Top things to do in Osaka

Discover Osaka’s history at Osaka Castle. This reconstructed castle is set amongst the towering skyscrapers of the business district. After a picnic in Osaka Castle Park, you can continue learning about the city’s past at the nearby Osaka Museum of History. Then walk across the beautiful Sorihashi Bridge and visit the Sumiyoshi Shrine, one of Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines. Known for its unique architecture, this shrine dates back to the 3^rd century. Afterwards, step back in time to the Edo Period when you discover the Open-Air Museum of Old Farmhouses at Ryokuchi Park. If you visit when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, stroll along the cherry blossom tunnel road at the Japan Mint.

Food in Osaka

Start your culinary adventure in Dotonbori. Visit a sushi restaurant and sample the Battera, a rectangular sushi. You must try the Okonomiyaki. These savoury fried cabbage cakes are the ultimate Japanese comfort food. When you pass a street vendor, ask for the Takoyaki – fried dumplings with octopus.
