Castles, temple complexes, shrines, art, samurai swords, unique markets and a chance to mix with locals all away from the overcrowded tourist traps. It sounds impossible to find in Japan, right? It isn't. Amagasaki City, less than a 10 minute train ride from central Osaka has it all and it's almost UNKNOWN to foreign tourists. Walk with me through Amagasaki Castle to unique museums sporting local history, swords and armour, world coins, local art and the world's biggest collection of piggy banks. Then, lets check out the temple town of Teramachi with 11 temples/temple complexes where you can take beautiful pictures uninhibited by other travellers, we may even bump into a friendly monk or two. Finally, let's take a stroll up a market street frozen in the Showa period and even pop in for a cheap drink at one of the local standing bars. Want to see "real" Japan? This is it!
-Pick up at Hanshin Amagasaki Station (Osaka Umeda also possible). -Amagasaki Castle (entry into the keep optional). -Amagasaki City Historical Museum. -Piggy Bank Museum (cool free souvenir!). -World coin/weapon/art museum. -Teramachi (Temple town) and surrounding area. -Shotengai (shopping street). (Entry into the standing drink bars optional) -Drop off. There are plenty of hidden gems on the course too! All of my tours are fully customisable and hours/group sizes can be adjusted accordingly. *Please note that some attractions such as the piggy bank museum are pretty small, so that's why a smaller group size of a maximum of 5 is recommended. Larger groups may not be given entry to the standing drink bars. *There are also two Taishu Engeki (traditional theatres), though to see a performance would require advanced booking and small groups only.
