Things to Do and Places to Visit in Osaka, Japan:

I only had two full days to explore Osaka, and as I was more interested in all the yummy food that Osaka has to offer than her attractions, I passed over some of the main attractions, i.e. the Osaka Castle and temples. Also, I wanted to explore the small neighborhoods and their charm rather than the crowded, touristy places. Here is a list of places to visit and things to do if you’re like me or need a change of pace or scenery:

• Nakazakicho
• Fukushima-ku
• Orange Street/Horie Tachibana
• Tenjinbajisuji Shotengai
• Grand Front Osaka/Lucua/Osaka Station
• Shopping, Drugstore, and VAT refund
• Dotonbori (yes, I know, very touristy and crowded)
• Umeda Sky Building (Floating Garden Observatory or Kuchu Teien)
