What to do and see in Osaka, Kinki: The Best Concerts & Shows

May 10, 2022 Malia Yoakum

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.

My family and I enjoyed the musical so much, we kept singing the theme song "gotta gotta!" all the way back to our home country! Kudos to the five actors and also to their kind manager who went out of his way to walk us to the don quijote shop for our cruise. Your hospitality is greatly appreciated, sir! We'll come back with more friends!

Had a chance to watch this show called “Keren” near the Osaka Castle built by Hideyoshi Toyotomi in 1583. If you have chance to visit Osaka, this is what you can’t miss!! You will enjoy not only Japanese culture but also Osaka culture which is unique compare to other locations. There is a discount only for tourists: ¥7,500 → ¥3,000 ($28ish) by showing your passport! Tour suggestion: Visit Osaka Castle in the morning ↓ Ride on the river cruising ↓ Eat lunch at Osaka Castle Park ↓ Watch Keren
