About Osaka

Osaka, detta la cucina del Giappone, è una generosa città portuale di canali al neon, cibo di strada e un grande castello, vicino a Kyoto, Nara e Kobe.

Dotonbori, la striscia di divertimenti lungo il canale, è il cuore pulsante della città, con il suo granchio meccanico gigante e le insegne luminose che si riflettono nell'acqua. Nei dintorni, le gallerie coperte di Shinsaibashi e la strada degli utensili da cucina di Doguyasuji richiamano chi fa acquisti, e il mercato di Kuromon tenta con frutti di mare, spiedini di wagyu e frutta.

Top-ranked sights in Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka Castle (Osaka-jo), Nara Park (Nara Koen).
