This Osaka Travel Guide Video will give you 10 neighbourhoods to visit in Osaka, Japan, for an unforgettable trip! Essential tips for navigating famous spots like Osaka Castle and Dotonbori, as well as many hidden gems and undiscovered areas of Osaka.
Disclaimer: This list is based on my personal opinion. I do currently live in Osaka but I am not a professional tour guide. My only credentials are that I am married to an Osaka local and am still fresh enough to Japan to be able to valuate things with my foreigner / tourist lens (so no credentials really). If you find this list useful, great! If you disagree with it, feel free to let me know in the comments (in a nice way plz).
