This is the oldest building in Japan built in the style of the Qing Dynasty.
Skilled artisans were invited from China and built the hall in the traditional manner without using a single nail.
Built as a shrine dedicated to Lord Guan Yu whose story appears in Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sangokushi), the hall was completed in 1910.
It is presently closed to the public. (Movie from a special event in 2008).
2016 Winter Ueda City
JAPAN - Hirakata Park, Osaka
We visited the small amusement park 'Hirakata Park'. There were many cool attractions including a ferris wheel, several roller coasters, game rides, an illusion room, a cute mini zoo and many other attractions. Hirakata Park is a much cheaper alternative to other more expensive theme parks in Osaka suck as USJ ( Universal Studios Japan). :)
