I'm sure a Google search for Osaka itineraries will yield plenty of videos and articles sharing experiences. Below is a short record of my first trip to Osaka. Feel free to share your experiences and recommend your favorite spots! I really want to go back again! Day 1: Kansai Airport - Hotel Check-in - Shinsaibashi ➡️I didn't buy train tickets from the airport to Namba online in advance because the Nankai Kyuko trains are frequent and convenient! ➡️On your first day in Osaka, head straight to Shinsaibashi and shop till you drop! D2: Shinsaibashi - Fushimi Inari Shrine - Nishiki Market - Kiyomizu-dera Temple - Sannenzaka - Ninenzaka - Yasaka Shrine - Gion - Hanamikoji Street - Dotonbori - Shinsaibashi ➡️Fushimi Inari Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple are incredibly crowded...it's a real leg workout! There are rows of bright orange torii gates, traditional Japanese architecture, and street vendors selling skewers and snacks. It's a sinful way to burn off energy and replenish your calories... ➡️Nishiki Market is narrow but packed with delicious food. Eat your way through every stall! D3: Shinsaibashi - Arashiyama - Kitano Tenmangu Shrine - Kinkaku-ji Temple - Shinsaibashi ➡️You can take the Keisei Train's Arashiyama sightseeing train. The carriages are decorated in a very Japanese style. Goo~ ➡️Kitano Tenmangu Shrine hosts the Tenjin Market on the 25th of every month, with the largest markets in January and December. February coincides with plum blossom season, making it quite lively. D4: Shinsaibashi - Kuromon Market - Osaka Castle/Osaka Keep - Tempozan Ferris Wheel - Tsutenkaku Observatory/Tower Sliding Platform - Shinsaibashi ➡️I recommend purchasing the Osaka Amazing Pass. With proper planning, you can visit several attractions and save on transportation and entrance fees. The Osaka Castle cruise, Ferris wheel, and observation deck offer a different perspective of Osaka. ➡️The plum grove outside Osaka Castle is a beautiful and fragrant expanse of plum blossoms. D5: Shinsaibashi - Universal Studios Japan - Shinsaibashi ➡️The earliest I got up that day, just as dawn was breaking... I headed out, but the Nintendo Park and Harry Potter Park were so much fun! Don't miss the parade! Day 6: Shinsaibashi - Kansai Airport Six days isn't enough! There are so many places in Uji, Nara, and Kobe I haven't been to yet. I'll save that for next time! #Osaka #Shinsaibashi #FushimiInariShatan #NishikiMarket #Arashiyama #Kyoto #KitanoTenmanguShrine #Kinkakuji #OsakaCastle #TempozanFerrisWheel #Tsutenkaku #UniversalStudiosOsaka
