Places to Visit in Osaka

Sleep in Namba or Umeda. The castle is a metro hop. Hiroshima is the next Shinkansen, not a neighbourhood.

Hover a pin on the map for a short preview of each attraction — the same places listed below.

Osaka Castle Osaka Castle Park, moat, and keep — sakura if your dates allow; the interior is optional. Umeda Umeda Station hub and Umeda Sky Building — the 170 m floating-garden view. Namba & Dotonbori Namba & Dotonbori The food and neon belt — stay here if evenings matter. Kuromon Ichiba Kuromon Ichiba Morning market — combine with the castle, not a late kushikatsu crawl. Shinsekai Shinsekai Tsutenkaku and kushikatsu — older, cheaper Osaka south of Namba.
