Have you ever seen the autumn leaves in Japan?

You can view the red leaves in the garden space from inside your room at Konjaku-So Tsuruhashi. Let us show you how it looks like in this season.

Entering through the front door, you will find a tatami room and garden space to fully enjoy the Japanese atmosphere.

Reddish maple leaves are beautifully reflected on the black table.

Viewing the garden leaves is another way to have a good bath time.

Every year, when the leaves change their color, I think to myself, “I surely chose autumn-like clothes, but it’s unexpectedly cold!” Having this feeling is one of the moments I truly appreciate the beauty of nature in Japan, a country with its distinct four seasons.

But I can’t help but notice that the pleasant and comfortable weather seems to be getting shorter and shorter these days. Even this year in Osaka, we had only a few days of lovely refreshing weather. It quickly felt as if winter was in the air.

In this season, when you feel a bit chilly, we invite you to have a relaxing time with the beautiful colored leaves while warming yourself in the bathtub at Konjaku-So.

I did have the feeling a while ago, so I called my sister and we headed to the Tsuruhashi Shotengai (shopping street).

Attracted by the middle-aged staff’s call, we entered a cozy restaurant called Taeyang (meaning “sun”, spelled “太陽” in Japanese).

We toasted with Kimbap, Buchimgae (Korean pancakes) and beer – how classic! (and not to mention, always amazing)

As for the taste… it was the best Kimbap I have ever had. Also the staff was kind and friendly. When I told her my age, she said I looked yonger  Japanese youth always look younger, I guess? 

She also told us that Yangnyeomis is often thought as spicy seasoning, but it actually tastes sweet.

A few months later, I still couldn’t forget the taste of Kimbap, so I stopped by at Tsuruhashi station and bought some Kimbap, the yam Kimchi that the staff recommended to me, and some Japchae that caught my eye.

They were all so delicious!
