About Osaka

Osaka is de keuken van Japan, een warmhartige havenstad met neonverlichte grachten, straatvoedsel en een groot kasteel, vlak bij Kyoto, Nara en Kobe.

Dotonbori, de uitgaansstrook langs het kanaal, is het kloppende hart van de stad, met zijn gigantische mechanische krab en gloeiende reclameborden die in het water weerspiegelen. Vlakbij trekken de overdekte winkelgalerijen van Shinsaibashi en Doguyasuji, de straat van het keukengerei, shoppers, en Kuromon Market verleidt met zeevruchten, wagyu-spiesjes en fruit.

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