Station 🫖There is a nice cafe near Oyamazaki Station, so I visited there as well♡ #Osaka #Japan #Shrine #Summer #Weekend Trip #Solo Trip #100 Travel Styles

#Osaka Attractions Mizunase-no-Taki is a green pure land surrounded by mountains and rivers. Snow-white waterfalls cascade down from the top of the mountain, swirling and flowing among the emerald green forests, like a long white silk ribbon floating down from a height. It is surrounded by lush green primeval forests, and the air is filled with a fresh, natural and poetic atmosphere. 🏞️⛲️ A moss-covered path winds its way down to the depths of the waterfall. On both sides of the path stand rows of tall, upright primitive trees. Each sturdy tree trunk is covered with winding textures, as if telling of nature's eternal vitality. 🌳🌲 #eternallife #surroundedbygreen The snow-white waterfall water falls straight down from the towering cliffs, splits into two streams after passing a protruding rock halfway, and finally converges into a crystal clear stream at the bottom of the valley. The sound of water echoes through the forest, as if the most primitive and pure sound of nature is playing here. 💧🌉#majesticwaterfall #soundsofnature

●Name Shiio Shrine ●Access 5-1049 Yamazaki, Shimamoto-cho, Mishima-gun, Osaka 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points After passing through the action inside the Suntory distillery factory, you will see the entrance to Shiio Shrine The public road inside the factory is the approach to the shrine Because it is a whiskey distillery, the water is clean, so there were sawa crabs crossing the road to the shrine The atmosphere is very quiet, and you can feel that this is a shrine that has been enshrined in the area for a long time There are whiskey barrels stored inside the shrine, so be sure to take a look inside It would be a waste to just visit the whiskey factory and go home #Osaka Tourism
