When exploring Osaka, you simply cannot miss out on the incredible attractions that await you! From the majestic Osaka Castle to the lively Dotonbori River district, there is so much to see and do in this vibrant city. Don't forget to wander through the massive covered shopping streets both above and BELOW ground, which also serve as emergency shelters - a true testament to Japanese innovation.
Osaka is a treasure trove of unique and delicious foods, particularly those crafted with wheat flour. While Kobe may have been the deep water trading port during the time of the Samurai, it is Osaka that truly shines as the birthplace of culinary innovation.

And let's not forget about the countless shrines and temples that are scattered throughout Osaka, adding to the city's charm and history. But if you're looking for something a little more unique and offbeat, fear not - Osaka has you covered. With a diverse range of attractions catering to all interests, this city promises to provide an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
