Osaka – last days

Osaka – last days
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Senko-ji Temple, known to lead you from the depths of Hell to the gates of Paradise! We answered questions on a machine to see if we would go to Paradise. Then we watched a show, but didn't understand any Japanese, and saw miniatures of everyday life in the early 1900s

Highlights: It was interesting, but a bit long. In the garden, it is possible to put your head in a big stone and hear the gurgling of Hell. The miniatures representing everyday life in the early 1900s were fascinating and remarkable! ✨
