Osaka: The kitchen of Japan

Book your visit to Osaka

Osaka is a Japanese city that is as lively as its neon lights. Known as Japan’s kitchen, this dynamic metropolis is renowned for its bold flavours, quirky neighbourhoods and rich history. Nestled along the country’s western coast, Osaka has it all. Roam through its busy city streets or discover the serene beauty of ancient sites and parks.

Explore iconic landmarks that symbolise Japan’s feudal past or lose yourself in modern districts that thrive on retail. Devour street food in Kita, soak in the electrifying atmosphere of Dotonbori, enjoy the thrill at a theme park or experience a unique summer festival during Tenjin Matsuri. Osaka is a treasure trove of places to eat and shop, sprinkled with a touch of adventure.

Things to do in Osaka

Osaka Castle is a must-visit when you’re in the city. A proud symbol of resilience, the castle was rebuilt in 1931 and is now surrounded by sprawling gardens and ancient moats. Walk through its halls and step back into Japan’s feudal era. Discover its significance in the unification of Japan during the shogunate era.

Explore Sumiyoshi Taisha’s distinctive architecture, found nowhere else in Japan. Take a stroll across the Sorihashi Bridge and admire the tranquility of your surroundings. Alternatively, visit Shitennō-ji, one of Japan’s oldest buildings, dating back to the 6th century. Don’t miss out on the Gokuraku-jodo Garden, where you can roam on the pebble-covered courtyard to soak in the reverent atmosphere.

For a truly awe-inspiring sight, head to the Mozu Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of Japan’s largest ancient burial grounds. These massive mounds are marvels of engineering.

No trip to Japan is complete without seafood. Head to Kuromon Market, which is packed with the fresh catches of the day. If you’re craving for a light snack, have some takoyaki, octopus-filled dough balls topped with a sweet, savoury sauce and bonito flakes.

For something truly iconic to Osaka, try okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake filled with cabbage, meat and seafood, grilled to perfection. For dessert, don’t miss Rikuro’s cheesecake. A fluffy, jiggly delight that melts in your mouth.
