FIRST TIME IN OSAKA (Japan’s Kitchen) 🇯🇵 Things to do + Eat

Osaka is one of the best places to visit in Japan, and in this video, we’re showing you the best things to do in Osaka in 36 hours! From must-see landmarks to off-the-beaten-path hidden gems, we’re making the most of our first time in Japan’s kitchen.

Of course, we visit the famous Osaka Castle and head into the heart of Dotonbori to experience the neon lights and street food scene. But Osaka is so much more than just its tourist spots—so we take you to Tenma, a neighborhood filled with local charm, and a viewpoint that’s even better than Umeda Sky Building! We also visit two stunning temples, stroll through a local market, and try some of Osaka’s best street food along the way.

If you’re planning your trip and looking for what to do in Osaka, things to see in Osaka, or where to eat in Osaka, this video has you covered.
