Osaka is the perfect city in Japan to get your grub on and to shop your heart out. It’s got a more relaxed city vibe than Tokyo and a bit more affordable compared to the other popular cities. Osaka is also known as the place to shop for high quality chef knives due to its neighboring city Sakai, where many knives are made. Don’t miss out on their world famous aquarium either and make sure to check out all their street food!
