6 divine check-in points in Osaka and Kyoto

1. Dotonbori (Osaka)

Many people say that if you have not been to Dôtnbori, you have not been to Osaka. This bustling commercial street is the most iconic image of Osaka's Minami area, dating from the Edo period to the present. Walking in Dotonbori at night, visitors seem to be immersed in countless shimmering and brilliant neon lights from the signs.

2. Shinsekai (Osaka)

This is a holy street corner that many Instagramers check in when coming to Osaka with the symbol of Tsutenkaku tower - a tower designed based on the inspiration of the Eiffel Tower and colorful signs. It is known that this street corner is located in the Shinsekai shopping district - famous not only in Osaka but throughout Japan.

3. Universal Japan (Osaka)

Perhaps there is no need to say too much about the grandeur of one of the most attractive and charming amusement parks on the planet, right? Don't think that only children like amusement parks because surely, everyone who comes here will be fascinated by the world of Harry Potter, Minions and dinosaurs in Jurassic Park!

4. Fushimi Inari Shrine (Kyoto)

Fushimi Inari, the full name is Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, is the main shrine dedicated to Inari - the Shinto god of rice. Here, you can see thousands of large and small shrines, including the bright orange torii gates that you often see through TV series or anime.

5. Ayashiyama Bamboo Forest (Kyoto)

If you've ever looked around to find expensive check-in places on Instagram when coming to Kyoto, you will surely come across the image of the Arashiyama bamboo forest. This is a tourist destination not to be missed when coming to Kyoto with millions of visitors every month.

6. Starbucks in the old house

Located in Kyoto's historic Ninenzaka district to the east, this starbucks store is designed to be "hidden" and blend in with the surrounding homes. The only point for you to know that this is a Starbucks store is thanks to the traditional blue Noren curtains bearing the black Starbucks logo very quietly. When entering Starbucks space at Nizenzaka, you will be amazed at the airy space and true Japanese nature.
