Osaka’s Best Green Spaces
Just a generation ago, the words Osaka and green were rarely used in the same sentence. Things have all changed now, as we run through the best grassy lawns in and around the city.
How to Get to Osaka and Osaka Airport Transport
Osaka is served by two airports – Kansai for international flights and Itami for domestic. Here are all the details for transport options.
Northern Osaka
There are several great attractions in northern Osaka, including the superb Open-Air Museum of Japanese Farmhouses and the lovely Minoh Falls. But best of all is the brilliant collection of sights at Expo City/Banpaku Memorial Park.
