Thank you so much for this video. We have been to Osaka two times already, and we love eating the local food there. I can definitely vouch for Acchichi takoyaki, Lord Stowe’s egg tarts , Rikuro Oji-San cheesecake, and Osaka Ohsho’s gyoza. I can’t wait to go back and try other places

[@samurai_junjiro]

@@Greenkai3000 Thank you for watching our video! There are so many delicious foods in Osaka, so it's always fun no matter how many times you visit😆

[@mpandunky]

I've watched plenty of Osaka lists but this is one of the best. Very detailed with directions & descriptions. Thank you

[@samurai_junjiro]

Wow! Glad to hear that! Thank you :)

[@marielacorzo3266]

I am planning my trip to Japan right now. I checked this channel for a video on an Osaka travel guide and couldnt find one. i log back into my computer and saw this one on my home page posted 30 minutes ago. What a coincidence lol

[@samurai_junjiro]

That was great timing! lol If you're not sure whether the video you want to watch is on this channel, just leave a comment on any video, and I'll provide you with the link (if there are any videos about that on this channel). So, feel free to comment!

[@lizpedroza9965]

I recommend staying at the Holiday Inn hotel because it has a shuttle bus from train station to hotel that travels back and forth every 30 minutes. They also included a free breakfast buffet. I wish I would have seen this video before I went on my trip.

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

@@lizpedroza9965 thats a pretty expensive hotel to be in Osaka, i mean i guess thats why they can have shuttle busses going that often, i would rather save my money on a cheaper hotel around Dotonbori, as i really only sleep at my hotel when im in japan. And its not like its hard getting around in Osaka from Shin-Osaka. But evryone travels differently.

[@shucroc]

Perfect timing! My wife and I are coming back to Japan to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Between your recent Kyoto video (and previous ones), all your Tokyo videos, and this we will be studying them! Thank you for your videos.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Glad to hear that! We hope this video will help you on your trip to Japan :)

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

Thanks for this amazing vídeo, Osaka is a very beautiful city that i must ad to my list of places to visit, your vídeos are extremelly important for me, and i hope to use your information someday. And one more thing, i loved the idea to take a picture dressed as a samurai, i always wanted to learn how to handle a katana.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Hi, João san :) Thank you as always! Osaka Castle is especially popular among international tourists. Oh, you mentioned before that you're interested in Katana, right? I think the experience of dressing up as a samurai and taking photos would be perfect for you!

[@ayie4u]

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

Been to japan 4 times allready and i keep watching videoes in hope to learn something i havent seen / done yet, think you guys are the first to bring up Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street and tsuruhashi. It seems that a lot of people only speak about the main attraction and places around dotonbori / namba and tsutenkaku, so this was refreshing. A lot of people introduce America mura as a place for younger people, though i will rather say it's a highlight for alternative people in general, yes that means mostly younger people, but plenty of old awsome people as well.

[@samurai_junjiro]

Thank you for watching our video! We love sharing places that aren’t featured on other channels, so we’re glad we could introduce these spots! There weren’t many international tourists in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, but if you’re looking for a local experience, it’s worth visiting :)

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

@@samurai_junjiro my Osaka friend is going to show me around Nishinari Ward which i also havent heard anything about, so going to be interesting. Very few tourists find their way down there, and as i gather its really cheap and lots of local speciallity there

[@adam_benedict_hendroff_17_88]

Recently, I followed Nakai Seiya's Railroad Journey on NHK, and loved how the sceneries across Japan. So, I'm inspired of putting railroad travel across Japan as one of my main methods when I get to land on Japan, trying to follow Nakai Seiya san's trail, and mix it up with every of your travel guides to get the true experience throughout Japan. 😊

[@samurai_junjiro]

Sounds great! Enjoy exploring various places in Japan!

[@Matto-91]

Thanks for the video! I've added a lot of your suggestions to my list! we've decided during our trip to Japan in the Fall we are going to spend a whole week in Osaka just to see everything, we were just going to do day trips from Tokyo but I think it would be best to stay in Osaka that way you can experience the vibrant night life as well ! :)

[@samurai_junjiro]

That sounds great! To really enjoy Osaka, I think you need at least 3 days. Dotonbori is lively and bright at night just like during the day, so you’re sure to have a good time!

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

with 1 week i promis you, you'll barely be scratching the surface of Osaka. Also if you dont allready know, subs stops fairly early, so staying close to Dotonbori (walking distance) or Umeda is recommended, there are plenty of other night life spots, but these are the most vibrant in my opinion.

[@Matto-91]

@@deaddrunkgamer7399 thanks for the advice, I figured one week wouldn't be enough considering the 4 months I spent there still didn't feel like enough 😅

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

@@Matto-91 know that feel, longest stay i had in japan was 6 weeks with 3 weeks in osaka and 3 in tokyo

Osaka is amazing though, September is still fairly warm and Humid, so be aware of that. And the side streets of Osaka do hide some gems, like crazy whisky bars and such

Thank you! I think it's easier to find places with nearby stations or landmarks, so I included them in the video :)

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

my best tip when it comes to traveling in japan in general, dont go off on your intended station, there is so much to see between the stations and a lot of the hidden gems are in the sidestreets a little further from the stations.

I stayed in the Shinsekai area when I was in Japan last, it was really great. I only spent one night in Osaka though, next time I go I hope to spend a few more days there.

Skip osaka castle and take a pic from outside. Go see a real castle, Nagano or Himeiji.

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

I agree and disagree, its a beautiful attraction, and every time i visit Osaka i still go to the castle, going inside the castle is indeed not really that worth it, sure if you want the view from a different spot, be my guest, but for views, there are better spots.
