What We Loved

We loved the vibrant and bustling Dotonbori area and the quirky clothing stores and small eateries in the surrounding streets. We enjoyed the view from the Ebisu Tower Ferris wheel. We attended a sumo show and the kids were lucky enough to get chosen to participate. We love Osaka!

What Could Be Better

There were long line ups for the recommended breakfast places

Things good to know in advance

Most restaurants and shops don’t open until 10 or 11am so don’t plan to go shopping early in the morning. Attend the tourist sights as early as possible to avoid the crowds
