Proud of their hometown's distinct culture and dialect, many natives of Osaka describe their city as "Japan's anti-capital." An antidote to Tokyo's hectic energy, Osaka marches to the beat of its own drum, serving as the country's longtime commercial and industrial hub.Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine and Dotonbori. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Minami (Namba) and Midosuji Gallery. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Osaka: Kitano Tenmangu Shrine (in Kita), Daigo-ji Temple (in Fushimi) and Hikone Castle (in Hikone). And it doesn't end there: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Kongobu-ji Temple, make a trip to Hōzen-ji Temple, explore the historical opulence of Nijo Castle, and steep yourself in history at Tofuku-ji Temple.
