One-day trip to Osaka. ☀️Visit the castle tower, Tsutenkaku, and Shinsaibashi Glico sign
Traveling in Osaka, Japan, one day is too tight. I only selected three points: Osaka Castle Tower, Tsutenkaku, and Shinsaibashi Glico billboard. If you have more time, you can also check in at Umeda Sky Building, Tennoji and other places. The existing castle tower was rebuilt for the third time. Osaka Castle Park is free, but you need to buy a ticket to climb the tower. It introduces Toyotomi Hideyoshi's deeds in the form of a museum. You can enjoy the city of Osaka on the top floor (P4). If you are not interested, you can just walk around and check in in the park. You can buy an electronic ticket on Xcheng to avoid queuing. There are many restaurants near Tsutenkaku, and it is more photogenic. You need to buy a ticket to climb the tower, and you can buy a ticket on the spot. The Glico billboard is in the Dotonbori-Shinsaibashi business district. You can check in while shopping, but there are really a lot of people at night (Picture 18). The city's transportation is mainly trams and subways. It is very convenient to swipe the card directly into the station by binding Apple Pay to the Suica card, but Japan's public transportation is really complicated. There are many detailed guides on the Internet. Please take a closer look.There are many famous snacks in Osaka, such as Okonomiyaki, octopus balls, fried skewers, and wagashi, etc., which are available near Tsutenkaku and along the Shinsaibashi-Dotonbori line. We only had two meals, Kani Doraku and Wagyu Yakiniku, and we didn't have enough stomach for snacks. Kani Doraku recommends having lunch. We ordered the most expensive lunch special set meal, 5940 yen per person (Picture 6). A similar dinner costs 7000+, so it is recommended to go for lunch. There are many Wagyu Yakiniku restaurants. I chose one with a good rating on Google map (Pictures 10-13). It was not a pitfall. The price was normal and the taste was good, but it was really a bit greasy after eating too much. Two people ordered a 7000+ Wagyu platter, a 2000+ beef tongue platter, and three wagyu sushi. If you scan the code and give a good review, you can get a drink. It costs 13,000 yen for two people. If you have a small appetite, 5000 yen per person can get it. Both restaurants recommend making reservations in advance. You may not be able to eat on the spot.
If you have enough time, get off at Honmachi Station. If you want to visit the core area, get off at Shinsaibashi Station or Namba Station. This area mainly sells various clothing, drugstores, specialty products, snacks, brand stores, buyer stores, second-hand stores, etc. The Glico billboard is just a five-minute walk north from Namba Station (navigation Dotonbori Glico billboard). There are two connected shopping malls at Shinsaibashi Station, Daimaru Department Store and Parco. The Pokémon theme store is on the 9th floor of Daimaru Department Store (pictures 14-17). There are a lot of Pokémon peripherals and free games to play. In addition to the two Pokémon shopping malls, there are many main stores such as One Piece, Crayon Shin-chan, Ghibli, Chikawa, etc. Note‼ ️The mall closes at 8 o'clock, so go early.
