The stone marks Tenjin-zaka, one of several historical streets in the area

Though a brief moment I imagined myself back in Kyoto

The juxtaposition of old and new makes this particular road and interesting place to walk

Located seemingly to the rear of a house is a small temple and cemetery

A small temple offers incredible views over the city

These ornate traditional bells still ring out over the city

All the historical streets run parallel to each other so finding them in no issues so you can enjoy your walk

When in Tennoji or if you are staying at Hotel La Aroma then chances are you’ll plan a visit to many of the known attractions in the area. Tennoji is in fact full of little known treasures so wondering from the common sights is something I highly recommend. If you have an interest in history and like escaping crowded areas from time to time then there is one place that is a must visit. Uemachi Daichi is situated in the midst of a quiet suburbia and hosts many of the cities historical sights. From the St. Maria Cathedral to the remains of Kumano road the area is filled with relics of the past. Most of the sights are spread out a little from each other but this makes for an interesting stroll, just 20 minutes or so walk from Nanba or Tennoji in downtown Osaka.
