Osaka
Osaka is a city that celebrates Japan’s past while always looking to the future. Ascend the Umeda Sky Building for views of the area and you’ll see one of the oldest shrines in Japan and a perfectly preserved Shogunate palace standing regally alongside glowing neon lights and ultra-modern architecture. Though often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour Kyoto, Osaka’s cultural sights come with an added level of authenticity, so that your time spent here will be a taste of real Japan.
Perhaps the best way to experience Osaka is to travel through time, starting deep in the past before experiencing the thrills of the city as it is today. Begin beneath the tiered pagoda of Shitenno-ji Temple, which dates back to the 1st century A.D., for an insight into Japan’s spiritual history. Other shrines, such as Sumiyoshi Taisha and Ohatsu Tenjin, add to the city’s pervasive spirituality.
Osaka Palace, a 16th-century structure in beautiful, tree-lined grounds, is another essential heritage attraction, while the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living recreates what the city might have looked like in bygone eras. Browse museums dedicated to art, ceramics and ethnology to further enhance your cultural understanding of Japan.
Present-day Osaka, buzzing with advertisements, noisy markets and restless businesspeople, offers a panoply of entertainment for visiting groups. Plummet down film-themed rides at Universal Studios Japan or get up close to a shark in the Aquarium Kaiyukan. At night, you can watch traditional bunraku or kabuki theatre, or join thousands in stadiums singing along to world-famous bands and cheering on baseball teams.
As the birthplace of the sushi conveyor belt and the home of night markets overflowing with Japanese delicacies, Osaka is probably most famous for its food scene. For a full gastronomic experience of the city, you’ll have to try a little bit of everything. Local favourites include shredded cabbage pancakes (okonomiyaki) and fried octopus balls (takoyaki). Such is the reverence for food here that Osaka even has its own phrase, kuidaore, which means to eat yourself into ruin.
In order to cope with a large population – the second biggest in Japan – Osaka has developed an extensive public transport network that connects the whole city. Buy an Osaka Amazing Pass, which gets you onto subway and private rail lines, as well as access into some of the city’s main attractions. Similarly, the Enjoy Eco Card gives you unlimited travel on the subway and buses for the day. Osaka comes to life at night, when it’s best to walk around the neon-lit streets, snacking and shopping your way through its markets and arcades.
