Exploring Osaka

Osaka is a city with rich historical background. The majestic Osaka Castle is one of the top three castles in Japan. It was established by the famous general of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which is a local spiritual symbol. Today, the Tenshu tower is rebuilt as a museum displaying Japan's turbulent times and glory of the past, and the vast parkland around Osaka Castle has become an ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

With the progress of history, over the past century Osaka has developed into a paradise of gourmets and shopping. Starting from Namba, Dotonbori and all the way to Shinsaibashi, where the top battle zone of shopping locates, you can enjoy shopping among drug stores, fashion stores, gift shops, and shopping centers. Then you can visit Ichiran Ramen, New World Kushikatsu Daruma, and Kani Doraku for a great feast, and don't forget, the Glico Running Man sign is the iconic classic landmark not to be missed. The American Village on the west side is a hub for fashion and trends that sell antiques, accessories, and imported clothing that is popular among young people.
