Popular Areas in Osaka

Dotonbori in the Namba district is a lively entertainment area that is popular among tourists and locals alike. Stretching along the Dotonbori canal, the area is known as a food destination that offers local dishes like takoyaki and okonomiyaki at reasonable prices. Dotonbori is best visited at night, when it is lit up with colorful neon signs including the iconic Glico Man and the gigantic mechanical crab in front of Kani Doraku restaurant.

Dotonbori

This landmark was formerly built as Honganji Temple on 1496. Despite being burned back in 1580, the temple was rebuilt with its original design. With its authentic structure, Osaka Castle is modernized on the inside as it is a museum with dioramas and artifacts about its history. On top of that, visitors can also see a panoramic view from the top of Osaka Castle, enjoying spring hanami at Nishinomaru park, or board the Gozabune tour ship.

Osaka Castle (Osakajo)

Shinsaibashi has been a shopping district for 380 years since the Edo period. Stretching 580 meters from Dotonbori to Nagahori Dori, this covered market has grown rapidly to include at least 180 shops, making it one of the most popular shopping streets for both tourists and locals living in Osaka. Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade is packed with an array of shops selling everything from clothing and souvenirs to Japanese food and cosmetics.

Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade 

Completed in 1993, Umeda Sky Building consists of two futuristic towers containing offices and a food street inspired by the 1920s Showa period. The twin towers are connected by a "floating garden" observatory that offers 360-degree views of Osaka from 173 meters above ground. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, architect of the Kyoto Station, the building also features a glass-enclosed elevator and escalator that takes visitors to the top while enjoying unparalleled views of the city.

Umeda Sky Building 

Founded in the 10th century, Osaka Tenmangu is an important Shinto shrine dedicated to the Heian-period scholar, Sugawara Michizane. The shrine was destroyed by fire several times, but now it stands majestically as the venue of the Tenjin Matsuri festival held every July. The shrine's location, in the middle of office buildings and near the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, makes it a great place to quickly get away from Osaka's hustle and bustle.
