Visita Osaka

Namba

4,5 km dal centro città

Hit your funny bone at Namba Grand Kagetsu, where famous comedians take centre stage. Osaka’s show biz is the country’s largest and it tends toward the comedic. Subverting Japanese stereotypes, these locals are far from shy. Head to the red lantern-lined streets and eat your way through this district to find out why Osaka’s called “Japan’s stomach.”

Dotonbori

3,9 km dal centro città

Larger than life crustaceans and illuminated ads– sound appealing? Then you’ll love Osaka’s nightlife–surreal, chaotic and too trendy for its own good. Festive lights reflect in the Dotonbori-gawa canal to create a neon ambiance. Don’t leave without eating a hot octopus ball (takoyaki) from Kukuru Takoyaki, they’re kind of a big deal.

Shin Osaka

3,2 km dal centro città

Osaka’s gateway, Shin Osaka whisks travellers to Kyoto and beyond via the Shinkansen (bullet train). Entertainment and shopping options are sparse, but the sleepy town’s a favourite among locals seeking to be near the hubbub of Kita, but far enough for some privacy.

Umeda

In centro

Trendsetters tip your hat to Umeda’s funky fashion. There’s enough in this urban maze to delight all stripes, no matter what colour your collar. Photograph your way through the Floating Garden Observatory or get even higher by tempting a turn on the HEP Five Ferris Wheel that’s perched atop a building. Hello, stunning Ikoma Mountain view.

Kita

In centro

Punch the clock alongside Osaka’s busiest. This transport hub buzzes with worker bees. But the 9-5ers know how to let loose after hours. Eat or imbibe at Dojima Center and satiate your retail cravings away from the sun in one of Kita’s underground malls. For luck in future travels, as well as love, head to Tsuyunoten Shrine.

Shinsaibashi

3,5 km dal centro città

Shinsaibashi is synonymous with shopping. High-fashion brands like Prada predominate on Midosuji Street, while Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Center has a peppering of boutiques between its box shops. Pinch a penny by purchasing a bento box in the basement of Daimaru Department Store and eat al fresco on the roof.

Minami

4,4 km dal centro città

Hang with the thespians. From kabuki (dance-drama) to bunraku (Japanese puppet theatre) to comedy plays, this area scratches the entertainment itch. Once better known for its seedy charm and colourful nature, cultural shifts show this as a new hipster hangout. Peruse Kuromon Ichiba market for some fresh sashimi and strawberry mochi.
