Osaka Trips & Tours

Get your fill of head-turning sights & gastronomic delights in Japan's third-largest city.
Known as the food capital of Japan, Osaka is a city that never sleeps - and that's not just because of the endless neon lights. Bustling shopping districts such as Shinsaibashi and Namba are home to row upon row of restaurants and street food stalls, ensuring you're never far from your next delicious meal. The city's iconic Dotonbori area is famous for its bright lights, giant mechanical crabs, and a vibrancy that rivals Tokyo's busiest districts. Let your tourist flag truly fly in Osaka Bay, where you can visit the massive Aquarium Kaiyukan and Universal Studios Japan. But there's more to Osaka than its boisterous urban atmosphere. Discover its historical side at Osaka Castle, one of Japan's most famous landmarks, or lose yourself in the tranquillity of the city's numerous parks and gardens.

While Osaka is famous for its head-spinning atmosphere, it's also a city steeped in history. And it's worth visiting some of the city's many shrines and temples to get a deeper understanding of Japan's spiritual heritage.
