OSAKA - Sakai filled with historic shrines and temples | Japan Walking Tour | Japanese daily life

Today, let's take a walk in Sakai, a town with a long history. Spring has come and the cherry blossoms have begun to bloom🌸 The area that would later become known as Sakai has been inhabited since approximately 8,000 BC. During 1450 to 1600, Sakai developed into one of richest cities in Japan as a port for foreign trade. The cycad tree in the Myokokuji temple is over 1100 years old and is well known for its mysterious history. Oda Nobunaga, a major daimyō during the Sengoku era who tried to unite Japan in 1580, transplanted this cycad to Azuchi Castle in what is now Shiga prefecture. However, every night a strange voice was heard in Azuchi Castle saying "Take me back to Myokokuji". Sakai City is a good place, isn't it? ▼Today's tour ----starting point__34.5718795,135.4688143(Kanbukuro:sweets shop) ----end point______34.5812728,135.4811853(Myokoku-ji:Temple) ----Date___________March 2022🌸 ----Weather_______🌞(20℃/68℉) ▼More Japan trip videos🗾    / @japantours-4kwalk-473   If you like this video, please give me a big thumbs up!
