The main aim is getting benefit. (Not sightseeing.) There are a lot of famous shrines and temples in Osaka. However, while some of these have attracted the attention of psychics and paranormal researchers, they are not listed in general guidebooks and remain unknown to the general public. To receive blessings from the gods through worship, you should visit not just the places that many tourists visit, but the temples and shrines recommended by psychics (mediums) and paranormal scientists. This time, I will introduce one shrine and two temples in Osaka City. Regarding the prayers (Norito) at the shrines and the sutras (Okyou) at the temples, I will take the time to read them aloud, allowing visitors to concentrate on their prayers. Spiritualists say Horakuji Temple is the strongest spiritual power temple in the Kansai region and some people had a mysterious and unbelievable experience at the Yaturugi Shrine. The next persons get benefit or have a wonderful experience may be you.

What are people saying about Osaka

Hiroshima & Miyajima Tour From Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Fukuoka

SCOTT_B, Nov 2026

Great tour from beginning to end.

I highly recommend the Hiroshima & Miyajima tour it was one of the highlights of our visit to beautiful Japan.. We were met at the Osaka Shinkansen (Bullet Train) station by the tour guide who made sure we all got to the correct platform. A 120 minutes later after seeing the Japan country side zip by at over 180 miles and hour we arrived at Hiroshima Station and met by our guide for the day Azusa. Azusa was one of the best tour guides we have ever had, so informative about what we are seeing and the history behind how Hiroshima was the chosen for the bombing. During our travels between stops she gave us insight of what it's like living in Japan and had the most amazing sense of humor that had us all laughing hysterically. A great lunch of Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki is provided before you take the ferry over to Miyajima Island to see the the famous torii gate which appears to be floating during high tide. You an also visit the nearby shrine, shop and eat in the small village and see the many Sika deer which call Miyajima home before you go back to the train station for the relaxing Shinkansen back to Osaka.

From Kyoto / Osaka: Kyoto Must-see Spots & Nara Park One Day Tour

Long but fun day with...

Long but fun day with Joy! We had a large group which was a little overwhelming but everyone was great! My seatmate and I were both solo travelers and had a fun time chatting during the tour. We had a nice little lunch ordering from a few vendors and enjoying the sun. Joy was very knowledgeable and explained things well. The sites were crowded (as expected) but still gorgeous and worth seeing! Got a unique souvenir while feeding the deer in Nara 😅 The pace was good but I feel like we could have spent a little less time in Nara as we really only fed the deer there. Big thanks to our bus driver as well! He navigated everything smoothly and was very patient. Thanks to Joy for a wonderful day!

I would highly recommend the this tour, 4 hours was the perfect amount of time for us and set us up for our following days in Osaka.

Osaka food tour

Our guide Niko was a joy!!! Just delightful. At the end of our tour he walked each one of us to either the station or to get a taxi and made sure we all got on our way safely. I wasn’t very happy with the choice of food however. Would have preferred a little higher standard even if I’d have to pay more.

Fabulous 8 hour private tour

Riku was wonderful. He picked us up from the train station and then began our private tour. It was a rainy day but still spectacular. We saw the Golden Temple, Bamboo Gardens from a rickshaw, enjoyed a delicious ramen lunch and drove to Nara to see Todai-ji and the angelic wild deer. We learned so much about these sites and really enjoyed Riku’s knowledge and company. I highly recommend!

Fantastic tour - great addition to our time in Osaka!

This tour was outstanding! The group was small so ideal for conversing with our amazing guide, Yukina, a local who is fluent in English and so knowledgeable about the food and history of Osaka. We sampled food and drink at five different places, none of which we’d ever find on our own. Friends of ours took this tour two years ago and recommended it.

Nara was a great place to experience. The deer were fun to feed but beware they can be a bit wild especially the big males! The shrine and temples were amazing too and the massive Buddha statue was outstanding to see. Our guide Ayana was friendly and knowledgeable too!

Kyoto Day Tour: Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Kinkaku-ji & Kiyomizu

Laura_N, Oct 2026

A fabulous day in Kyoto!

We had the absolute best guide - Keiran! Yes, the pick up was easy, the bus driver was careful, the bus was comfortable, and the sights were perfect in capturing Kyoto in a day. BUT what made the experience so extraordinary was our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, provided excellent recommendations on food and omiyage, and went out of his way to lend his expertise on our travels. So blessed to have him lead our special day in a very special city!
