As the most economically prosperous city in Kansai, Osaka’s prices are not very high. Not only that, Osaka has a wide range of food, leisure and entertainment options. Have you been to Osaka? You can try to understand and feel the charming charm of Osaka.

Osaka Castle No matter what season it is, Osaka Castle, a landmark building in Osaka, is a good place for people who like history and culture.

It has been burned down and rebuilt several times, and several city owners have been replaced. It is of great significance in Japanese history.

There is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's shrine just outside Osaka Castle.

Osaka Castle Gozabune At the edge of Osaka Castle, you can sit on the Gozabune used by the original castle owner to visit the city, and visit Osaka Castle from the moat.

The shopping street leading to Tsutenkaku Tower feels like the most Osaka-like.

There are various izakayas, seafood restaurants, and takoyaki restaurants. Even during the day, you can still feel the excitement at night.

Dotonbori is absolutely indispensable when talking about Osaka.

It is said that a man named "Dawton" paid for the canal to be dug.

You can also exchange your one-day ticket for a boat ticket, and you can go back and forth in the canal in about 20 minutes, watching the scenery on both sides of the strait and crossing several bridges.

Osaka is a city with more than 800 bridges, most of which were built by locals.

On one side, there are some groups performing every day, and on the other side, there are many spectators waving colorful sticks and cheering.

Osaka travel tips 1. Activate roaming! Just in case, it is too troublesome to activate it abroad! It is usually free.

You can make phone calls and send text messages (the cost is not high, but it is very useful when you need a verification code!), and remember to turn off the cellular network when using it, otherwise the data charges will be endless.

2. Just download the map and translation software from the App. The error rate of our Google search will be much smaller.

Subway apps such as on-board transfers are not very practical. When you arrive in Japan, just ask the on-site staff. Many popular stations also have Chinese services, and they will give you the best boarding plan.

3. For cash exchange, we exchange it at Bank of China.

You need to reserve the exchange amount one day in advance and pick it up the next day.

If you really don’t have enough money, you can withdraw money from ATMs in local convenience stores in Japan.

4. Regarding bank cards, UnionPay is generally accepted in drug stores. Some large hotels and restaurants will accept Visa and MasterCard more often.

It is recommended that everyone prepare a card for these three channels when going out in case of emergency.

5. JRpass is not recommended to be purchased.

We totally want to go wherever we want.

If you buy a JRpass, you will look for JR stations wherever you want, which goes against the need for convenience.

Unless you have a lot of places to visit in your itinerary and they can all be reached directly by JR.

6. On the escalator, everyone needs to stand on the left side, leaving the right side free for those in a hurry to pass.

7. There are special places for smoking on the street. You cannot smoke anywhere and anytime.

Generally, there are cigarette butt bins at the entrance of convenience stores where you can smoke.

BTW: Smoking is harmful to your health! 8. Check-in at Japanese B&B hotels is at 3pm, and check-out is usually at 10am or 11am in the morning. Please pay attention to the placement of luggage after check-out.

There are luggage storage facilities at larger subway stations. It will be more convenient to prepare 300-700 yen coins in advance.

We also need to keep our luggage tickets. We always put them on the back of our mobile phone cases and will never lose them! (I am such a clever little guy) 9. After booking a hotel, remember to take a screenshot of the hotel information, including the English address and hotel phone number.

This information needs to be filled in on the arrival card after arriving at the Japanese airport.

10. Because the voltage in Japan is not 220v, the curling iron not only has a certain weight, but also does not reach the temperature when used in Osaka, and has no curling effect.

Therefore, it is recommended that you do not carry curling irons.
