Stunned by Osaka, Japan's Buzzing Nightlife City 🇯🇵 大阪市

Arriving in Osaka (大阪市) from Kyoto, I experience the country's nightlife capital by wandering around Dotonbori, before visiting Osaka Castle and Aquarium the following day.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZbinr who's been to 61 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.
I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.
After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.
I've travelled to North America just once as a KZbinr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.
I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to Asia, with videos following from India, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan.

Osaka people are so much more open and funny than people from other parts of Japan. Also most of Japanese comedians are from the Osaka area. Japan is great - we just returned from Okinawa which we left before the Taifun No 5 arrived. :-)

[@VictorLugosi]

In Osaka they try too hard to be American which makes it terrible.. America is a craphole

[@mattsoca1]

I am currently visiting Japan for about 15 months, dividing my time between Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I began this trip with a stay in Osaka for 3 and 1/2 months, and am now in Kyoto. One thing that may be important to know about Osaka, is that there are now major efforts to renovate and upgrade the city as has been previously been done in Tokyo. But it is true, Osaka has a more "relaxed" feel to it, as opposed to Tokyo. This is probably because Tokyo is the business and political hub of Japan - sort of like New York and Washington DC rolled into one.

Cool video!

[@eld4726]

Man, you have such terrific videos! I am headed to Japan in Oct. Will be on a cruise. We stop in Osaka but I really want to see Kyoto. We are only there for the day, so I am happy to hear the train makes it only a 1/2 hour trip. Unfortunately, I will miss the Osaka nightlife so thanks so much for those visuals. We stop in Hiroshima after Osaka and will be there for two days….so looking forward to your next video.

[@danielvalenzuela9764]

Great video znd coverage of Osaka. Lots of lights and activity. Thank alot for showing us this special city in Japan

[@kayflip2233]

As a New Yorker, I prefer Osaka to Tokyo. Osaka is much more scaled down and comfortable, yet still has all of the big city qualities, shops, restaurant, nightlife, buzz, endless areas to explore etc. Osaka is very, very slept on for a tourist city.

[@Ramz007]

I also stayed at Midsuji hotel - amazing view and value. Loved every minute in japan and Osaka castle was one of the better castles i have visited,

[@unique.company]

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan.

[@Jpkjr52]

Enjoying our trip. Thanks again John in Chicago

[@seanjamescameron]

You are such a brilliant presenter. Never had any desire to travel the world until I started watching your videos. Is there anywhere left in the world where you haven't been! Maybe become the first KZbinr to travel into space?!

[@pushpasharma5591]

Super

[@AlejandroDuran263]

Universal Studios Japan is in Osaka

[@mytravelsandevents5039]

Yes

[@rayofsunshine1219]

The way you speak is so soothing, I could listen all day 😂

[@bankerdave888]

I was there in August of 2019. Major Japanese cities are visual sensory overload. I didn't realize that until I got back in LA!

[@gwmkiwi]

Wagyu beef is also raised (on grass) in New Zealand where it is readily available

[@Moemuntz]

Stayed in this hotel and can’t recommend it enough. The price is unbelievable. Similar rooms in nyc or hotel would cost you $300 or more.

[@hideokogawa]

Osaka have been called "Kuidaore town" . "Kui"=eating, "daore"=fall downing. So we can enjoy much delicous and cheep foods same as your video till we cannot walk by full sromach.

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Jason, do you recall name of restaurant where you had the wagyu beef? Kept playing it back but couldn’t find, ha

[@chockalingamalagappan1693]

Imagine a whole uncut 12 feet crab on a plate 😂

[@Imsolovesway]

Can I ask what video equipment you are using to vlog?

[@mrssandycandy]

😊

[@atsuyatento]

Please try Takoyaki

[@tennis58able]

Hi, What is the name of the restaurant you ate Wagyu at in Osaka?

[@user-rk5zt9jp5n]

สวัสดีค่ะ 🙏

[@lucash7012]

Is this old footage? Everyone’s dressed like it’s cold but isn’t it mid 80’s rn at night there

[@kayflip2233]

Nah Shinjuku, Shibuya, Akihabara etc still have WAY more billboards and lights than Dotonbori.

[@karreyminight]

Wow this is amazing passby my handle

Osaka is a city that grew only because of private companies, but Tokyo is a city that grew through the concentrated government investment of taxes.
