A snow globe is a transparent container like a bottle that contains an object or a miniature city, and when turned upside down, the small beads, glitter, sequins, and powder inside flutter down like snow. It is said that they were originally used as paperweights, but now they are widely used as interior decorations and room ornaments. Staring at one when you're tired seems to have a soothing effect.
Have you ever heard of the word "rock climbing"? I think that many of the people looking at this page are interested in rock climbing. The literal translation of "rock climbing" is "rock climbing," which is exactly what it sounds like, but "free climbing" and "bouldering" are both types of rock climbing.
First, let's talk about the difference between "climbing" and "bouldering". First of all, climbing can be broadly divided into "sport climbing", which competes in speed and the number of walls climbed, "free climbing", which involves grabbing holds and climbing with your own strength without using any equipment, and "lead climbing", which is popular among advanced climbers who wear a harness and climb while setting a lead. Bouldering is a type of climbing, and it mainly involves free climbing, where you climb a relatively low wall, about 5m high, with your own body. Although skills and techniques are required, bouldering is a simple sport where you climb a wall with just your body, so the only equipment you need is chalk and shoes. As a result, it has become a familiar sport that anyone can challenge. In the 2020 global sporting events, "sport climbing", which is a combination of "bouldering", "lead", and "speed", has become an official event, so please try it yourself before watching the event.
Dotonbori Shopping Street is a tourist attraction that represents Osaka Minami. It is a bustling shopping street with the Shochikuza Theater, Kani Douraku, and Glico signs. The most attractive thing about it is the food! There are many restaurants of various genres lined up on the north side of Dotonbori Street, and it is bustling all year round. It is the perfect place to enjoy Osaka gourmet food such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki in one go. In recent years, the "Tonbori River Cruise" where you can enjoy the cityscape of Dotonbori, the city of water, on the river surface has also become popular with tourists. There are also plenty of other spots to enjoy, such as comedy shows and photo spots! It is easily accessible from Osaka Namba Station & Namba Station on each line, including the Midosuji Line and Yotsubashi Line, and Nihonbashi Station. Here we will introduce the attractive tourist spots of Dotonbori in a ranking format.
Pottery experience and pottery classes are overwhelmingly popular as a "craft experience leisure" in Japan. Last time, we introduced "Tokyo Pottery Experience: Electric wheel, hand-building, coloring, painting, etc. ... A guide to pottery studios and classes to enjoy in Tokyo" which focused on classes and studios in Tokyo and received many reservations and responses. This time, we will feature the second largest city, "Osaka area pottery experience and classes" which has a wide lineup of businesses and plans, and approach the overview and charm of the experience. The various work processes using traditional techniques such as electric wheel, hand-building, coloring, and painting are handed down from ancient times, and the time until the firing and completion is also an enjoyable "experience". It is also attractive that you can create a full-fledged work while receiving guidance from a craftsman, so it is perfect for everyday use as well as a gift for a loved one. This time, we will thoroughly introduce the basic knowledge and charm of pottery experience, as well as the popular plan ranking and shop information that you can book around Osaka.
Located in the center of Osaka, the area around Tennoji Station is a popular tourist destination with plenty of sightseeing spots such as Tennoji Zoo and Shitennoji Temple, as well as plenty of gourmet restaurants. The area around JR Tennoji Station on the Tanimachi Subway Line and Kintetsu Abenobashi Station is also known as Abeno, and is visited by many tourists. It is a downtown area in Osaka city that is convenient for shopping, second only to Kita and Minami, and has been attracting attention with the opening of the 12-story building "Tennoji Mio" directly connected to the station, as well as the recent large-scale commercial facility "Abeno Harukas." At the same time, you can also enjoy historical sites from ancient times to modern times. Here we will introduce recommended and popular spots for sightseeing around Tennoji, which is full of attractions and charm, in a ranked format.

This is a bouldering experience plan in Tennoji-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! The nearest station is Tsuruhashi Station on both Kintetsu and JR. It is about 10 minutes by train from Umeda or Namba, so it is an area with good access. If you come by car, you can use the paid parking lot in front of the store. I have never had a chance to do bouldering before, but have you ever tried it? I don't have the stamina, and I thought it looked difficult, so I avoided it. Here at MAHOROBA FOREST, the staff will teach beginners the basics, and they also have courses for beginners. That way, you can feel safe, and it's okay to go with other bouldering beginners. It's also nice that both men and women can enjoy it together. Looking at the photos, even children are trying their best to try it!
This is a silver accessory making experience in Higashisumiyoshi-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! Higashisumiyoshi-ku is located southeast of Tennoji. You can get there by subway, Kintetsu, or JR, but I recommend the nearest Kintetsu Harinakano Station. It takes just over 30 minutes from Umeda or Osaka Station. At this experience studio, Gallery Naka/Nagai Park Classroom, you can make your favorite ring, pendant, or brooch. It's amazing, you can make your own accessories for everyday use! And it's pure silver. I don't wear silver much, but I looked at some photos to see what kind of design I could make, and it looks like it would be easy for both men and women to wear. It also says "one-of-a-kind pair rings in the world." This is not only a commemorative gift for lovers or couples, but also for wedding rings... it's wonderful! By the way, my friend went to a ring making class to propose to his girlfriend with a handmade ring, and the studio was just like this. It's nice to receive something handmade, whether it's a ring or anything else, that's full of feelings.
This is a sandblasting experience plan in Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! Do you know what sandblasting is? It's actually one of the glass crafts that Caolin is good at. Sand means sand, and blast means blast or gust of wind, and it is a method of making patterns by using sand and wind to make fine scratches on glass or mirrors. A special machine called a sandblaster is used to blow this wind and create the frosted glass patterns. "Sandblaster? I have one at home!" I think it's very rare for a household to say that, so it's essential to take advantage of a workshop like this.
Public road karting in Namba, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! This is it!! When I've seen them around town before, I've always wondered if they were karting enthusiasts or people from a gaming club. It was an activity. I was so ignorant! I want to live a quiet life, but when I look at the photos, I get a strong party animal (huh? Is that an obsolete term?) vibe, and I feel embarrassed to be attracting attention from people in the city, but if it's a case of "forgetting your shame on the road," then it's okay...I guess. lol
