A brief introduction to Osaka

A bustling metropolis that combines neon lights and towering skyscrapers with a storied cultural heritage and culinary delights, Osaka has plenty to offer those who visit.

Start your trip with a visit to the vibrant Dotonbori district, which features an abundance of restaurants and high-end retail spaces, all of which is influenced by Japan’s unique pop culture. Here, you can take photos of the city’s famed neon lights and colourful billboards while enjoying a stroll along the river.

Osaka is renowned for its culinary scene and is aptly nicknamed ‘the nation’s kitchen’. Thousands of restaurants - with everything from tucked-away ‘izakayas’ (small Japanese bars serving food) to world class Michelin star restaurants - can be found in the city. We recommend sampling some of Osaka’s local specialties such as ‘takoyaki’ (golden deep-fried octopus balls) and ‘okonomiyaki’ (a savoury pancake dish).

A historic port city and the gateway to western Japan, Osaka has plenty to offer history lovers, including the iconic 450-year-old Osaka Castle and Sumiyoshi Taisha shrine – one of the oldest shrines in the country.
