Osaka Holidays

Japan’s third largest city and the country’s second most important commercial centre after Tokyo, Osaka, has a great deal to offer visitors.

Under its former name of Naniwa, the city served as Japan’s first capital in the 7th Century. Although political power later shifted to Tokyo, Osaka retains traces of its historic significance through a number of well-preserved landmarks and cultural sites.

Today, the city’s real charm lies in its flamboyance, from its fun-loving inhabitants to its dazzling neon-lit streets and mouthwatering cuisine. Renowned for its sizzling street food and vibrant culinary scene - especially in areas like Dotonbori - Osaka has firmly established itself as Japan’s foodie capital.
