OSAKA Travel Guide | Top 25 Things to Do in Osaka, Japan for Visitors ????????
In our Osaka travel guide, we are sharing 25 things to do in Osaka, Japan for visitors excited to explore this dynamic Japanese city! Affectionately known as Japan’s Kitchen, Osaka was the first stop of our trip to Japan and a wonderful place to eat! We dove straight into the local cuisine visiting markets, street food stalls, and restaurants that required ordering from ticket vending machines.
But our trip to Osaka (大阪市) wasn’t all food. In between all the eating, we also managed to visit towering skyscrapers, hidden temples, and retro gaming arcades - all of them complete surprises.

Transportation in Osaka, Japan:
Now a quick note on transportation in Osaka (大阪市). When it comes to getting around the city, subways and trains are your best bet.
We spent our first few days buying one-way tickets and day passes, which in retrospect was a bit of a headache. The easiest thing to do is to get a prepaid card where you can load money as needed.
Osaka’s version of this card is called Icoca, but you can also use Pasmo and Suica in the city.
And that’s a wrap for our Osaka travel guide. We hope you found this video helpful and that it gave you some ideas of things to do in Osaka on your own trip.

Download my FREE USJ map including photos:

USJ is located in Osaka, Japan, it covers 140-acers and is the fourth most visited theme park in the world topping 14 million visitors per year.

► best purchase when travelling around Japan
At Jurassic Park I went on Jurassic Park: the Ride. You can also enjoy the insane flying dinosaur and world's largest minion area for their despicable me minion mayhem ride which I actually really enjoyed but my favorite part of the minion park was the banana popcorn.
Other areas include Universal Wonderland for the kids and Waterworld and not to forget the crazy JAWS ride at Amity Island.
But the best area of all has to be the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, get yourself a magic wand to perform magic tricks throughout the park and hop on the most incredible ride I've ever been on. It felt like I was riding a broomstick chasing Harry Potter through all his adventures. This ride can have lines up to 3 hours thus I highly recommend you purchase the Express Pass from Voyagin.
Top it off with a warm or cold Butterbeer and taste the creamy butterscotch shortbread to end this magical adventure.
Now the 10th area has not been completed yet, the highly anticipated Super Nintendo World will be opened in 2020, I cannot wait to check it out!
The best part of USJ has to be the Halloween Horror Nights every evening from early September to early November including scary zombie walks with themes ranging from clown zombies, toxic zombies, pirates zombies, tribal zombies, cute zombies, mutant zombies, punk zombies, prisoner zombies! You'll find yourself fending off hordes of zombies.
An entrance ticket to the park starts at 7400 yen but prices do vary from day to day but I highly recommend you buy the express pass online to avoid long waiting lines.
Also, try to visit during the low season, around January and February and my final tip; arrive 1 hour before opening to get the most out of your day at USJ but go on a weekday since weekends are insanely crowded.

The most iconic place in Osaka is by far Osaka Castle. I highly recommend you make your way to the top floor in castle for some stunning views of Osaka and getting an idea how the ancient warlords used to live. Osaka Castle played a major role in the unification of japan during the sixteenth century.
If time permits, checkout Japan's biggest aquarium in Osaka called Kaiyukan which includes the great barrier reef collection and is about a 2 kilometer walk through the aquarium. I have never seen such a massive indoor fish tank in my life. Entrance sets you back 2300 yen or 21 US dollars since the aquarium is west of downtown Osaka it is a great idea to combine it with a visit to Endo Sushi, Osaka's best sushi located at the Osaka Fish Market, a sushi experience you will not regret!

Osaka like Tokyo is also known for having outrageous shops like the Longsoftcream, the longest ice cream in Japan for 500 yen or 4.75 US dollars this shop is located in Amerikamura, a place to meet really friendly and cool locals.
For the most mesmerizing views of Osaka head over to the Harukas 300 observatory deck at the Abeno Harukas building just east of Shinsekai. Entrance is 1500 yen or 14 US dollars, I do recommend you visit in the evening so you can see the sunset and night view of this incredible city with all it's blinking lights on its sky scrapers.

Like most tourists, a visit to the Dotonbori district is a must! Dotonbori includes the famous canal cruises, magnificent restaurants with crazy decorations and mouth-watering street foods like the Giant Japanese Scallops, Takoyaki and the massive Dotonbori Sandwich complete with Gyozas, Yakisoba and a ton of sauce.
In conclusion, I am often sad to hear that new visitors to Japan often skip Osaka for Tokyo and Kyoto, but I hope to have convinced you with this new travel guide to give Osaka a change as well. It is for good reason Osaka is called the kitchen of Japan.

Osaka is famous in Japan for their food. Its nickname is “the nation’s kitchen”.
Most well known: okonomiyaki, which is a dish made with meat, seafood, and noodles.
Takoyaki, delicious fried octopus balls that are sure to curve your hunger cravings at night.
Kushikatsu. Kushi refers to the bamboo skewers that the food is on and you can find meat, vegetable and even cheese varieties here. Don’t forget to dip your fried goods into the tonkatsu sauce (but strictly NO double dipping)

Osaka is home to 200+ Michelin starred restaurants and Dontoburi is the epicentre of that.
Aside from the delicious food, Osaka is also well known for its high quality Sake, or Japanese rice wine. The sake is made from fresh water that comes from the Osaka mountains

Osaka’s “main street,” Midosuji is a broad street All the major international luxury brands have outlets here
Hozenji Yokocho (traditional alley)
Two small blocks east of Midosuji and two small blocks south of the Dotombori Arcade, you’ll find one of the most beautiful streets in all of Osaka and it looks like it was magically transported from somewhere in Kyoto. Entering this street is like slipping 200 years back in time.
Doguyasuji Arcade (kitchen and cooking supply shopping arcade)

Den Den Town. Osaka’s answer to Akihabara and not far from Namba station, here you’ll find all the weird and wonderful Japanese toys and manga you’ve heard about on the internet. Watch your step or you could unintentionally fall into adult-only territory. (Or intentionally, if that’s what you’re after.)
Den-Den is the city’s electronics, camera, computer and pop culture shopping neighborhood. It’s about 10 minutes’ walk southwest of Namba Station, in Nippombashi, running roughly between Nippombashi and Ebisucho stations on the Sakaisuji subway line. Many of the shops here have someone on hand who can speak English, so don’t be afraid to ask for help when looking for something.
