Is THIS Japanese City on Your Radar?


This Japanese City is Known as "The Kitchen of Japan" (and I'm Obsessed)

Hi Friends!

When I was planning my trip to Japan, I thought Osaka would just be a quick stop between Tokyo and Kyoto. I mean, let's face it: Tokyo is legendary, and Kyoto is historic. TBH, I was expecting Osaka to be my least favorite city out of the 3.

Let's just say I was wrong.

Osaka ended up being one of the most vibrant, fun, and delicious cities I've visited. It's known as the "kitchen of Japan," so needless to say, the food options were endless. Seriously, I've never seen so many restaurants packed into one city in my entire life! (And if you're intimidated by Japanese food, I've included a link to my favorite food tour within the post.)

But it's not ALL about the food, of course. I this post, I break down 11 things I think every first-time visitor to Osaka should experience - including my favorite activity from my entire trip.
