11 days in Osaka Itinerary

Proud of their hometown's distinct culture and dialect, many natives of Osaka describe their city as "Japan's anti-capital." An antidote to Tokyo's hectic energy, Osaka marches to the beat of its own drum, serving as the country's longtime commercial and industrial hub.

Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Osaka: Nakagyo (Nijo Castle & Nishiki Market Shopping District), Higashiyama (Kiyomizu-dera Temple & Sanjusangendo Temple) and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine (in Fushimi). The adventure continues: find something for the whole family at Universal Studios Japan, wander the streets of Dotonbori, don't miss a visit to Gion, and have some family-friendly fun at Sunset Owl Cafe.
