Kiyomizu-dera temple & Osaka Castle

by eunice • 19 comments


Japan / Osaka ♡

This is another UNESCO World Heritage listed site in Japan – Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺, literally means “Pure Water Temple”), one of the oldest Buddhist temple in Kyoto. (Contributor: Kelly)

The flamingly beautiful autumn leaves at Kiyomizudera.

Osaka breaking news: A mysterious sighting of a humongous “Spider-crab” making its way up the building…

… and a Singapore tourist had devoured one of those jumbo crab legs!

The magnificent Osaka Castle is one of Japan’s most famous castle popularly visited by thousands during the cherry blossom bloom – hanami or “flower viewing”.

    the spider will only be displayed for temporary? or will they change to other decoration later?

    Those pictures of the trees are just amazing. What color you got there. I remember seeing that picture of that giant crab on a travel-food show I watch here. I have never had crab before I don’t think. Very nice photos.
