Start your holiday with a dive into the city’s history at Osaka Castle . Originally constructed in 1583 by the renowned warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi to unify Japan, this historic monument has been rebuilt several times, with the current main tower completed in 1931. The imposing tower stands 55 meters tall with five tiers and eight floors, adorned with striking gold decorations, including the iconic shachihoko (mythical sea creatures) on its roof. Inside, the castle operates as a museum showcasing historical artefacts, samurai armour, weapons, and multimedia exhibits detailing the castle’s role in Japanese history. Visitors can ascend to the 8th-floor observation deck for sweeping panoramic views of Osaka’s cityscape, including the Umeda Sky Building and surrounding landmarks. The expansive Osaka Castle Park, spanning over 100 hectares, surrounds the historic site and offers beautiful green spaces year-round. It’s a popular spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring and vibrant foliage in autumn.
Founded in 211 AD by the legendary Empress Jingū, the Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine is dedicated to the Sumiyoshi Sanjin, the trio of sea gods, along with the enshrined spirit of Empress Jingū herself. Historically, it played a crucial role in protecting Osaka’s port and the nearby old imperial capitals of Nara and Kyoto. Visitors are drawn to the shrine’s distinctive Sumiyoshi-zukuri architectural style, which predates the influence of Buddhism and features simple, straight-edged gable roofs. The shrine’s four main sanctuaries, built in 1810 and designated as National Treasures, exemplify this unique style. The serene grounds include the iconic red Sorihashi Bridge, beautiful gardens, and cultural monuments, creating a peaceful atmosphere ideal for reflection and spiritual connection.

Osaka entices food lovers with its vibrant restaurant scene, where an eclectic mix of international flavours intertwines, inviting diners on a mouthwatering journey of culinary fusion. Established in 1988, Abeno Takoyaki Yamachan has earned a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand recognition for its deliciously crafted takoyaki that features a perfectly crispy exterior and amazingly gooey inside. The restaurant prides itself on its special batter made from a broth simmered with around ten types of fresh fruits and vegetables, combined with kombu and bonito dashi, creating a uniquely flavorful base that distinguishes its takoyaki. Guests often enjoy the classic takoyaki without any toppings to savour the original flavour. Popular variations include the “Young B” style—topped with soy sauce and mayonnaise—and the goma-shio (sesame oil and salt) version for a subtle yet addictive twist. Adding extra negi (Japanese scallions) is highly recommended. For a hearty alternative, Okonomiyaki Mizuno has built a reputation for its expertly crafted savoury Japanese pancakes, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its consistently delicious offerings. Specialities include the classic “Miduno-yaki,” a mixed okonomiyaki with generous portions of scallops, pork, and shrimp, and the “Yamaimo-yaki,” which uses grated Japanese yam instead of flour for a softer, unique texture. Other favourites are the “Modan-yaki,” a modern style of okonomiyaki made with yakisoba noodles, and the “Yoshoku-yaki,” a family recipe passed down through generations. The menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, making it accessible to diverse diners.
