It was slightly raining on my way to Osaka.

I arrived at Namba at 7:50AM and headed for the hotel to leave the carry case. To my lucky I could check in.

I was wondering where to go, but my friend became free earlier and we decided to see soon and I headed for Okamachi.

We went to the Harada Shrine and a Jewery shop which has a live tree inside and we went to cafe and had morning set. I helped him to open an account.

We said good bye and I went to the National Museum of Ethnology.

I was going to go to EXPO too.But I stayed there until 5 PM, and decided to eat dinner and come back to the hotel.

It was fine.

Today is a national holiday called shubun no hi (秋分の日), Autumn Equinox day when the day time and night time are equal.

I got up and wore kimono and checked out the hotel, left the carry case there and went to Osaka tenmangu (大阪天満宮) shrine, where Michizane Sugawara (菅原道真) is enshrined. 

Next I went to Horikoshi (堀越神社) shrine.

Third is the main event of today. I went to Tennoden (天王殿) to attend a tour to visit Shitennoji (四天王寺) temple to attend the event of nissokan or jissokan (日想観). 

This is the third time for me to attend the event, and I saw the beautiful sunset.

I met some friends too.

It was a nice holiday.
