Osaka is the third largest city in Japan. If you are not enthusiastic about crowds and a large number of foreigners, then you should choose Osaka instead of Tokyo. There are also beautiful places and skyscrapers. Many people note that the locals are more friendly and direct than the Tokyites.
You can stay comfortably in The Ritz-Carlton Osaka. The mixture of European and Japanese styles allows you not to feel irritation due to new conditions, but at the same time to immerse yourself in Oriental culture. The hotel boasts a beautiful view of the city, as the hotel itself is located in a high-rise. And there are many events taking place on the territory. In addition, here you can taste not only traditional Japanese cuisine, but also French, Italian and Cato. The most popular attractions are within walking distance.
It will be interesting to wander through the underground shopping malls of Osaka.
However, the ascent to the Umeda Sky Building skyscraper will help compensate for this. The building has an unusual shape in the form of the letter "P". Meanwhile, the Fujita Art Museum will allow you to get to know Oriental culture more closely. For example, there are paintings, tea accessories, vases and much more. Already on the "central island" there is a Museum of oriental ceramics. Many people note that this is the best collection of this kind. And from here there will be a beautiful view of Osaka Castle. Yes, it is a very beautiful building, but, unfortunately, it is only a reconstruction. The historical version was destroyed. Meanwhile, inside you can now look at armor, historical documents, costumes and a collection of bunraku dolls.
In Japan, they know a lot about entertainment. In the city you will always find nightclubs, unusual cafes and many shops with items that can only be bought here. In addition, you can take photos with cosplayers on Nipponbashi Street. And the streets themselves are illuminated at night by a lot of signs and spotlights.
Of course, Osaka Temple deserves special attention. The temple complex was completely reconstructed after the bombing during the Second World War. Here you can get acquainted with the traditions of believers. Of course, the whole city of Osaka is beautiful and multifaceted. There is a perfect balance between gardens with temples and skyscrapers. All lovers of Japan should come here.
