Osaka is a must for every itinerary in Japan. This city has a very different energy compared to Tokyo, considered to be the foodie capital of the country and home to many historical monuments. If you are coming here for the first time, I would recommend staying a minimum of 3 days so you can explore off the beaten track as well (I’ll get into that in my next video), but in this video I wanted to feature some of the absolute musts for visiting the city. Hope you enjoy the video and let me know what some of your favorite places are in Osaka!

The travel health insurance I use – PassportCard Nomads: https://www.passportcardnomads.com/?ref=alinamcleod
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don’t have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they’re especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

おかえり〜！！🎉welcome back !
You are super talented unique personality in demand and you must visit India and explore its diverse culture and heritage.
I was at Osaka the last month… In the Osaka Castle, Did you seen the big wall in the main entrance?…. More older than the castle.
i love japan i visited in 2011 before all the troubles .
あなたの英語は聞き取りやすいです。一年半留学経験後、30年まともに英語に関わってなかったのですが半分以上聞き取りできました。さすがに字幕無しではすべて理解できないぐらいまで聞き取る能力は落ちてましたが。
Hi madam good morning to you I'm happy to see you good health and safe God Bless yuo all ways
日本は観光にはいいけど外国人が住むのは簡単ではないよね
仕事面も含めて
Please venture into the country side, that is were you will find the real beauty of Japan. Also, the big cities have little spots of tranquility that are usually missed by most of the youtubers. Please do try to find them. I have never been to Japan but hope to be there one day. In the meantime I just subscribed hoping you can take us on that journey! All the best.
Dotonbori and Tennoji are tourist attractions.
The original Tokyo-like cityscape of Osaka is the area around Osaka Station and the Kita Ward area, which includes Umeda, Nakanoshima, Yodoyabashi, and Kitahama.
It is the most flourishing place where historic buildings and modern architecture blend.
The population of Osaka is not 3 million. 8.8 million people.
Population dropped to 3rd place, but economy size and city size remained 2nd place.
Harukas also has a Marriott Hotel, so the view from the room at night is even more spectacular than during the day.
Many of Japan's famous foods come from Osaka.
Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, conveyor belt sushi, kushikatsu, kitsune udon, omelet rice, hormones, the list goes on and on. This is the reason why it is called the kitchen of Japan. It is the home of delicious food and is overflowing.
It is ranked in the top 10 of the world's most livable towns, and it is above Tokyo.
There are more tourist attractions than there. Zoos, 70's Expo City, aquariums, world heritage emperor's tombs, ancient tombs, even though it's a big city, you can see mountains, waterfalls, and autumn leaves in 20 minutes by train.
and so on
It took half a century to make it in Osaka,
Aigawa Dam will open in 2023.
Japan's longest suspension bridge, bungee jumping,
There are also facilities for water activities.
No other city has such an environment.
Now, Osaka Station is also built underground, and it is a hot topic right now because it is full of near-future high-tech facilities for the first time in the world.
In Osaka, the world's largest park directly connected to a station is also under construction. In 2025, the second World Expo will be held in Osaka. Please come again.
You speak attractive English.
"ВЕРНУЛАСЬ" пишется с "мягким знаком". "ОСТАЛАСЬ" тоже пишется с мягким знаком. Но всё равно спасибо за публикацию заглавий на русском. ❤
I have been to Japan many times. It is OK but Japanese politicians and their history are just too evil. Most people are friendly.
おかえり！！！

アベノハルカス
for me, dotonbori at night always reminds me of Hong Kong. Because both have vitality! thanks for fun video!
love your documentary video.Its amazing country
Hi Alina! As a travel enthusiast, I totally agree that Osaka is a must-visit city in Japan. It's always fascinating to explore different parts of the country, and Osaka's vibrant food culture and historical landmarks make it a great destination. I can't wait to visit it by myself and you got awesome insider tips on what to do and see while I'm there. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to our city, Osaka. Recommended is Osaka Tenmangu Shrine in Minamimorimachi and croquettes near it.
Most of my relatives are in Tokyo but one moved here so now I'm spending at least a week or two in Osaka. hahaha! it's so true, Osaka people are natural born comedians,… I had to ask directions from the locals and they were so funny ! (^_^) … fun fact: to get really good views of Osaka Castle, go to the history museum and use the stairs (instead of the elevator)
Plum blossoms, which resemble cherry blossoms, are in full bloom around February, earlier than cherry blossoms.
What's the name of the building with the observatory?
Hiii👋 Alina✌ welcome back in Japan🔴Most beeauuutiiifuuuul County in world💘 Sooooo wonderful video❤❤❤
Octopus tastes better if eaten as sashimi (sliced) or boiled whole piece (tentacle)
On top of Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki is not fish skin. It's Katsuobushi (dry bonito flake).
Japan also my favorite city ☺️🫶
Dude, that area looks safer than “nice” places I’ve lived in my own city 😮 if it’s cheap I’ll find a rental there until I figure out what I’m doing 😅
