Home to nearly nine million and powering an economy that exceeds both Hong Kong's and Thailand's, Osaka packs quite a punch. The confident, stylish city is a shopping hub, with fabulous restaurants and nightlife. It's an ideal base for exploring the Kansai region; Kyoto's World Heritage Sites, Nara's temple and Koya-san's eerie graves are within 90 minutes by train. Top city attractions include the aquarium, Osaka Castle, Universal Studios Japan and the futuristic Floating Garden Observatory.

It’s definitely a great place to go if you want some good views of Osaka. Definitely worth the price of admission. Going during the day is great, but go in the evening for dope night views!

The Umeda Sky building is a great activity to do for several reasons if you are living nearby. Firstly you can pay a visit and get a great impression of the view without buying tickets for the top viewing platform. We went there twice, one daytime and bought tickets at nighttime at the end of our Japan trip. Another reason to visit the building is the restaurants in the basement. At first these restaurants may seems a bit gimmicky but they are in fact of very high quality. The restaurant selling okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake omelette) number 11, is in fact famous for being the best place in Osaka. Another awesome place is the sushi restaurant own by a very nice old couple, number 15. The platform has the best 360 degree view in Osaka and some amazing architecture with the two escalators connecting the buildings together. It will be smart to buy the Osaka pass in the beginning of your stay to go to all these tourist attractions (we didn’t have that and bought regular tickets).
