Pickup points and meeting tips
- For Shitennoji, set down on the main road near the temple precinct; the inner temple roads are not for buses.
- Tennoji Park groups can be collected on the road along the park edge, close to the zoo or museum entrance you specify.
- Hotels around Osaka Uehommachi Station generally have entrances suited to vans; confirm a coach-boarding spot for larger groups.
- Temple-dense streets around Tennoji are narrow — keep the meeting point on a main avenue.
Vehicle access
Main roads such as Tanimachi-suji are open to all vehicles, while the residential temple lanes behind them suit only small vehicles. Coach groups should expect a short walk from the agreed stop to temples.
Temple visits often work best with a short walk from a designated stop.
Luggage
Mostly a sightseeing area; luggage matters mainly for Uehommachi hotel check-outs, where vans can load at the door.
