Osaka Travel Guide | Neon Streets, Craft Beer, and Takoyaki
đ Osakaâs energy is unmatched! Join us for 48 hours as we dive into neon streets, hidden izakayas, and unforgettable food and beer spots! đŠđș
We kicked things off in Dotonbori, Osakaâs vibrant hub of street food and neon lights. From taking selfies with the Glico Man to spotting the iconic waving crab, this area is pure magic. Pro tip: Always look up!
Next up, we visited the PokĂ©mon Center, a nostalgic wonderland where we left with more Pikachus than planned. Itâs like stepping into a PokĂ© Ball full of memoriesâand merch!
For our beer lovers, we grabbed a Vertere beer from iiie, the perfect companion while strolling Osakaâs streets. This Tokyo-area brewery brings a touch of Okutama to the Kansai vibe.
We couldnât miss WCB Dark Lab, a craft beer haven from Shizuokaâs West Coast Brewing. The beers here are so fresh and diverse, it feels like they brewed them just for you. And we even learned about a craft beer festival the next day here: Craft Beer Holiday
For a true taste of Osaka, we explored the backstreets of Namba for a night of izakayas and okonomiyaki. If youâre not slightly lost in these neon-lit alleys, youâre doing it wrong!
The beer journey continued at Arca-Archa Beer Bar, where the brews are so good, they might outshine the foodâthough we couldnât resist pairing them with some snacks.
And of course, takoyaki! We stopped at Akaoni, a Michelin Guide-approved spot serving crispy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside perfection. Move over, French cuisineâOsakaâs got this!
We wrapped up our trip with a visit to the Sayamaike Museum, an architectural gem celebrating Japanâs oldest dam, and savored a farewell pint of KIX Beer at Kansai Airportâa perfect goodbye to an unforgettable city.
âš Bonus tip: Donât leave Osaka without trying a Vertere beerâit pairs perfectly with the cityâs vibe.
