In the lively neighborhood of Tenjin, next to Tenjin Station and Mitsukoshi, are Kego Shrine and Park. The small shrine is a calm anchor in between the high buildings of the busy shopping area, and the park invites you to sit down and enjoy your lunch or afternoon coffee outside. Even after dark the park is often full of people hanging out and making music or young couples enjoying the evening.
