How do I visit the Kamitsushima camphor tree in 2026?

Kamitsushima is in Nara, not Osaka.

Yamanobe-no-Michi trail nearby, worth the walk.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

Yeah its technically Tenri city, so you'd take the Kintetsu line from Osaka to Tenri then a bus or taxi out.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

Correct, and the tree itself sits near Isonokami Jingu.

Sakurai station is the closer stop actually

Miwa station's even closer if you're walking the trail.

Fair point, it's well over the border in Nara prefecture, so plan a half day from Osaka minimum.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Worth adding that the border runs through the mountains, so it's an easy day trip but not a quick detour from central Osaka.

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

True, and the tricky bit is the tree sits closer to the Nara side of the border, so budget the better part of a day from Osaka.

Planning to visit Shimada Ruins in 2026 and I keep seeing different prices online. Is there a separate rate for foreign visitors or do I pay the same as everyone else? Just want to know the real numbe… Planning to visit Shimada Ruins in 2026 and I keep seeing different prices online.

Same rate, no foreign surcharge.

yeah thats right, tho i think the standard adult ticket runs around 300 yen so budget for that.

arrow_drop_up 2 arrow_drop_down

300 yen sounds about right but the site itself is free to wander, so you're really paying for the museum bit

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

tbh the museum bit is the only part worth paying for anyway, the free ruins walk is pretty sparse

agreed, the 300 yen adult rate applies to everyone including foreign visitors, no separate pricing at the gate.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Makes sense, though I'd still check the official site closer to 2026 since rates get revised.

arrow_drop_up 0 arrow_drop_down

yep no surcharge, but double check the fee before u go since prices change

arrow_drop_up -1 arrow_drop_down

true, though the ruins themselves are free to walk

arrow_drop_up 1 arrow_drop_down

pretty sure the 300 yen covers the museum part anyway so no extra for foreigners

arrow_drop_up 0 arrow_drop_down

Correct, the 300 yen is flat across the board.
