Ahhh Osaka, a refreshing breather from Tokyo’s intense energy. If you're the kind of traveller that likes to experience a place like a local rather than skipping in between tourist spots, add Osaka to your travel itinerary, stat. A haven for foodies, Osaka is home to alleyways, known as ‘Yokocho’, that are lined by tiny Izakaya pubs, bars and sip spots that beg to be explored. In your travels, you may come across the expression ‘kuidaore’, often interpreted to mean ‘eat until you drop’, which is a very real possibility here. Got little ones in tow? Osaka’s slightly slower pace makes it a popular choice for family holidays, while those who seek to immerse themselves in Japan’s culture and heritage will appreciate Osaka’s ornate Japanese architecture, the awe-inspiring Osaka Castle and pristine Japanese gardens. No trip to Osaka is complete without visiting Dotonbori Street, where you’ll be bombarded with bright neon lights, over-the-top signage and more restaurants and bars than you could ever possibly experience first-hand.

It depends, how much eating and drinking can you do in a week? If you’re after just the highlights reel, you’ll need at least a couple of days here. If you’re after the true Osaka experience, you’ll want to linger a little longer.
What to pack depends a lot on what time of year you are travelling, so best to do some specific seasonal research before stuffing your suitcase. As a general guide you’ll want cash and credit cards, a SIM card or portable Wi-Fi, electrical adapter, comfortable shoes and your appetite.
As much as we love planning the big things (you could even say it’s our specialty), there’s something truly magical about exploring a new city with an open agenda and empty stomach. We guarantee you’ll find a way to fill both, fast.
