🌿🍃 Off-the-Beaten-Path Japan: A Half-Day in Sakai City 🌸🌺🌿🍃

Originally, the plan for the day was to head to Uji for some matcha, 🌸🌺🌿🍃 but with the crowds at major attractions being overwhelming in the past few days, the experience wasn't as pleasant. Since I was returning home the next day, 🌸🌺🌿🍃 I decided against visiting popular spots and opted for a quieter place to explore. Then, we discovered Sakai City, Osaka's second-largest city, right next to it. 🌸🌺🌿🍃 It boasts a lighthouse over 100 years old and a café that's been around for 47 years. We were so captivated by the photos of this café that we decided to pay it a visit. 🌸🌺🌿🍃 As it turned out, it was absolutely the right choice; we fell in love with the place. ☕💖 🌸🌺🌿🍃 #SakaiCityEscape #HiddenGemCafe #LighthouseHistory #QuietGetaway 🌸🌺🌿
