Things to Do in Osaka

Start your Osaka holidays off right by grabbing a bite after you arrive. You won’t lack for options. Every sort of international cuisine can be found here. From world class restaurants to humble teppanyaki stands, the traditional food is also delicious and presented beautifully. Not sure what you’ve ordered? Try it anyway. Chances are it’s amazing. Besides, it’ll help fuel your adventures through the city. In fact, let it inspire your trip to the kitschy Instant Ramen Museum or Kaiyukan, one of the biggest aquariums in the world. Japan is famous for its seafood, after all, though the critters here are all safe from the sushi block.

Take some time to breathe while visiting the peaceful Sumiyoshi Shrine, one of the oldest examples of Shinto architecture in Japan. You’ll find this restful attraction and others like it all over Osaka. You’ll be happy to find them after a day spent blazing through the Shinsaibashi shopping district or barracking on the Hanshin Tigers if you’re lucky enough to catch a game during the season. Treat yourself to a massage and some time in the sauna at one of the city’s high-end spas. Afterward, retreat to one of our Osaka hotels so you can catch some well-earned Zs after dancing and drinking for hours in Kitashinchi or Dotonbori, the centre of nightlife here.
