TOP 10 OSAKA PLACES TO VISIT 🇯🇵 Osaka Travel Guide 🐙

[@gotakazawa408]

Wow! You made a great video again! Even as a Japanese person who has lived in Tokyo and Nagoya for many years, I could never make such an outstanding video. It's filled with valuable information, not only for foreign tourists but also for Japanese viewers. By the way, I always enjoy the conversations between you and K.

Thank you for your comment! I’m so happy you found it useful and informative 😊 and thank you for your consistent support 🙏

I absolutely adore how you organized this video and edited it. The amount of effort to set up those maps to be so useful and visually appealing is amazing.

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

I’m glad you found it useful!! I hope it helps you for a future trip to Japan 😁

After watching just one of your videos, I hit subscribe immediately. You seem to choose incredibly interesting places to visit, and I appreciate how thoughtful your videos are - you have even taken the time to actually link to all the places you've visited. Your videos are fantastic and you're doing an excellent job, I wish more travel KZbin channels were more like this one.

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you are enjoying the videos I’ll keep working on making videos you can enjoy 💪

Thank you and kudos for giving Osaka the respect that it deserves! It's always been next-level Japan for visitors. You really have to go beyond Japan clichés to appreciate it. Needless to say, I went straight to Osaka when I first arrived and lived there for a couple years ( I was a massive J-history and culture otaku) and don't regret it one bit!

[@AlexandraGarcia-xt3or]

Great vidéo ! I was planning on Booking a hotel in Namba, but you changed my mind!

[@katsuhiro1215]

This is a very well observed video! It is excellent! Originally, “Umeda” comes from the Chinese character “埋田”. It changed from the meaning of reclaimed land and became Umeda. Later, when JR moved into the area, it was named Osaka to make it easier to understand as the name of the area, which led to the name Osaka Station. The name Umeda is a remnant of the old name. So the names are mixed. Shinsaibashi to Namba is a symbolic place of Osaka. I think the big signboards show Osaka's show-off character. It is said that “kuidaore” = eat and fall down, and “kidaore” = buy too many fashion stores. Since it has been called “the kitchen of the nation” for a long time, there are so many restaurants.

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

This is so informative - thank you!! 🤩

In 2018 i visited Osaka as part of the golden route. It was my favorite part of the trip. In 2019 we went back to Osaka and took 2 of oud best Friends with us and had an absolute blast! Then COVID hit and Osaka became somewhat of an obsession. Last year i went back in my own and i explored the city without a real plan for 11 days and had the time of my Life. Last week i went to Fukuoka and Hiroshima and because of the Shanghai typhoon i ended Up 1 extra day in Osaka. It accidentally confirmed what i knew deep down inside: Osaka is my favorite place in the whole damn world. Having said all this: in my time i watched waaaay to much Osaka video’s on KZbin and they all show the same thing. But!!! This is the best Osaka video i have seen till date! Its great and so right and full of useful info! Cheers!

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Wow! Such a lovely compliment from someone that appreciates Osaka as much as I do means so much! 🥹 It sounds like you’ve explored more than me - do you have any favourite areas?

[@lordfesnor7300]

Youre welcome! I personally love the tennoji area, with harukas300 , Lots of malls with tons of restaurants in the basements and also with the tenshiba park which hold a beautiful ‘wooden’ supermarket. Southeast of dobotsuen Mae station there is a very very quirky Somewhat gritty Street full of karaoke bars where the Japanese get really drunk and sing kind of eh, loud & without Shame. Tons of bbq restaurants also! Extreme retro vibes. You van Find It by lookibg Up taishi park on Google as the streets runs Rutger through it! Also love the Yodogawa Riverside park at night with the city lights in the distance. Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@IIDX7w34k574]

This is a dope video! I was just in Osaka for 7 days (my 2nd time there) and I was way more efficient at navigating the Osaka/Umeda/Hankyu/Hanshin madness and finding the correct department stores than when I was there last year for the first time. I found that if you follow the train line names, it will lead you to that specific department store. But Google Maps is 1000% necessary to ensure you're going in the right direction 😂

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

You’re doing better than me, I still get so lost in that underground network 😅

[@gs547]

To tell the truth, I had been an Osaka fan ever since one of my Japan tour acquaintances hijacked my wife & I for a few days in Osaka. She opened my eyes and told me, there is a lot to see in Osaka. On the other hand, I also once ran into a student living in Osaka, who explained to me that Osaka is mostly concrete, with very little greenery. Last year we visited Osaka (Umeda) again and I was stunned as to how much more developed it had become. We got lost (although we had visited Umeda several times before). I just gave up on Umeda and we spent most of our time in Namba. Umeda has so many levels (including an extensive underground). Just finding the ground level street is challenging for me. My friend visited Umeda last year and had no problem, however, so it could just be me (I've been to Osaka at least 5 times, each time for a week or so). Check Nakamoshima when the roses are in bloom. It is beautiful.

Thank you for the nice video!! It made me want to visit Osaka, especially for the coffee shops! (Since サニーさん from Melbourne says so, it must be true.) I’m really missing Australian coffee!🇦🇺 Also, among well-known cities, I really think there's not much to do in Nagoya lol, I reckon the nightlife is about it😂 But it’s a lovely city, so definitely visit it sometime😊

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Yes I am a coffee guru 🤓 I’ve never been to Nagoya but I want you to! Any places you recommend? Nightlife, cafe or otherwise?

[@nicky._mate]

@@Sunny_in_Japan Nagoya Castle is probably the most famous, with its iconic golden shachihoko (mythical carp) on the roof. There's also a small shopping area nearby! Another popular attraction is Higashiyama Zoo's famous "handsome gorilla," Shabani 🦍 Plus, the newly opened Ghibli Park has quickly become a must-visit spot. While these are well-known tourist destinations, what I'd really recommend is the food. You should try hitsumabushi (Nagoya's unique style of grilled eel on rice), tebasaki (fried chicken wings), miso katsu (pork cutlet with miso sauce), and miso nikomi udon (noodles in a miso-based broth). Miso-based dishes are a specialty here!

[@RJX1011D]

Well, still, there is not much there to 'see'. But that is why We feel at home in Osaka. I think the charm of Osaka is that you can drink, eat, live, sleep, and walk comfortably in Osaka, and if you want to go somewhere, you can easily go anywhere from the neighboring cities of Kyoto, Nara, and Kobe to as far as Hokkaido or Okinawa. You can go also anywhere in Tokyo, but Osaka is simply a more comfortable place to live. Please take a JR train(Ltd. Exp. KUROSHIO) to the south of Wakayama, preferably to Nachi-Katsuura or thereabouts. I am sure you will experience the advantages of Osaka's location.

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

I agree, there’s not as many ‘tourist attractions’ as maybe other cities, and maybe that’s why it’s not at the top of everyone’s list. But yes being in the centre of the amazing Kansai region is such a benefit!! Wakayama is on my list, it looks so beautiful 😍

So happy I found your channel and this video right before we leave for Japan! Would love a video on the Shinsaibashi area as we are staying there, but given what you said about Central Osaka station should we be considering switching?

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Hi there! I’m glad you found the video useful 🙂 I guess it depends on what you’re planning on doing! Shinsaibashi is great if you plan on exploring both umeda and downtown, as it’s in the middle, but staying near Osaka station is more convenient, especially if you’re planning on taking day trips to Kyoto and Nara Having said that, shinsaibashi is close to namba, which also has a lot of trains servicing it.

Thanks for your comment! I hope it helps make your Osaka trip enjoyable 😊

[@RandomJtv]

‘There really wasn’t much to do in Osaka’. WHAT!? I found myself spoilt for choice of things to do in Osaka. But, I do think that Osaka is way more (for the lack of a better term) ‘vibey’ than Tokyo. So I feel that you get the best experience out of Osaka if you don't just hop between touristy / sightseeing spots, and you allow yourself to wander around and be open to where the day takes you. I also think that the people make Osaka. I found locals to be far more talkative in Osaka than Tokyo, and they made so many great suggestions of things to see and do that guides didn’t list. Locals pretty much completely shaped my itinerary, so I owe so much of my great experience in Osaka to them. Osaka TO ME is a pretty social city. So you have to be willing to lean into that. Even if you’re a pretty solitary traveller with an introvert personality type-try to be open.

[@lovedayharris3010]

Wow! I enjoyed your video. My husband and I are visiting the 1st time late January. Although he is half Japanese, it has been 50 + years since he visited. We are planning to stay in Osaka for a few days after SHINJUKU ( that’s where his mom is from), then to Kyoto. In between, we are planning to go to Hanover and experience an onsen and Mt Fuji. Love to go to most places you recommended but is 4 days enough?

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Hi there! I’m so glad you found the video useful 😊 A few of the options are seasonal and for a first time trip, my top picks would be Umeda and Downtown (Namba, Shinsaibashi area). Even with a day trip to USJ you might be able to squeeze in cafe or izakaya hopping at the neighbourhoods I mentioned. It might be possible I would recommend not rushing to squeeze everything in to one trip. If you fall in love with Osaka like I did, you’ll be back 😉

19:39のたまごは恐らく、うずらの卵(Japanese quail egg)かな。 うずらはニワトリと違って小さな鳥なので卵も小さいです。 味もニワトリの卵とたいして変わらないので揚げ物やゆで卵にして、小さなトッピングとして活躍してくれてます。 僕はざるそばの汁に溶いて入れてます、途中で味変もできてコクがあってまろやか～🤗 うずらちゃんは小さくて真ん丸で可愛いのでペットとして飼ってる方もちらほらいますねｗ

えーペットに出来るんですか😳❗️ 次出会った時にもう少し注意深くみてみます🧐

素晴らしいビデオです。裏天王寺、鶴橋、大正、西九条、京橋、西成、十三、西中島もぜひ訪日外国人のために紹介してください。

@@Sunny_in_Japan サニーさん、ぜひ旦那さんと行ってみてください。 ①京橋・リンカーン食堂 ②十三・イマナカ酒店 どちらも立ち飲み屋さんです。 ①リンカーン食堂は若い方もいっぱい訪れる人気店です。明治23年創業の徳田酒店が経営している名店です🍺 ②イマナカ酒店は老舗の酒店が経営する角打ち（Kaku-uchi）で、日本のお酒文化の象徴と言えます🍶

ありがとうございます！ どちらもローカル感満載で一度寄ってみます！ 特に十三の方は、知らなかったら通り過ぎてしまいそうな雰囲気でしたね。笑

I am shocked to hear some foreigners saying Osaka is boring.Osaka is voted every year as one of the top nightlife cities in Japan.Some neighborhoods you didn't mention that are unique are: Den Den Town (Osaka's Akihabara), Tsuruhashi (old school Koreatown), and Ikuno Koreatown (modern version).Also there is an onsen theme park at Osaka Bay Hotel.

hmmm,.... the Osaka historical museum near the castle is extremely good, and if you take the stairs instead of elevator there are great views of the castle. There is also a different Namba Shrine (in Bakuromachi) which I like more; there is a Camphor tree here which survived the Pacific War bombings,... if you touch it you are said to get " energy ",... also, um, crime in Namba is somewhat high (especially purse snatching) ...

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Thanks for the tips on Osaka castle museum and the Namba Shrine! I’ll have to check them out next time I’m there. Shame to hear about the purse snatching though. There’s nothing like being on holidays and losing your wallet…

@@Sunny_in_Japan My relative's Osaka apartment is too small so I have to stay in hotels when I visit. If you go to Hanshin Hotel they have a nice public bath but also pipe hot spring water to each room. Nakanoshima Museum is also extremely good.

@towada1066 legend, thanks for the tips! 🙏

While Tokyo is famous for fine dining and intl cuisine, Osaka is more famous for its variety of street food.Less commonly known street foods would be: Modanyaki (okonomiyaki with yakisoba), niku man and sho rong bo from Horai 551, and Oshio's (fried rice and gyoza).

"‘Moto coffee’ sounds similar to ‘ホットコーヒー’ (hot coffee) in Japanese."

Can we get a full video on the Honmachi and Shinsaibashi area

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

First of all, awesome editing kills (music, sound effects, all of it). Second, my first time in Osaka, I did not like it at all. I felt it was dirtier than most other Japanese cities. But since moving to Japan (Fukuoka), I had chance to revisit several times Osaka. And I realize that the city didn't have that much to offer in my opinion but the people living there are great fun to be around with. Therefore, i'm slowly liking Osaka after every trip. That being said, I think that Honmachi is the best place to base yourself in Osaka on holiday as it is only 2 stations from Umeda and 2 stations from Namba on the subway Midousuji line, as well as on the Chuo line heading to Osaka castle if you want to go there.

[@Sunny_in_Japan]

Thanks for your comment What would you say is your favourite city in Japan now after visiting a few times? Honmachi is such an underrated gem! Do you have any places there you recommend? Hotel, cafes or otherwise?
