Exploring Osaka
Ready to explore the hustle and bustle of Osaka? Honestly I felt a little overwhelmed with the crowds during the day but still enjoyed my time there.
Things To Do
Osaka Castle Park: While the museum inside is popular, I’d reccomend takingph otos outside to avoid long queues.
Dotonbori: Although crowded, day and night, you won’t be bored the streets are filled with restaurants, street food stalls, and nightlife.
Universal Studios Japan: The popular theme park is worth visiting, I highly reccomend going an hour or two after opening I went right at opening and yes it was a long line but honestly it was a quick process.
Shinsekai: this retro downtown neighborhood is cool to explore. Ascend Tsutenkaku Tower for panoramic views and it glows at night.
Tombori River Walk: Enjoy a romantic walk around or enjoy a leisurely boat ride along the river.
Where To Eat
Takoyaki Doraku Wanaka: Sample takoyaki, a local favorite. I was not too fond of it at first, but I tried it again with crab and definitely enjoyed it.
Mizuno: Indulge in authentic okonomiyaki, a savory pancake with delicious toppings
Central Fish Market - Endo Sushi: fresh sushi straight from the market.
Slices: If you’re a pizza lover, I highly recommend visiting this small business.
Pokémon Cafe: Immerse yourself in the world of Pokémon. If reservations are elusive, arrive early to secure a spot and enjoy a delightful dining experience.
