Atractions

Osaka Castle
Once you're done checking out the castle hop on over to the roof top bar overlooking the grounds. It's called "The Landmark Square Osaka" and it's the perfect view for the 'gram. Get yourself an "umeshu soda" (plum wine with soda) and *kanpai* at sunset!

Dotonbori
If you like street food – Osaka is great for 'snack attacking' around the city. You've got to try Takoyaki (octopus dough balls) and Okonomiyaki (a pancake like food with lots of flavor and textures).

Namba Yasaka Jinja
Namba Yasaka is a famous small shrine, a quick 5 minute walk from the Namba JR station, in the middle of the city, with the largest lion-shaped stage. 

Universal Studios
This one speaks for itself. There are so many rides, fun food, events, and more. If you haven't been to Super Nintendo World, you have to go. We skipped the wrist bands and just kept to the rides – saved us money and gave us more time on the rides. Another tip, don't stay together. You'll ride more times as a solo rider than if you stay in your large groups. Best ride there is the Jurrasic Park flying coaster. Don't be fooled – there are two Jurrasic rides. There is a water ride and a coaster. Ride the coaster. Best ride in the park. Hands down. Another contender is the Hollywood ride near the front of the park. Don't miss out on the *kawaii* foods around the park! Seasonally themed and absolutely delicious!
