Yesterday, June 18, was an absolutely gorgeous day, so my host mother and I decided to go for a long walk to a famous shrine in the district.
It took us about 40 minutes to get to the shrine on foot, but we did make some stops at smaller shrines along the way. We did get lost, but it's very easy to get lost in the suburbs around Osaka. The streets and alleyways are set up in a "spider-web" layout instead of the grid-pattern that is usually used in the United States. Thankfully, a fellow pedestrian was kind enough to give us directions to the shrine.
