Osaka city, situated in the Kansai region, is famous for its hearty cuisine and down to earth locals. Full of charm, the city springs in to life mostly at night, when neon lights illuminate the streets and food stalls. Highlights include Osaka-Jo and its neighbouring park, the enchanting Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses, and the Osaka Aquarium which houses an enormous whale shark. Osaka has something to suit everyone’s travelling tastes.
