2025 Osaka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

📍Welina Hotel Premier Nakanoshima West The hotel has a neat exterior, which makes you feel a little excited from the moment you enter. The overall atmosphere is heavy, and the dark gray tone gives it a slightly dark feel. Some may feel calm, while others may feel dry. Entering the 'Twin Room'. Compared to the fairly compact rooms, this is the size of the room, which is average. It opened in 2023, so it feels brand new overall. It has most of the basic amenities, and at first glance, it was a room that gave off a clean feeling overall. #Ho-kang-seu

#Osaka世博 Just came back from the Osaka Expo! I have personally experienced that if you don’t plan, you will really be exhausted under the scorching sun 🥵 We have compiled a very detailed guide on tickets, reservations, transportation and must-see exhibition halls. Follow it to avoid queuing and get more photos~ Collect it quickly! 🔍 Useful information about tickets and registration ✅ Registration: First go to the official website (supports Chinese) to register an account, which will be used for subsequent reservations and ticket purchases! ✅ Ticket type: Adult ticket is 7500 yen. It is recommended to buy weekday tickets (20% off) or night tickets (50% off). It is cheaper to buy through travel platforms~ ⚠️ Important: Remember to bind your ticket to your account in advance to avoid confusion on site! 📅 Exhibition hall reservation tips ✨ Ticket grabbing period: Reservation can be made 2 months in advance, 7 days in advance, 3 days in advance and after admission. For popular museums, it is recommended to grab the "3 days in advance" period (the chance of winning a lottery is higher)! ⚠️ Pitfalls to avoid: • For popular pavilions (such as the Japan Pavilion and the Gundam Pavilion), select 5 volunteers from the same pavilion at a time to increase your chances of winning • After 4pm, many museums have direct queues for admission. It is recommended to make reservations for the morning session and go to the non-reserved museums in the afternoon • When booking a reservation, make sure to read the map carefully to avoid running around across districts! 🚆 Transportation Tips 🚇 The first choice is to go directly to Yumezu Station on the Chuo Line of the subway. You only need to transfer once from Umeda/Shinsaibashi 🚌 Official shuttle bus to Ximen (reservation + payment required), suitable for multiple people ⚠️ Don’t choose the “Nangang Harbor City Line”! It's very far from the main exhibition area. It took me 20 minutes to reach the entrance. 🌟 Must-see exhibition halls recommended 1. Japan Pavilion｜Algae Life Cycle: The interactive installation is super shocking, remember to grab the early session! 2. China Pavilion｜Integration of technology and culture: The red exterior wall is super photogenic, and there is a Dunhuang light and shadow show inside the exhibition~ 3. Gundam Pavilion｜17-meter giant robot: a must-see for fans, with fewer people lining up after 4pm! 4. Osaka Medical Care Center | Experience yourself 25 years from now: AI skin testing + aging simulation, super fun! 🍱 Foodie Survival Guide 🍙 It is recommended to bring your own lunch box/rice balls (you can bring water into the park), the restaurants in the park are expensive and the queues are long 🏪 The convenience store in the park has reasonable prices, and I recommend buying matcha ice cream to relieve the greasiness! 💧 Bring a water bottle with you, there are water filters in the venue for free water ⚠️ Tips for avoiding pitfalls in actual combat • What to wear: Breathable shoes + light clothing (at least 20,000 steps a day!), wear a hat + parasol for sun protection • Time management: Enter the East Gate (Japanese Pavilions) at 9:00 am, and visit popular pavilions after 4:00 pm • Note for rainy days: Bring a light raincoat with you, as there are very few shelters in the park! • Sunset Easter Egg: Go up to the "Big House" to watch the sunset and overlook the entire Expo Park. It's super spectacular~ 💬 There are also many practical complaints! For example, don’t buy peripherals that can be found “everywhere”, and in which museums taking photos is more important than visiting the exhibitions ~ If you want to know, please leave a message and I will answer them one by one! Save this guide and don’t get lost when you go to Osaka Expo~🚀 #Osaka World Expo #Kansai Free Travel #World Expo Guide #Japan Travel #Must-see at the Exhibition

This article introduces several pavilions that are easy to access and don't require long queues, perfect for filling the time between reservations at popular venues. First up is the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, a highly popular spot. While the main attraction showcasing future medical advancements requires reservations and long waits, there’s a fast-track entrance on the left side of the pavilion. At the Osaka Expo 50 years ago, the concept of a bathing machine was introduced. Today, similar designs are found in many Japanese care facilities. This year, the updated bathing machine not only monitors physiological data and adjusts water temperature based on age and physical condition but also aims to cleanse both body and mind. Further inside, the iPS cell patch exhibition demonstrates medical progress, showcasing how iPS cell layers can treat severe heart conditions. You can even see actual iPS cell patches in petri dishes. 📍Address: 1 Chome Yumeshimanaka, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0044 Japan, East Gate Area Another pavilion with minimal waiting time is the United Arab Emirates Pavilion. Inspired by date palm trees, the venue is filled with the sweet aroma of frankincense, creating a Middle Eastern ambiance. Inside, you’ll find exhibits on space exploration and traditional culture, and the shop offers clothing and unique souvenirs. 📍Address: J9XM+M9, 1 Chome Yumeshimanaka, Konohana Ward, Osaka, Empowering Life Area The EXPO Hall serves as the main venue of the Expo, continuing the legacy of the Tower of the Sun from 50 years ago. Its golden dome appears like a hole in the sky, creating a sci-fi optical illusion. At night, 109 animated works from around the world are projected onto the shimmering exterior. If you have time, take a seat and enjoy the animations. 📍Address: 1 Chome Yumeshimanaka, Konohana Ward, Osaka, East Gate Area The Australia Pavilion, which I visited after winning a ticket seven days ago, surprisingly requires only 1-2 minutes of queuing to enter. The first exhibition area uses a forest theme to immerse visitors in Australia’s natural environment through sound and scent. The second area features unique multi-screen visuals showcasing Australia’s marine life and biodiversity. In the evening, there are live performances by singers and beer stalls where you can enjoy a drink while soaking in the Australian music vibe. 📍Address: M92M+Q7, 1 Chome Yumeshimanaka, Konohana Ward, Osaka, Connecting Life Area Lastly, the Night Earth Pavilion features a one-meter-diameter globe crafted using Wajima lacquerware, a traditional technique from the earthquake-stricken Noto Peninsula, passed down since the Muromachi period. This lacquerware is so precious that a single bowl can cost tens of thousands of yen. 📍Address: 1 Chome Yumeshimanaka, Konohana Ward, Osaka, Connecting Life Area

This time I really have to recommend this barbecue all-you-can-eat restaurant with super high value for money! I found a barbecue buffet called Okini Yakiniku in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, and I didn't want to go back to Hong Kong at all ~🇯🇵 📍Address: 〒542-0076 Kako Building 1F, 8−20 Namba 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Osaka (between Shinsaibashi and Namba, super convenient transportation) We chose the upgraded version ¥4398 (about HK$224) this time, recommend everyone to choose this plan, because only this price can eat black hair wagyu steak and black hair wagyu five flowers 🥹 a little expensive but much cheaper, CP value burst 💥 🥤 Drink all-you-can-eat additional ¥500 (about HK$26), there are various soft drinks and juices, I like apple juice the most, super refreshing ~ 🧑🍳The staff speaks a little Chinese, super enthusiastic, will help barbecue, peel shrimp, record videos to create atmosphere, excellent service! 📝Summary: About $250 per person, Hong Kong and Mainland China is really difficult to eat such a high quality Wagyu all-you-can-eat, this is my Osaka list must eat Top 1! #Osakafood guide

牛たんの檸檬 Osaka Main Store Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The thick-cut beef tongue is absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside! Pair it with A5-grade black wagyu beef, and you'll feel like you're in heaven with every bite. Waiting in line for an hour in the cold is totally worth it, and the staff even go table-to-table to ask about your preferences. It's highly recommended to make a reservation at least a week in advance, or you'll face a long wait. Address: A few minutes' walk from Namba Station. Just search the store name on Google Maps to find it. — Katsudon Chiyomatsu (Dotonbori Main Store) Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The tonkatsu here is ridiculously large! It seems to be braised before frying, making the meat flavorful and juicy. The rice with sauce is incredibly satisfying, and the drinks come in huge cups—perfect for sharing between two people. Note that they only accept cash, but there's a convenience store across the street where you can exchange money. Address: Located on Dotonbori's main street. Search the store name on Google Maps to locate it. — Sushi Sakaba Teppei Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A surprisingly affordable Omakase experience with a rich and fresh selection. The chef serves up to six guests at a time, maintaining a perfect pace. The cost for a set menu plus à la carte items averages under 7,000 yen per person, offering incredible value for money. Address: Inside Umeda Station. Reservations can be made via Table Check or Google Maps. — Sashisu Sushi Bar Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This sushi spot offers more fish and less rice, making it ideal for women. It's budget-friendly without compromising quality. Located in the underground shopping area of Namba Station, you don't even need to leave the station. While there are often long lines, the turnover is quick, making it a top choice for high-value sushi. Osaka's food scene is simply unbeatable—every day feels like a feast to remember!

Located along the Dotonbori River in Osaka, EMBANKMENT Coffee seamlessly blends the aroma of coffee with the scenic riverside view. Step inside, and you'll find a stylish yet minimalist interior dominated by wood tones and glass. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of the Dotonbori River, where the shimmering waves during the day and the sparkling lights at night create the perfect backdrop for enjoying your coffee. The coffee here is of exceptional quality. The lattes are rich and creamy with velvety foam, perfectly paired with crispy croissants for a delightful bite. Their signature cold brew coffee boasts a refined and lasting aroma. The relaxed ambiance of the café invites you to slow down and savor a moment of tranquility. Whether you're seeking solitude or catching up with friends, this spot offers a cozy retreat. Open from 2 PM until late at night, it's an ideal destination for evening leisure.

#OsakaSakura Osaka's urban oasis - Minami-Temmanu Park. Minami Tenmangu Park, located between Tenmangu Bridge and Tenjin Bridge, on the opposite side of Hachikenyahama, is a popular spot for Osaka citizens to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring. From the side gate of Tenmangu Bridge to the side gate of Tenjin Bridge, you can stroll along the bank of the Okawa River and see the beautiful scenery of Somei Yoshino cherry trees and wild cherry trees in full bloom. It's like a natural cherry blossom corridor, which is extremely beautiful. Minami Tenmangu Park is conveniently located. You can take the subway to Tenmanbashi Station and cross the bridge to arrive. From Hachikenyahama Pier on the other side of the river, you can take a water bus to explore Osaka. You can also enjoy the cherry blossoms on both sides of the river while circling the river. The one-way fare is ¥1,500 and the round-trip fare is ¥2,000. #Osaka #Minami-Temma Park #Temmabashi Bridge

JR Sakuranomiya in Osaka, a station name that evokes the romance of spring cherry blossoms, truly lives up to its name. As soon as you step out of the station, you’ll find yourself at the famous cherry blossom viewing spot—Kema Sakuranomiya Park. Located along the upper reaches of the Okawa River, this riverside park spans both Miyakojima Ward and Kita Ward in Osaka City. Since the Edo period, the riverside area near Sakuranomiya has been renowned as a prime cherry blossom viewing destination. Sakuranomiya Park is composed of Nanten Tenma Park, Kema Park, and Buson Park, collectively known as Kema Sakuranomiya Park, stretching over 4.2 kilometers. Every spring, more than 4,000 cherry trees bloom in the park, creating a stunning pink landscape along both sides of the river. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk all the way to Tenmabashi and the Mint Bureau, where the cherry blossoms are equally breathtaking.

#OsakaSakura About 15 minutes away from Dotonbori, there is an elegant small shrine - Takatsugu Shrine. Next to it is Takatsugu Park. Both places are private cherry blossom viewing spots for locals. The stone steps of the shrine and the surrounding areas of the park are all planted with cherry blossom trees. It is a small and beautiful cherry blossom viewing spot with few crowds and a good leisurely feeling. Takatsugu Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Nintoku. It has a long history and is said to have existed when Osaka Castle was first built. It is even recorded in Japanese poetry and is quite quaint. This power spot is only a 5-minute walk from Tanimachi 9-chome subway station, making it very convenient. In addition to cherry blossoms, Gaojin Park also has plum and plum blossoms, as well as many children's play facilities. It is a great place for people to take their children for a walk or have a picnic to enjoy the cherry blossoms in spring. #Osaka #Takatsu Palace

A fun Expo❤️ Make sure to make a reservation and go around efficiently♪ There are four types of pavilions at the Osaka Expo. ・"Signature Pavilions" led by eight producers・"Domestic Pavilions" led by countries and other organizations・"Private Pavilions" led by private companies・"Overseas Pavilions" led by foreign countries Just looking at the buildings is exciting💓 The Korean external monitor is like something out of a movie🎬 The large roof ring is a Guinness World Record! It seems that there are three Myaku Myaku hidden inside the life-size Gundam♪ There are four reservation slots in total! 1. Lottery reservations up to two months in advance 2. Lottery reservations up to eight days in advance 3. First-come-first-served reservations from midnight three days in advance (this is important) 4. Reservations after entering on the day Get these and go around efficiently. ・You can apply for up to five lottery reservations, but only one will be selected! ・For the first-come-first-served three days before, you have to be on standby at midnight or it's hard to get your desired ticket. ・For same-day reservations, you can get a ticket in the morning, and if you use up one, you can get a second one, but there are almost no second ones left! So, you can only get your desired pavilion 4 times💡 Please note that the 2-month and 7-day lotteries do not start 2 months and 7 days before, but rather mean that the lottery application deadline ends 2 months and 7 days before. It's large, so if you don't take the location and time into consideration when making a reservation, it can be a big problem😂 The map on the website is difficult to understand, so a commercially available guidebook and a map for children were helpful😊 I recommend the map from "Expo Pia". The names of each pavilion are clearly arranged⭐️ Once you've decided to go to the Expo, get your tickets early and do your best to apply for the lottery💪 #OsakaKansaiExpo2025 #OsakaExpo

Prices at the Expo have been controversial, with soba noodles costing 3,850 yen and ramen costing 2,000 yen. My impression after actually going there was that it was "surprisingly cheap!"😊 Soft drink vending machines are 160 to 190 yen. Very reasonable! Pharmacies sell water for 110 yen👍 Many bento boxes are around 1,000 yen, and Hoka Hoka Tei's nori bento, which can be eaten with one hand, is 500 yen♪ You can eat at the EXPO Arena, and there are tables and chairs in various places. At the food court "Sukiyanen Osaka WEST SIDE" in Kaze no Hiroba, frankfurters are 350 yen, shaved ice is 500 yen, and fried chicken is 500 yen. You can eat at the normal food stall price⭐️ There are some high prices at the Expo, but there are also many low prices, so don't be afraid💡 At the restaurant in the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, the specialty dish "Mobasal" is 1,100 yen, and "Hab Soup" is 900 yen. These prices seem to be cheaper than the market❤️ Seven-Eleven has the same price as regular stores⭐️ A glass of draft beer at the food court is 500 yen🍺 At the restaurants in each country's pavilion, you can enjoy local beer and regional alcohol♪ For souvenirs, you can buy a Myakumyaku packaged pudding castella for 150 yen, and the 550 yen mini towel and Myakumyaku bracelet are cute💓 There are also high-end stuffed animals and collaboration products, so it meets a variety of needs. I was surprised when I heard that the trunk check-in fee at the Expo was 10,000 yen, but for safety reasons, the number of large luggage brought into the venue is limited. As a countermeasure, there is a temporary baggage storage facility outside the venue where you can store large luggage for 1,000 yen per item, so make good use of it✨There is also a delivery service from the temporary baggage storage facility to your accommodation (1,500 yen per item)🚚 Prices at the Expo are not as daunting as people say on social media. Enjoy the world's festival with ease❤️ #OsakaKansaiExpo2025 #OsakaExpo #EnjoyJapan

[Osaka Kansai Expo 2025] Only at the Expo store! "Kura Sushi" where you can eat food from 70 countries around the world🍣 A long 135-meter lane! In a spacious store with plain wood tables and tatami sheets, specialty dishes from each country flow in one after another😍 We enjoyed dishes that are hard to find in Japan, such as "ceviche" from the gourmet country of Peru, "haring" from the Netherlands, and "poke" from the Republic of the Marshall Islands😋 Apparently, they went to the embassies of each country to taste the food, and the taste was faithfully reproduced⭐️ The price is reasonable, 320 yen per plate! Familiar sushi is 150 yen🍣 What! You can make reservations for Kura Sushi through the "Kura Sushi app"💡 (From 15 days before) Of course, only those who have an Expo admission ticket can make reservations. There is no need to enter your admission ticket. If you rush in, you may have to wait 8 hours, so it's nice to know you can make a reservation✨ Many restaurants in the Expo can be reserved from outside, so check it out👍 Kura Sushi is located further back from the West Gate. People entering from the East Gate are on the completely opposite side, so be careful to specify the time! The exterior is designed to resemble a storehouse, and about 340,000 ark shells are reused as exterior material. We recommend the special Kura Sushi that can only be eaten at the Expo❤️ 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-21:00 #ExpoKuraSushi #Osaka #OsakaKansaiExpo2025 #OsakaExpo #EnjoyJapan

#ShareTravelBudget After we got off the plane, we immediately went to buy a train ticket into the city. You can buy it at the counter. 💞Reason for recommendation: The weather is good, the people are nice, the trip is fun, and we shopped a lot. This is a memorable trip. 💰Average price per person: There were 2 of us. The ticket price + food, sightseeing or visiting various museums was within the budget of 30,000 baht per person. Let me tell you, we shopped a lot, lol. 🗓️Travel planning: We studied quite a bit, but when we actually went, it was easy to travel. The subway is very easy to read. I hope you enjoy your Osaka trip~~

Katsuo-ji Temple is a temple with over a thousand years of history where people pray for victory and good fortune. You can enjoy the tranquility, beautiful scenery and fun of the temple. Located in Minoh City, Osaka, it is a bit far but worth a visit. After entering, you will be given a postcard, which needs to be stamped at six designated points in the temple. Once completed, it will become a painting 🖼, so fun 👍 🧧Must buy Dharma prayer 1️⃣Choose a Dharma you like 👀 Opposite the main hall, you can buy Daruma and amulets, and Daruma comes in large and small sizes. 2️⃣Write down your goals📝 Then write the goal you want to achieve in the near future on the back of the Daruma, and write another life goal on the bottom of the Daruma. 3️⃣Incense burning time, express gratitude🙏 Then light some incense sticks, make a sincere wish and worship, pouring all your gratitude into the incense. Let the smoke of gratitude fill the victory dharma. 4️⃣Dharma’s bright spot Put a dot on the right eye of Bodhidharma and pray for the desired goal to be successful. If the goal is achieved in the left eye, the whole praying process is completed. 5️⃣ Pray for blessings and offerings Place the Daruma in a place that appeals to you or on an offering stand, and pray that your wish will eventually come true. There are many check-in spots in the temple♥️The highlight is the Daruma Staircase♥️, and you need to queue when there are many people. The dharma statues in the temple are piled up in different shapes and placed in different places, which is very thoughtful👍 📍2914-1 Aimagaya, Minoh, Minoh, Osaka Prefecture Take bus No. 29 or 30 from Minoo Kayano Station From Senri-Chuo Station, transfer to bus No. 29 Opening hours ・Weekdays 08:00～17:00 ・Saturday 08:00～18:00 ・Sundays and national holidays 08:00～17:00 ・Adults and high school students and above: 500 yen ・Junior high school and elementary school students: 400 yen ・Preschool children: 100 yen ・Children under 2 years old: Free Take bus No. 29 or 30 from Minoo Kayano Station From Senri-Chuo Station, transfer to bus No. 29 #Osaka #Katsuoji Temple #Dharma #Doll #OsakaAttractions #OsakaDayTour #JapanTravel #OsakaFreeTravel #osaka #japan #OsakaTourism

#HotelReview 💚 Plum Hotel: Plum Hotel is a 3-star hotel in the Namba area of ​​Osaka. The exterior of the hotel is decorated with wooden slats covering the cement walls. This makes it different from other buildings in this area. It is easy to find. The hotel atmosphere is quiet and not crowded. 💛 Inside the room, we booked a double bed room. Because we wanted to sleep wide and comfortably. And it is also considered a hotel in Japan with very large rooms. From the experience of other accommodations, we can open 2 suitcases at the same time and still have space left beside the bed. 🤎 There are complete amenities (except for water, which is not available). There is a hair dryer, flashlight, TV, small refrigerator, lamp. The bathroom has a medium-sized bathtub. You can sit and soak with stretch your legs or if you are small, you can lie down. Soak in warm water after walking around each day very comfortably. The staff will clean every day. If you are not convenient, you can hang a sign in front of the room. 💜 The receptionists here are very cute. Every day when I walk down to visit, they greet me all the time. But some people may not be able to communicate every word in English. But we can communicate easily because there are documents in English. Let us read it, it's very convenient 🩷 Around the hotel, there are convenience stores, restaurants, cafes Just 1-2 blocks away 📍Location: Japan 〒556-0016 Osaka, Naniwa Ward, Motomachi, 3 Chome−11−22（PLUM HOTEL 🕟 Check-in time: 16:00 / Check-out time: 10:00 ❗️Ps.❗️ The only problem is that the check-in time is a bit late And check-out is too early.
