Daito, Osaka, Japan｜Keitto

I heard that Keitto has a street piano, so I went to see it. There were fashionable restaurants and bakeries, and there was a cute painted piano outside. It was outside so the sun was shining brightly, but it was easy to play and had a nice resonance. It seems like it can be played on days other than Saturdays and Sundays and rainy days♪

A new spot recommended for family dates where you can spend half a day leisurely "Keitto" is popular with families with small children, stylish girls who like Scandinavia, and locals. Just opened in the spring of 2021, it is still a little-known little-known spot! It's a wonderful place where you can embody Nordic parenting, with events themed on "Nordic living", which is rare in Osaka, and sophisticated miscellaneous goods. Keitto is located in the "morineki area", about a 5-minute walk from JR Shijonawate Station. It's not a very big facility, but there is a square at the entrance of the area, and in front there is a stylish "Nordic restaurant", a cute "bakery", and a "clothes shop" with a natural taste. There are a lot of miscellaneous goods and handmade works! The whole Keitto facility is a nice building that incorporates Scandinavian design, but it's not a place where you can feel the forest like a "Moomin theme park" where you can feel the Nordic design. However, it's just a 20-minute train ride from downtown Osaka, and in a quiet place full of nature where you can feel the mountains nearby. And I feel happy when I feel a relaxed time. A small market is also held at the time of the event, and today there are rare items such as "Nordic vintage tableware" shops, "Latvian miscellaneous goods" and "Estonian chocolate"... until now, I could only meet at events in Northern Europe at department stores. I get excited just by looking around at various goods. I was happy to find that the clothing store in the facility also had miscellaneous goods from my favorite Finnish brand, Kauniste. There are also baby gifts and miscellaneous goods for children, so it is also recommended as a shop where you can choose gift goods ♪ In the back of the area, there is a "workshop specialty store", where handmade experiences that both children and adults can enjoy are held every day. Because it is a small shop, reservations for popular workshops seem to fill up quickly. According to the store staff, it is recommended to check the next month's schedule posted on the official Instagram as soon as possible! It looks like it will be posted around the middle of the month, so check it out. Since the workshops are reasonably priced, it is also recommended to experience one in the morning and another in the afternoon. If you get hungry, you can have a light lunch at the bakery, or you can enjoy the Scandinavian-style dishes at the restaurant. "North Object", the company that runs Keitto, is an apparel maker that provides comfortable clothes for mothers who are raising children and helps them feel rich in their lives by wearing them. The products are easy to wear and reasonably priced. If you register North Object's official app, you can earn 2 points for 100 yen, and you can use 1 point for 1 yen at affiliated stores at any time, so it's a great deal! Keitto is close to the station and convenient for trains, but it is recommended to go by car for families with small children because it has a "parking lot"! The Osaka Outer Loop Line is nearby, and it is easy to get to in a place slightly on the mountain side. Parking is free for up to 20 minutes. More than that will be 200 yen for 60 minutes, but it will be discounted with the purchase price. 《Total amount of receipts purchased on the day》1,000 yen or more 60 minutes free, 3,000 yen or more 120 minutes free, 5,000 yen or more 180 minutes free (December 2021 information) This time, I enjoyed the event "Furifus Nordic City" that I was interested in on Instagram ♪ Frifus Nordic City is a style that people in Norway have been practicing for a long time, "Furifusurifu", which is a style of living in harmony with nature. 』Themed event. "Hygge", which was noted a little while ago, is also a word that expresses "how to spend time and how to hold your mind" that Danes value. Recently, the “sauna” has also been attracting attention, and the Nordic way of life has become familiar. I'm looking forward to it♪ * I will be happy if you can refer to the impressions of each store as they are posted individually. "postscript" Spots around the morineki area that you want to enjoy together! ●There is a venerable "Shijonawate Shrine" about 10 minutes on foot, and it is one of the "Naniwa Shichiko Meguri", and is dedicated to Kusunoki Masayuki, who fought for his father's will. It is also famous as a shrine for fulfilling wishes. Cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring, and autumn leaves are beautiful in autumn. Near the entrance to the approach to Shijonawate Shrine, about a 5-minute walk away, is the gallery cafe "Zoologique" by Tomonori Taniguchi, who is famous for the picture book "100 Santa Clauses". It is It's a small cafe, so it's better to make a reservation. ●Trail running is recommended for sports enthusiasts who want to enjoy more nature! The shop next to the restaurant, "OBS (Outdoor Base Sotoaso) Iimori-ten", is owned by "Sotoaso", who proposes Satoyama trails. A base shop with a wide variety of authentic outdoor gear, and a shower room at the back of the store. After trail-running Mt. Iimori from our sister shop, "OBS Kisaichi" (Katano City, Osaka), it's a good idea to run to "OBS Iimori" in morineki to wash off your sweat and change your clothes before heading home. .

JR Tozai Line Shijonawate Station🚉 I went to a shopping mall within walking distance from Bakery, cafe, restaurant General store, clothing store, etc. It was a nice shopping mall packed with many shops. It's not that wide, but there is also an adjacent land 🅿️.
