If you find yourself with an extra day to spend in the captivating city, rest assured there’s plenty to explore.
Navigating Osaka is efficient and convenient. Trains are the primary mode of transportation, though many locals also prefer walking or cycling.

You might even enjoy interacting with the pigeons or encounter friendly local pets.
No trip to Osaka is complete without indulging in its renowned local cuisine: authentic ramen.
The rich, flavorful broth, often complemented by the distinct taste of sesame seeds, is highly recommended.
As evening approaches, head straight to Dotonbori, described as the literal highlight of Osaka, illuminated by a dazzling array of LED and neon lights.
The area, centered around a canal, serves as a bustling hub for commerce, shopping, and dining.
It’s a popular spot for photos, especially with the iconic running man image, which is said to represent a Filipino athlete.
