2 Days in Osaka | Travel Like a Shōgun (Osaka Castle)
Osaka. It’s a city that thrives on contradictions—fast and pristine public transit shuttles the masses between modern towers that cast shadows over a rich and complex history that’s seen it all, from the Shogun’s siege to the city’s eventual rebirth.
But I’m not just here for the history. I’m on the hunt for some good eats.
