At Kimono Photo Studio Wasabi, you can wear a beautiful, authentic kimono – and enjoy a unique experience, with photos to treasure forever. Our family-run, professional photography studio has vintage kimonos and traditional Japanese costumes for you to admire and try. Match the intricate patterns of your chosen kimono with makeup colours and geisha-style hair accessories. (We can bring in a hair and makeup artist if you’d prefer.) And we’ve got other props, too: parasols, a katana, and more. Your personalised shoot will be led by an experienced fashion photographer. Our team knows Japanese and English, so if there’s anything you need please just ask. Same-day printing means you get your photos straight away, with digital copies to share with friends and family.

My wife and I booked a kimono photshot here and it was a totally great experience culminating in asome beautiful photos of the two of us as a Japan visit keepsake. Our photographer Sayaka was highly professional in positioning us a variety of poses and accessories (katana, fan, umbrella). She is very friendly and made us feel totally comfortable. She gives you the option of group shots as well as individual shots.. There are a variety of package photoshoots available. We chose the one hard copy photo with 5 digital copies sent to your e-mail which I received before I even left Japan aand add-on of having my wife's hair and makeup done. Sayaka uploads all of the photos and we all reviewed the photos to delete photos until we got down to the one we wanted to pint and the ones to be sent digitally. Hard choice as all the photos were great, Beautiful kinonos and poses andeit difficult to choose, If you want a different Japan experience highly recommend this place and Sayaka to do a kimono photoshoot. Very near the Namba train station makes it easy to get to. Highly recommend. for single, couple or family.

My partner and I were at the show last night and loved every second! This was especially impressive as we’d had a stressful journey trying to find the venue, through an oversight of our own. We had used the company’s head office as our location to find, rather than the ROR comedy club in Namba where the show is held. The guys were really helpful when we messaged and clarified the location for us, even sending us another message closer to the show time to check if we needed any further help. I really appreciated this and it highlighted what a class act these guys are. I won’t go into too much detail on the show, not wanting to spoil anything, but we were treated to brilliant coin and card magic right in front of us. Lots of interaction, jokes and you also get a drink token if you book in advance. If you love magic we would highly recommend, and if you don’t love magic you will after this show!
4. Sunset Owl Cafe

We are the owl cafe located on the other side of Big Camera Namba branch! The location is very close to Dotonbori where is popular area for GLICO or Kuidaore. It is just 3 minutes on foot from Namba Walk B22 Exit connected to every lines of Namba station, so there's no problem to get here even if it's raining! You can enjoy seeing the owls while having the tea, you can take the photo with them, also you can touch them too. You will forget the time once you enter to this place♪ For all owl lovers of course, but for everyone in your spare time between sightseeing or shopping... Why don't you join to be relaxed with them?

Signed up for both the seasonal dessert (It was a Halloween themed dessert when I went!) making activity and the Takoyaki making activity and I had so much fun! You can book a slot online & they’ll send you a confirmation email that you’ll have to present at the counter on the day of the activity. The site’s in English so no problems there! ???? The instructor, I believe her name was Luna, was wonderful. Her instructions were simple to understand and despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate really well in simple English and Japanese. She was very encouraging and bubbly and that made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. ???? The Takoyaki took a day to dry and the parfait took about 3 days to dry, so I recommend you do this at the start of your Osaka trip so it dries before you leave & you can pack it into your luggage without much trouble! I did a solo experience and had a good time. I’d definitely recommend it this to everyone whether you’re travelling alone, with friends or with your family. I imagine little kids would have a blast doing this hands-on art activity! Thank you, Design Pocket Osaka! ☺️

Once the largest castle in Japan when originally built in the 1580s, this castle has an observation platform with city views and a history museum that uses holograms, 3D pictures and other technologies to describe the history of the castle and the period during which it was built.

A beautiful castle and magnificent testimony of history about the great city of Osaka. The castle is easily accessible with public transportation and covers a large area which includes a park around the castle with several amenities. The observatory on the top floor provides a beautiful view of the city and each floor shows you a moment of history and the role of the castle going back 300 years ago in Osaka. The castle takes you back in time and you will be able to see several exhibitions and when you stop on the second floor take a moment to wear a helmet and vest for a pictures as a samurai warrior. This is one visit you will remember forever so make sure to bring your camera and take pictures to share back home.

If there is one spot to get the best photos of Dotonbori , this is it! This was our 2nd time visiting Dotonbori/Shinsaibashi and the views from the Ebisu Bridge still amazed us. Strategically located in between Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi over the Dotonbori canal, it acts like a big courtyard between these attractions with the most noticeable billboards (such as the Glico man) and entry ways. Especially amazing at night when all the lights are lighted up from the billboards, the river walk, the shops etc. The sights and the sounds and the energy were just at another level unmatched elsewhere.
