Bhavna Venkat thanks! 😊

[@jonam7476]

can i visit all of these in one day? thanks

[@prajnagandhi485]

@@jonam7476 mabye over two days, one day would be tight. (It also depends on lines)

[@sharvind8952]

Japan guide is really giving some fantastic videos about Japan..it's very helpful.. Everytime I watch your video guide about Japan it makes me feel I want to visit Japan...will definitely visit one day...love Japan from India 😘😘😘

[@Lucifer-nf4uq]

Love Japan , will come revisit again this amazing country

[@FGH9G]

Dotonbori, especially the Glico Running Man ad is featured in one of my favorite movies ever, Black Rain (1989), directed by Ridley Scott, and is in fact one of his earliest movies and definitely one of his most underrated. :)

[@Lisiecky]

Andrew Marston I love your work. I'm very happy that you are making these videos for Japan Guide because that's my favorite site about Japan. I planned my whole trip in 2016 based on informations from this site.

[@japanguide]

Thanks for the kind words! Hope your trip was good. - Andrew

[@red_other_green]

大阪人としてお礼申し上げます。個人的には天神橋筋商店街をおすすめします。メイン通りは勿論、そこから路地に入っていけば別世界があっちこっちに。 I give thanks as a person from Osaka. I recommend Tenjinbashi line mall personally. If, let alone a main street, go into the alley from there; another world in many places.

[@LordArioh]

Nanba district with Shinsekai and Dotonbori was my favorite in whole Osaka. As well as it was my second favorite city in Japan after Kyoto, followed by Tokyo.

[@ants08031236414]

What an irony! During the 80s, that area, especially around Tsutenkaku was so scary! I never dared to walk around there even during daytime.

[@大阪人-h3f]

Always big welcome to OSAKA!! From Osaka-Japanese.

[@icyliciousblue]

Don't forget to visit Spa World when you visit Shinsekai. It's a big nice to rest and relax.

[@cakeswithfaces]

Can't wait to visit Osaka for the first time this spring! Heard a lot of good things about the food.

[@lourinesingh343]

[@frempy4426]

Soooo how was it??

[@cakeswithfaces]

@@frempy4426 Loved it! Took me completely by surprise - such a lively, fun city with so much going on. Videos all in a playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PL-YXkErUfa4lp0DI-_t1QYvG-20ToUNoJ

You can also go to Universal Studio and Nintendo World near Universal City station 💗👍

I miss osaka so much

[@trizvanov]

Having just cancelled my trip to Osaka (again... sight), this video felt like such a tease. Still, gives me more opportunities to add more items to my ever-growing itinerary! Thank you. :)

[@japanguide]

Hope you will have the best time in Osaka once you are able to go!

[@pitsihno]

I spent two weeks in Japan during cherry blossom this year and your website helped me so much. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to return again next year. For your next video could you do Kamakura or Nara? Both are fantastic.

[@japanguide]

These are good ideas! Nara is on our list for sure.

[@Lawol]

Been living in Osaka prefecture for almost 9 months now. Delicious food, friendly people, love it !

[@lalilulelo]

I'm visiting Osaka this November!

[@glenn8452]

I'll be there this October! Happy travels!

[@jamestay8222]

I wish I can go there one day. Damn the COVID-19...and the hell load of work.

[@vlo4829]

Oh, I remember the "old" Osaka Station. It was dirty and disgusting and unnecessarily confusing. It's much nicer now. They just need to get more trains or figure out how to better manage the crowds along the Tokaido Line, particularly those running towards Kyoto/Maibara. It just keeps getting more and more crowded year after year...

[@vonzerpa]

Very nice video ....informative and to the point. While Osaka Station is impressive ( I visited Japan , Osaka in particular twice last year), in my experience if you visit Japan you will spend PLENTY enough time schlepping through massive busy train stations and most likely will not find the need to see another .....just a thought.

[@jenromero3665]

This video has convinced me to go visit Osaka on my trip to Japan! Can't wait to taste all that delicious food! I'm gonna check out the other videos as well before I go :D

[@jenromero3665]

@Toxic Nerd Honestly, I can't be bothered. I've been to Japan three times by now, and I was living the dream, even studied their for a semester. I hope you find even a glimpse of the happiness I experienced, so you can stop posting sad and unnecessary replies to harmless comments that triggered you for some reason lmao. Have a good day, nerdy.

[@jenromero3665]

@Toxic Nerd I said HAVE A GOOD DAY, NERDY LMAO

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Can't wait to go back this year, its been about 12 years since I last visited lol

[@overdose4154]

Welcome to Osaka!!! Have a good time😎

[@Gantade]

Just came back from Kyoto and Osaka....both are amazing. Also booked another flight to Osaka again this Christmas haha there are just so many places to visit in both places that you have to go back again and again :)

[@colorguard88]

I loved the video! I do have a question, would it be easier to set a home base in Osaka and do day trips to Nara, Kyoto, and Kobe?

[@japanguide]

Using Osaka as a base to see those other places sounds like a good plan.

[@NemesisN4Sir]

Osaka was awesome. Will be back soon.

[@osakameetup]

#6. Meet and talk to locals in English. Join a meetup.

[@diypranks2476]

love japan and soon hope to live there after enough preparing thanks for the facts you should keep making them.

[@lesliandjimmy]

Thank you for the extremely helpful video Andrew! I agree with everything! The Umeda Sky Building is a definite must visit - one of the nicest observatory that I have visited. I would highly recommend investing in the Osaka Amazing Pass. Free admission the umeda sky building is included. Also, the HEP five ferris wheel is a short walk away and is also nice too. The ride wasnt as long as I hope but the experience is a must and is included in the osaka amazing pass! Last but not least, Dotonbori can not be missed. It is the heart of japan food culutre! Lots of venders tempted me to emptied my pocket and pigged out.

[@japanguide]

Thanks for the comment! Great recommendations. Sounds like you found the Osaka Amazing Pass to be worthwhile investment.

[@TTR002]

I was in Namba last year 😂😂😂 Pro tip: Never go there late at night. Finding a place for dining was a pain in the *s 😂😂😂 And we were backpackers, not looking for any shiny restaurant. Beside that, everything was fun & fun only.

Great video, I would love a top 5 for Kobe!!

+Anna Sato good idea Anna!

[@Satish.Kumar521]

Is it my eyes or is it really that the places in Osaka look like painting? They look absolutely wonderful and hard to believe that such places do exist. Arigato Gozaimasu for this one 🙏 🙇

[@audreyang123]

perfect intro! thanks!

[@Tan92lfc]

Watched the video prior to Osaka visit. Osaka Station City was an impressive urban planning site, I make sure I went up to Sky Garden/Deck.

[@fathiassalafy]

i've ever been there for last two visits, except kaiyukan :')

[@gato7908]

sumiyoshi taisha is on my list when I visit Osaka ... I'm surprised it didn't make your list 🤔

[@japanguide]

A good pick indeed! The famous bridge there can actually be seen at 0:14 of the video. Choosing only 5 things for Osaka was quite diificult. Sumiyoshi Taisha was definitely on the list for consideration and is certainly a worthwhile location. Thanks for the recommendation!

I have a 13-hr layover in Osaka when I travel to Japan in August. Will the train take me there or taxi? Thanks and great vid!!

[@japanguide]

Of course taxis are always an option, but most likely trains will get you where you want to go in the city. Here is a video we made about how to get to Osaka from Kansai International Airport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2S4omqdeK9jmNU

HOW WOULD IT COMPARE TO SENDAI , JAPAN ?

[@japanguide]

Sendai is a smaller city, but still has a lot to offer. Also from Sendai it's easy to take side trips around the Tohoku region. If you're interested, here is more information on Sendai: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5150.html

[@alexledermann1397]

You meant Shin-Osaka Station or just Osaka Station?

[@japanguide]

Osaka Station. In 2011 it was re-opened after undergoing significant renovations. Now it is quite nice. Here is more info: www.japan-guide.com/e/e4020.html

I wouldn't visit an aquarium, they have these all over the world, why would you go to Japan to do something you can do back home?

[@tranquilbakergentletraveller]

Have you heard the saying "if you've seen one, you've seen them all"? It's quite true. But Osaka Castle and the food do sound good to me.

Osaka is a great place to live in but a bit boring to visit. People and day to day are awesome but it is indeed lacking on the touristy attractions.

[@zaviusfirerave]

That sounds contradictory. They are proud of being down to earth?

[@sandymoonstone855]

I don't know if you have been in osaka.... but there are better thing to do than go to the aquarium or the train station....

[@actng]

most people tend to goto osaka station anyway, when visiting osaka

[@maylewis2421]

Like what?

[@jryn007]

LOL After watch this I thought my recommendation for Osaka if this is your first trip to japan and already have Tokyo in your itinerary would be .... just skip Osaka and spend more time in Kyoto or Himeji (for it's castle)

:O hahha Like it

[@elmalanmalan2175]

I allways tell people go to Osaka way better than Tokyo. why? the people are down to earth not like uptight and fake Tokyo people.

[@markylon]

So looks like the Top 5 things are. Aquarium, you can do this anywhere in the world. Boring Shops, ok, so you can shop anywhere in the world, Boring Station, Looks like any international station, Boring Castle, does look interesting, worth seeing Shopping, again you can do this anywhere. You have NOT convinced me to visit Osaka. Looks boring according to these top 5.

[@hellosun8965]

The pronunciation of Osaka should be All-Sa-Ka, not O-Sa-Ka.

[@monicaant.1422]

No it's oh-sa-ka in English but in japanese it's written oosaka 大阪 (おおさか)

[@dunnobutwayne]

dont go to aquariums

[@paraic9163]

i stopped after seeing 40% of your recommendations are an aquarium and a train station...

[@mrbHanoi]

Yokohama much bigger than Osaka
