Osaka

Dotonbori and the nearby Shinsaibashi shopping arcade are two of the major shopping areas in southern Osaka. There’s a lot of phenomenal street food and other fun things to do in this area; many consider it a must if you’re visiting Osaka. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Glico sign that overlooks the bridge. It’s a major landmark and symbol of the Dotonbori area.

Tennoji is the other key area of Osaka and takes its name from the popular Shitenno-ji temple (meaning Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings). In addition to this popular attraction, the area is also home to the 300 meter tall Abeno Harukas skyscraper. If you’re a fan of viewing city landscapes at high altitudes, there’s no better place in all of Japan!
