Itinerary
Great way to start the tour by seeing how Japanese lived 150 ~ 400 years ago
We will walk the grounds, not the museum as it is horribly boring, and talk about the history of the area, check out the awesome moats and take in what a real Castle would go through in battle
We will stop by the oldest Shrine in Osaka and the 3rd oldest Shrine in Japan! It has a connection with the Castle that cannot be ignored! Talk Shinto and history.
We will stop by the oldest Temple in Osaka and the oldest registered Temple in Japan!!! Talk Buddhism and history.
Stop and have some local Kushikatsu and sake, along with two other stops, we will traverse this 'local-local' area.
We will head over to the 'heart of Osaka and see what all the fuss is about. We will hit three stops and try local food and Sake.

About Osaka
Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen, a big-hearted port city of neon canals, street food and a grand castle, with Kyoto, Nara and Kobe close by.
Dotonbori, the canal-side entertainment strip, is the city's beating heart, its giant mechanical crab and glowing billboards reflected in the water. Nearby, the covered arcades of Shinsaibashi and the kitchenware street of Doguyasuji draw shoppers, and Kuromon Market tempts with seafood, wagyu skewers and fruit.
Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
