Likewise, if you’ve got an early flight out of one of these airports, you can get more sleep if you stay nearby. Here are the most convenient hotels to these airports.
Osaka Shopping
Osaka is one of the greatest shopping cities in Asia, if not the world. Many people come here just to shop. Here’s everything you need to know on what and where to buy.
Namba Yasaka Shrine
If you visit just one shrine in the Namba district, make it Namba Yasaka Shrine (Namba Yasaka-jinja). Its enormous lion head-shape building and cherry blossom trees dotted around the shrine grounds make it one of Osaka’s most distinctive places of worship.
