Our honest take on Osaka

Osaka feels more casual and immediate than Kyoto or Tokyo. It is one of the easiest cities to enjoy because the energy is fun, the food is everywhere and you do not need a huge plan to have a great time. If you love eating and want a city that feels lively without being too formal, Osaka is a really good fit.
