Meeting spot: Osaka Museum of History, 4-chōme-1-32 Ōtemae, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 540-0008, Japan Itinerary: Osaka castle, Tsuruhashi, Abeno Harukasu, Shinsekai, Nanba. We begin our tour from Osaka Castle. It’s one of the most iconic spot of great historical significance in Osaka. We’ll traverse the park grounds, too, all the while talking about the history, architecture, and significance of the spot. Historically, the castle’s reconstruction has been somewhat indifferent, and we would recommend considering other options instead. Trust us. We spend about 75 minutes here. Tsuruhashi area is known as Koreatown, celebrated for its exquisite yakiniku (grilled meat enjoyed at the table). However, we invite you to explore deeper. Tsuruhashi is a fascinating maze of small shops, food stalls, and restaurants, presenting an architecturally striking mix. Let us delve into the hidden history of Osaka together. Tennoji is home to the impressive Harukas, the tallest non-tower building in Japan, standing at 300 meters. This remarkable height offers stunning views of the surrounding area. While we in Osaka have heard about a tower in Tokyo that reaches biblical heights, we prefer to focus on our own attractions. We will not ascend to the very top of Harukas, but we will go high enough to enjoy a breathtaking view of Osaka, free of charge. On a clear day, we may even glimpse all the way to Kobe and beyond. We highly recommend taking a guided tour of the department store food hall, where we typically spend about half an hour exploring.
