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

This hidden gem, even hard to find on Google Maps, is actually a ninja training ground passed down from the Edo period! At the 'Hamono DOKORO' nestled in the townhouses district, we donned miniature ninja outfits and learned the 'Soy Sauce Barrel Stealth Technique' from the eighth-generation master. The giant wooden barrels in the brewing area serve as natural obstacle courses. The most thrilling part is the 'Shuriken Math Class,' where kids have to calculate wind angles to accurately hit the rice dumpling targets with throwing stars. Successful participants can exchange for hidden knife-shaped ice cream. At dusk, the entire street transforms into a light and shadow maze. Guided by the master's secret signals, participants search for glowing miso jars. The puzzle-solving champion who completes the mission gets to forge a mini knife keychain by hand!

The "Hamadera Park Pool" in Sakai City is a pool located in Hamadera Park, which has been selected as one of the 100 most famous pine trees in Japan. There is a 100m long giant slide that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, and a shallow whale slide for small children, so you can enjoy it all day long. This season has already ended, but it is a popular theme park-like pool facility every summer. ୨୧――――――――――――――――――୨୧ information Facility name📍Hamadera Park Pool Address📍Hamadera Park-cho, Nishi-ku, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture Access📍 ・Right next to "Hamadera Park" Station on the Nankai Main Line ・Right next to "Hamadera Ekimae" Station on the Hankai Electric Railway Hankai Line Parking📍Paid There are parking lots 1 to 5.

#Osaka Attractions Fayun Temple made me feel an incomparable tranquility and harmony. As soon as I stepped into the temple, the fresh air and the greenery all around made me relax instantly, as if I had entered another world. 🌿✨ The architectural style of the Zen temple is simple and elegant, with wooden structures and delicate gardening designs complementing each other. Walking in the courtyard, you can hear the singing of birds, which makes people feel happy. 🐦🌼 Sitting quietly in the Zen hall and feeling the inner peace and tranquility, this kind of time allows me to escape from the busy life and find myself again. 🧘♀️🌸

I suddenly wanted to eat thin udon! And I found this restaurant. The interior and exterior of the restaurant are decorated with plenty of warm wood, creating a relaxing atmosphere. When I opened the door, the smell of delicious broth wafted in. The Anjuan udon I ordered was a perfect match with the generous toppings and delicious broth, making it a truly delicious seasoning. The deep-fried chicken bukkake udon was also a great combination of well-seasoned and hearty deep-fried chicken, and the refreshing squeeze of lemon was a great combination! If you're not sure what to do for lunch in Sakai, be sure to try it!

1. It's very close to Sakai Station on the Nankai line in Osaka. It was easy enough to find even for people who are bad at remembering roads. 2. It's easy to get to anywhere in Osaka, including Osaka city, Kansai Airport, and Itami Airport, and the surrounding area is quiet. 3. The front desk was spacious. The customer service was average. 4. The guest room looked old just from the photos, but it was neat and well-made and quite spacious for one person. The view was great and there was a Nespresso coffee machine in the room, so it was great to drink coffee while looking at the beautiful view. #SakaiCity #HotelAgoraRegencySakai

Many people choose to visit parks with few people during the autumn foliage season, don't they? ? This time, I went to a park that is just a few minutes' drive from the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2019. 🚗💨 It was late November, so the foliage was magnificent, and if you go before the sun goes down, the sunset is also beautiful and mesmerizing. 🌿🍂🍁 I discovered a new spot for autumn foliage! There aren't that many people, so I want to go every year. This park is also famous for its irises, and I heard that many people come from far away to see them during the peak season. ⛲️ Best time to see irises: late May to early June (may change depending on the weather, etc.) From the official website of Shirasagi Park #Osaka sightseeing #Shirasagi #Park #Autumn leaves #Park with beautiful sunsets

I went to "Machi no Minato Maguro Park" in Sakai City, Osaka! This is a hands-on fish park that the whole family can enjoy, where tuna is the main attraction😊 In the spacious store, there are fresh fish delivered directly from the source, sushi, prepared foods, and a souvenir corner. They also have a tuna cutting show, which was very popular with children! (The tuna cutting show is irregular) The food court had a variety of menus, mainly tuna dishes. You can also eat the products you bought in the store at the food court✨ I recommend it because the bluefin tuna, fatty tuna, etc. are delicious and reasonably priced😊 If you like fish, please go.

#Japan Attractions I wanted to go to Osaka to eat Eggs'n things again, but before leaving I found that the Shinsaibashi store has closed 🥹 itself has given up, but to Lalaport Sakai shopping, unexpectedly found a new branch here, immediately very happy, even after lunch must immediately eat again 😆 immediately rushed in. Eggs 'n Things, a famous breakfast restaurant from Hawaii, is famous for its ultra-high cream for muffins. Cream lovers must try it. Their cream is not heavy at all, very light, and full of milky flavor, very tasty🤤 The appearance is also very beautiful and eye-catching. Of course, there is no shortage of Eggs Benedicts, which is complete enough, and the side dish of potatoes is not to be neglected. The decoration of the store is full of Hawaiian style, full of green plants, water skis, etc., very holiday feeling, and very spacious, very comfortable to sit, if you go to Lalaport Sakai, remember to try it 💕 100% recommended! #cafe #foodie #overseas #travel

#Japan Attractions Whenever the cherry blossom season comes, Japan will inevitably become the brightest star in the spotlight of global travelers. During the cherry blossom season every year, Japan welcomes cherry blossom-viewing tourists from all over the world to feel the breath of spring in Japan! When it comes to spring flower and cherry blossom viewing, Osaka Prefecture is definitely one of the most popular cities. A large number of tourists pour into Kansai International Airport and then rush to various famous towns, such as Kyoto, Arashiyama, Nara, etc.; if you want to avoid the crowds and feel the atmosphere of spring flowers in the metropolis and second-tier cities, Sakai City in the southern part of Osaka Prefecture is one of the best choices! Sakai City is divided into several small areas. If you want a more convenient area, you can consider Hounan Town. The living and tourism facilities near Fengnan Town are relatively simple for tourists who want to take a non-mainstream in-depth tour for the first time. This small town is about 25km away from the center of Osaka, and it only takes 40 minutes to get to the center of Osaka by subway. There are large shopping malls and cinemas in the town, as well as leisure and sports facilities such as golf courses. There are also some local specialty shops and small shrines that can add a touch of slow-paced pace to your busy thoughts and give your body, mind and soul a chance to breathe.

#Japan Attractions Lalaport Sakai, a large shopping mall located in Osaka, has been very popular since its opening in November last year. There are several large brand shops and a huge food court🍽️ And this time the focus of my visit is Moff located on 3/F Animal Cafe😍 There are more than 40 animals in the store, such as dragon cat / rabbit / hamster / tree dog / owl / chicken, etc., and my favorite capybara ah 🦫 I can observe super close, and Interact with small animals, for example, you can hold the chicken with both hands, and you can let the parrot climb on your arm, and you can feed the capybara 🤭 Very cute. The environment is spacious and clean, definitely a great place for parents and children, and great for couples together. I started from Shinsaibashi, the drive is about 1 hour 🫶🏻 #familygoodplaces #overseastravel #travel #ossaka #travel

#Japan Attractions Daisen Park, the central park of Sakai City, is a recommended tourist spot. Generally speaking, when many people hear the word "park", they think of the stereotype of taking a walk and enjoying the scenery. Daxian Park is actually a comprehensive leisure park. In addition to the Japanese garden, the park also has a central library, museum, cafe, souvenir shop, mausoleum, etc. It is a park that you can spend a whole day in and still feel unsatisfied! As you enter the park, you'll see the towering Sakai Peace Tower. The tower gives you a feeling of standing firm and unwavering, which inspires awe. The spring cherry blossom buds are eagerly blooming one after another, and the whole park is filled with the breath of spring!

#Japan Attractions Sakai City is one of the major cities in southern Osaka and can be said to be a satellite city of Osaka Prefecture. Located near the glittering city of Osaka, Sakai is undoubtedly a low-key city. This city can also be considered an ancient town. The town is home to the world's largest mausoleum - the Emperor Nintoku's Mausoleum, which is one of the World Heritage Sites. In addition, don't miss Daisen Park next to the mausoleum. The Peace Pagoda, Sakai City Museum, Central Library, and Japanese Garden in Daisen Park are also must-see attractions when visiting Sakai City. It’s the end of March and the cherry blossom season is about to arrive. Daisen Park is full of cherry blossom trees. In the warm afternoon sunshine, find a fully blossomed cherry tree and take a rest, have a picnic, relax, or just daydream under the tree. It’s a good time!
