I started off my Japan Backpacking Trip in the City of Osaka and with 2 days in Osaka I decided to see how many budget friendly and free things there are to do in Osaka!
This is what I found:
Osaka Castle Grounds – Free Thing To Do in Osaka.
Abeno Harkukas Viewing Platform – Free Thing To Do in Osaka.
Walking Around the Crazy areas of Shinsekai and Dotonbori – Free Thing To Do in Osaka.
Dotonbori Ferris Wheel – Budget Thing To Do in Osaka – 600Yen.
As well as exploring Osaka, because this was my first stop in Japan I needed to exchange my JR Pass in Osaka Station for an actual JR Pass. Because I’m travelling I got my JR Pass sent to my Hostel in Taiwan.
I also needed to get a Sim Card in Japan so went into BIC Camera’s in Namba to get a 30 day travel Japan Sim Card with 3GB of Data. It worked in my phone but unfortunately the 3GB only lasted me 1 week in Japan!
I stayed at Air Osaka Hostel which is a bit further out of the City and very small but because of this it benefits from slightly cheaper rates than hostels in the Centre of Osaka so I recommend checking it out.
