Things To Do In Osaka
Our list of the best things to do in Osaka give you a quick but comprehensive overview so you can make the most of your time in the city, with links for more details on each of the Osaka attractions listed.
Best Soba in Osaka
Japanese cuisine has a number of fabulous noodles worth eating when you’re visiting the country. Soba, or buckwheat noodles, is one of the most popular around.
Osaka Aquarium
Osaka Aquarium is one of the city’s premier attractions, and one of the best aquariums in the world. It does come with a slightly expensive price tag, but we think it’s worth it. Just be prepared for crowds.
Tennoji and Abeno Area
Osaka’s third major downtown hub, Tennoji, is rapidly transforming from a seedy retro wasteland into a happening urban center. The soaring new Abeno Harukas tower is only one of the many interesting sights here.
