Visit Osaka, Japan

Osaka is almost like Tokyo’s fun-loving younger brother with a definite taste for all the good things in life. It has an easy-going swagger and a vibrant street life.

Osaka

Japan

Osaka is almost like Tokyo’s fun-loving younger brother (although it is in fact Japan’s third city, after Yokohama), with a definite taste for all the good things in life.

It may not be the one of the world’s most beautiful cities, but it has an easy-going swagger and a vibrant street life.

Exploring Osaka

Dominating the heart of the city is the handsomely restored Osaka-jo castle, although if you ask a local what characterises their city, they would be sure to mention the wonderful local cuisine, including takoyaki (fried, battered octopus)
