Overview

Come with us to visit Mount Ikoma for a day. The culture, history and natural beauty of Japan will be there for your great pleasure!

We begin our visit to the Shinto Shrine Ishikiri Tsurugiya, a 2,700-year-old sacred site rich in history. Then we explore Ishikiri Sando, the busy shopping street popular with locals and celebrities.

We take public transport to the summit of Mount Ikoma. We visit Monzenmachi, a charming area leading to Hozanji Temple. We discover this ancient temple of the 12th century, dedicated to Ganesh.

We finish with Ikoma Skyland, an amusement park with breathtaking views of Osaka Bay and Nara’s bowl. These views are particularly magical at sunset.

After this day, you will learn more about the history of Japan. You will also have had plenty in your eyes with the landscapes and panoramic views throughout the visit. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
