TRAVEL GUIDE
Osaka
Dotonbori food streets and Osaka Castle history
Enjoy the food and lively streets of Dotonbori and Namba, then explore Osaka Castle and its surrounding park. Osaka also makes a practical urban base for wider Kansai travel. Pick a few neighborhoods instead of treating the city’s many districts as one walking route.
