  • Osaka is the third largest city in Japan and there is so much to do there! If you are interested in visiting Osaka and want to see what there is to do in this diverse city, this video is an awesome place to learn about the top things to do in Osaka. Over two days, we explore Osaka and take you along for the journey!
    We start our exploring at Shinsekai, a neighbourhood in Osaka known for all the activities it offers. From game shops to delicious restaurants and bars, there is something to entertain anyone in Shinsekai. We visited during the day, but if you are wondering what you can get up to at night in Osaka, it would be cool to visit Shinsekai in the evening too!
    Something we were so excited to do in Osaka was go to a baseball game! Japanese people LOVE baseball. It is a huge part of the culture, and tickets are really affordable, so you have to go to a game if you are visiting Osaka (or any part of Japan!). We weren't sure what to expect for our first baseball game in Japan, but it was awesome. The synchronous chants and energy of the crowd was unlike any other sports game we have ever been to. We highly recommend adding a baseball game to your Japan itinerary!
    No Osaka travel vlog would be complete without a visit to Dotonbori, because this district is awesome. Definitely come at night so you can see all the signs lit up. Mico finally got to try takoyaki, and I ate a 10 Yen coin; two street foods that are really famous in Japan!
    The next day we visit a micro pig cafe, which was everything we dreamed it would be. We also got to see Osaka Castle which was not at all what we expected. For some reason we hadn't given much thought to what a Japanese castle would look like, so this one took us by surprise! We also got to explore Shinsaibashi, which is a huge shopping area in central Osaka. If we had any space in our backpacks, Mico would have bought half of every store. There are so many great souvenirs and Japanese momentos that can be bought at Shinsaibashi shopping street. We had a ton of fun exploring it!
    The final stop on our Osaka city tour was Shintano-ji temple. If you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy the calm and serene aspects of Japan, this is definitely the temple for you. And you'll be extra happy if you like turtles!

    By the way, the Hanshin Tigers are known for having the most passionate fans in Japan.
    Also, in the spring and summer this stadium is used for a baseball tournament for high school students. All games of this tournament are broadcast live throughout Japan by NHK (Japan Public Broadcasting Corporation)

    阪神タイガースの聖地
    阪神甲子園球場は
    高校野球の聖地でもあります。。
    阪神タイガースファンの
    日本の国歌は六甲おろしです。。
    ライトスタンドはとても狭い席ですが
    阪神ファンの聖地でもあります。。
    東京でもNPBの観戦ができますが
    対阪神タイガース戦のゲームは
    盛り上がるので阪神戦がおすすめです。。

      西宮、尼崎、宝塚界隈は大阪都市圏なので「大阪」でも問題ありません。異なる経済圏を持つ神戸とは違います。外国人観光客にとって都道府県の行政の括りなんてどうでも良い話ですから。
