Osaka may be the place for kuidaore – eating until you fall over – but don’t overlook its many excellent museums. Most of them have an Osaka-centric focus to their exhibitions, which make them great places to learn about the city. Even if you’re not a history buff, there’ll be a museum for you on this list.
Interested in Japanese pottery? Peruse the collection of the Museum of Oriental Ceramics. Love instant ramen? Visit the CupNoodles Museum. Prefer a drink? Take a deep dive into the world of malt whisky at Suntory Yamazaki Distillery. Whether you’re travelling with friends and family or going solo, Osaka’s museums are super fun ways to spend an afternoon – or the time in between meals.
