Best things to do in Osaka
madeleineray (Madeleine Ray) Enjoy the center of Kansai culture, with the tasty world-famous Takoyaki available on every block, amazing shopping, and an enormous castle. Osaka is a city south of Tokyo that offers a completely different but equally amazing experience to the capital. This list gathers some of the best experiences that I had when visiting Osaka several times while living in Tokyo, these activities are truly unique to the Osakan culture and should be at the top of your to-do list.
