A Guide for couples traveling to Rinku Town: 3 must-visit spots with romantic evening or night views created by sea, plants and airplanes

“Rinku Town” is located on the opposite shore of Kansai International Airport and faces Osaka Bay. Because of its great location, it has lots of spots with stunning views created by sea, plants or airplanes flying in the sky. This time, we’d like to suggest a romantic itinerary for couples, which allows you to see superb evening or night views.

Take photos of the horizon where the sun sets and airplanes in the sky while sitting on the white beach! －The sacred place for couples “Marble Beach”

Extending for about 900 meters along the Rinku town coastline, “Marble Beach” has a beach made of white marble gravel and green pine forests behind it. On a clear day, Osaka’s popular tourist spots including Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Awaji Island show up far away. Why not visit here before sunset as a starting point for your evening walk? Although Marble Beach gives us energy with refreshing scenery during the day, it changes to scenery with a calm atmosphere as the sun starts to set. Over time, the vermilion gradation that colors the sky changes, and the sun slowly sets over the palm forests of the adjacent Southern Beach. If the timing is right, the silhouettes of airplanes taking off and landing at Kansai International Airport may show up in the fiery sky. In addition, Marble Beach is also Osaka’s first spot registered as a sacred place for couples. There is a heart-shaped monument with the sentence ‘Always with you’, so it might be a good idea to propose marriage here.
