Then someone adds Tsutenkaku Tower, Dotonbori\u2019s neon signs and enough street food to make dinner unnecessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are popular because they are good. We are not going to pretend Nintendo World becomes a tourist trap simply because many people want to visit it. But these attractions do not fully explain why Osaka is worth visiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The best hidden gems in Osaka are not necessarily empty or secret. They simply show parts of the city that a standard first-trip checklist misses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These six unusual things to do in Osaka take you through kitchenware shops, a giant lion\u2019s mouth, everyday Osaka shopping, ancient temple grounds, instant ramen history and a mountain covered with daruma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2026\/01\/30\/5-non-negotiable-things-to-do-in-tokyo-before-you-even-think-about-anything-else\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tokyo<\/a> may be more polished. Osaka has the stronger instinct for making ordinary life entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Osaka\u2019s Kitchen at Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/05dcec29-6db1-4e4a-a943-2d23033bf84e.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A busy market street in Japan, with colorful banners and various shops lining the sides.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most visitors meet Osaka\u2019s kitchen from the dining side. They queue for takoyaki, look up famous restaurants, join a food tour or walk through food markets debating whether breakfast should involve sea urchin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com.my\/Attraction_Review-g14127623-d1896864-Reviews-Sennichimae_Doguyasuji_Shopping_Street-Chuo_Osaka_Osaka_Prefecture_Kinki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street<\/strong><\/a> shows what happens behind the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The covered arcade stretches for <strong>around 150 metres <\/strong>near Namba and specialises in professional kitchenware. Shops sell <strong>knives, bowls, lacquerware, chopsticks, restaurant signs, lanterns, takoyaki pans<\/strong> and the heavy griddles used for okonomiyaki. Food-replica workshops and glass-etching experiences are also available at selected businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appeal is not limited to serious cooks. Small plates, cups and chopsticks make practical souvenirs, while the plastic food displays are entertaining even when nobody needs a fake bowl of ramen at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some replicas look more appetising than meals we have paid real money for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arcade is short, so do not reserve half a day unless buying cookware is your emotional support activity. Pair it with <strong>Kuromon Market<\/strong>, <strong>Namba Yasaka Jinja<\/strong> or lunch nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Doguyasuji is worth visiting because it explains how Osaka produces delicious food, not merely where visitors consume it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just remember that professional cookware becomes considerably less charming when carried through an airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to expect:<\/strong> specialist stores, restaurant workers buying supplies and tourists discovering that a commercial takoyaki grill will not fit inside cabin luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Namba<br><strong>Nearest station:<\/strong> Namba Station, about three minutes away<br><strong>Admission:<\/strong> Free<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 45\u201390 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Namba Yasaka Jinja Is One of the Osaka Attractions Hidden in Plain Sight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/b46c2852-5c31-431c-885f-c044d7f54b28.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A large, elaborate building designed to look like a mythical creature's face, with a prominent open mouth and fierce eyes, surrounded by greenery and a stone path.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nankai.co.jp\/en\/community\/natts\/odekake\/namba-yasaka-shrine-guide\/?utm_source=fmo_en&amp;utm_medium=redirect&amp;utm_campaign=namba-yasaka-shrine-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Namba Yasaka Jinja<\/strong><\/a> is not subtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its enormous lion-head stage opens its mouth across the shrine grounds, complete with large teeth and an expression suggesting it has just seen your search history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The odd part is <strong>how easily it hides in plain sight<\/strong>. Walk several minutes away from Namba\u2019s bustling streets and department stores, and the dense commercial Osaka area suddenly gives way to a compact neighbourhood shrine. <strong>The lion is associated with driving away misfortune and bringing good luck<\/strong> in competition, while the shrine\u2019s Tug-of-War Ceremony is recognised as Osaka\u2019s first intangible folk cultural asset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lion stage is the obvious photograph, but the stop improves when visitors slow down. Look around the smaller buildings, use the purification basin where appropriate and leave room for people who are actually there to worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The grounds have free entry and can be covered in 20 minutes<\/strong>, although if you are a serious photographer, you will probably require longer to wait for everyone else to leave the frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is one of Osaka\u2019s easiest unusual stops because it delivers something memorable without demanding half a day or three train changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pair it with Doguyasuji or add it to a walk between Namba and Daikokucho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to expect:<\/strong> a functioning shrine, one extraordinary lion, free entry and considerably less effort than most major Osaka attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Namba Yasaka Jinja<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Namba<br><strong>Nearest stations:<\/strong> Namba and Daikokucho<br><strong>Admission:<\/strong> Free<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 20\u201340 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Osaka Tenmangu Gives You Street Food and Everyday Osaka<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7aeddd6c-91e6-4ab8-a919-e2200c5e66c8.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A traditional Japanese building with green-tiled roofs and wooden architecture, surrounded by a fence and various structures.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Osaka_Tenmang%C5%AB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Osaka Tenmangu<\/strong><\/a> is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, revered as a deity of learning and performing arts. <strong>Students and families visit to pray for academic success<\/strong>, but the shrine also anchors one of the city\u2019s most satisfying neighbourhood walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start inside the shrine grounds. They are compact and practical rather than overwhelming, with worshippers moving through ordinary routines while visitors work out the etiquette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then enter <strong>Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street<\/strong>. The covered arcade extends for roughly <strong>2.6 kilometres<\/strong> and contains <strong>around 600 shops<\/strong>. It developed as the temple town around Osaka Tenmangu and still mixes croquette counters, sweet shops, tea merchants, noodle restaurants, household stores and businesses serving everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not attempt to \u201ccomplete\u201d the whole shopping street unless your Osaka bucket list includes tired ankles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pick a section and wander<\/strong>. Eat a croquette while it is hot, stop for taiyaki, or choose a modest restaurant for noodles and rice. Not everything near an entrance is technically street food, and some of the better local food is eaten sitting down rather than while blocking the walkway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The farther you move from the obvious entrances, the more the neighbourhood feels like everyday Osaka. Residents buy groceries. Older couples have lunch. Shopkeepers stand outside businesses that have little interest in becoming content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The attraction is the delightful overlap between worship, eating, shopping and ordinary city life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to expect:<\/strong> free shrine admission, lively streets, inexpensive snacks and enough shops to make browsing more rewarding than planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Osaka Tenmangu and Tenjinbashisuji<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Tenma<br><strong>Nearest stations:<\/strong> Minami-morimachi and Osaka-Tenmangu<br><strong>Shrine hours:<\/strong> 9am\u20135pm<br><strong>Admission:<\/strong> Free<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 2\u20133 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shitennoji Is the Historic Ji Temple Stop for an Osaka Bucket List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/b0936cfe-9926-4c14-aea1-30b636433230.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A traditional Japanese temple complex with multiple pagodas and vibrant red and white architecture, set against a clear blue sky.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shitenn%C5%8D-ji\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Shitennoji Temple<\/strong><\/a> was founded by Prince Shotoku in 593 and is regarded as <strong>Japan\u2019s first official Buddhist temple<\/strong>. The current central buildings are reconstructions, but their arrangement preserves one of Japan\u2019s oldest temple layouts. That distinction matters. Visitors are seeing historical continuity, not untouched sixth-century timber that somehow survived war, fire and weather by being very determined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The central precinct contains the pagoda and main halls, while separate paid areas include the Honbo Garden and treasure museum. The latter is temple-specific, not a national museum requiring an entire afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there are <strong>the turtles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Near the pond, turtles swim, crowd along the edges and sit in the sun with the confidence of animals that know they have become a secondary attraction. Come for around 1,400 years of history. Stay because the turtles have organised their own programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shitennoji belongs in any conversation about Japan\u2019s oldest Buddhist temples<\/strong>, but it does not feel embalmed. Worship continues, and outdoor stalls fill the grounds during fairs held on the 21st and 22nd of each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outer temple grounds can be explored freely. The central precinct currently costs \u00a5500 for adults, with separate tickets for the museum and garden. Opening hours vary slightly by season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit in the morning, before the nearby Tennoji and Abeno area pulls everyone towards louder attractions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to expect:<\/strong> active worship, reconstructed historic buildings, paid inner areas, quiet temples and an unreasonable number of turtles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Shitennoji Temple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Tennoji<br><strong>Nearest station:<\/strong> Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka<br><strong>Main precinct admission:<\/strong> \u00a5500 for adults<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 1\u20132 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda Makes Instant Ramen Personal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f28b6a16-f1d2-4e0a-9edd-82f01a17cc91.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A wall display filled with various instant noodle packaging, with visitors observing the collection.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cupnoodles-museum.jp\/en\/osaka_ikeda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda<\/strong><\/a> is dedicated to an invention that has rescued students, office workers and people unwilling to wash a saucepan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momofuku Ando developed Chicken Ramen in Ikeda in 1958, and <strong>the museum follows instant noodles from a reconstructed work shed to a global food category<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The My CUPNOODLES Factory is the main reason to visit. Buy a cup, decorate it, choose one of four soups and select four toppings from 12 options. Staff insert the noodles, seal the container and shrink-wrap it before the finished cup goes into an inflatable carrying bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Designing lunch in a plastic cup should not feel this satisfying, but here we are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The activity costs \u00a5500 and takes roughly 45 minutes. A same-day numbered ticket is required, and distribution ends when slots run out. Advance telephone and online reservations are not accepted for this particular experience, so arrive early during weekends and holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum is one of the more reliably fun things to add to a Japan trip, particularly with children or during rain. Adults will also become strangely invested in dehydrated toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to expect:<\/strong> colourful exhibits, family groups, free general admission and intense artistic decisions involving corn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Ikeda<br><strong>Hours:<\/strong> 9.30am\u20134.30pm, last admission 3.30pm<br><strong>Closed:<\/strong> Tuesday, or the following day when Tuesday is a national holiday<br><strong>Access:<\/strong> About 20 minutes from Osaka-Umeda to Ikeda, then a five-minute walk<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> 90 minutes\u20132 hours <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take a Day Trip to Katsuoji Temple Off the Beaten Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ab3208d5-23e5-4400-b5ef-b921447e5ece.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A collection of colorful Daruma dolls, featuring traditional designs, displayed in a wooden structure with a blurred path and greenery in the background.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osaka-info.jp\/en\/spot\/katsuoji\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Katsuoji Temple<\/strong><\/a> sits in the hills of Minoh, beyond central Osaka and its more convenient train exits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The temple is associated with victory and good fortune<\/strong>. Red daruma dolls appear across shelves, steps, rocks and corners of the temple grounds, producing one of the Kansai region\u2019s most recognisable religious landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors commonly use larger kachi-daruma to represent a goal. One eye is filled when making the commitment and the second after achieving it. Smaller fortune daruma are left across the grounds, creating the impression that hundreds of tiny red supervisors are monitoring everyone\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route through Katsuoji passes bridges, ponds, gates and forested slopes. Seasonal flowers and foliage change the experience across the year. Cherry blossom season may extend into early April here, but exact cherry blossom timing changes annually and should never be treated as a confirmed appointment. Hydrangeas, summer greenery and autumn leaves give the temple other reasons to visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Katsuoji is off the beaten path by Osaka standards<\/strong>, not wilderness-documentary standards. There is still a direct bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pro Tip: <\/strong>Avoid Golden Week where possible. Late April and early May form one of Japan\u2019s busiest domestic travel periods, when transport and accommodation may fill rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Give Katsuoji half a day. Trying to squeeze it between five downtown stops misunderstands both geography and holidays.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Katsuoji Temple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Area:<\/strong> Minoh<br><strong>Hours:<\/strong> 8am\u20135pm; Saturday until 6pm<br><strong>Admission:<\/strong> \u00a5500 for high-school age and above<br><strong>Access:<\/strong> Bus from Minoh-Kayano Station<br><strong>Time needed:<\/strong> Half day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Hidden Gems in Osaka to Save on Google Maps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/da91de21-97b2-4904-9414-8d420630d605.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A narrow alleyway with small shops and outdoor seating, featuring colorful umbrellas and bicycles parked nearby.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insideosaka.com\/nakazakicho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Nakazakicho<\/strong><\/a> works when you want somewhere less structured than a formal attraction.&nbsp;The neighbourhood sits close to Umeda and JR Osaka Station, yet its low-rise streets feel separated from the surrounding department stores and towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Many older houses survived wartime destructio<\/strong>n and now contain caf\u00e9s, galleries, second-hand clothing stores and small creative businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are retro shops, vintage shops and occasional street art, but the neighbourhood does not need a rigid checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save a few places on Google Maps, then walk towards whichever caf\u00e9 or narrow lane looks interesting. Openings change, and this is one Osaka area where discovery is more useful than treating every shop as an obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakazakicho is not untouched by tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is simply gentler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How These Unique Things Fit Into an Osaka Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7a55c258-c3fa-49b6-bfd6-7398eaac9bed.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"A view of a bustling urban canal lined with colorful advertisements and buildings, with a yellow boat navigating the water and people sitting along the banks.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Group places geographically rather than allowing Osaka\u2019s train system to become the main experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a Namba half-day, combine Namba Yasaka Jinja with Doguyasuji, then return to the bustling streets for dinner. Pair Osaka Tenmangu with Tenjinbashisuji and Ura-Tenma. Combine Shitennoji with Abeno Harukas or Tsutenkaku Tower if you still want one mainstream stop. The Cup Noodles Museum works as a northern excursion, while Katsuoji deserves its own half-day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Himeji Castle belongs on a separate day trip. Todai-ji Temple and the Nara National Museum belong in a Nara section of a wider Japan itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A good Osaka itinerary leaves enough space to experience a place rather than merely prove you reached it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are These Unusual Osaka Experiences Worth Adding?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ad30f8f2-05ff-4d79-af20-d07a17e6d6de.webp?ssl=1\" alt=\"Osaka Castle with its distinctive architecture, surrounded by trees and a bridge, in a clear blue sky.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osaka\u2019s character is not confined to one castle, one aquarium or one theme park.
