Great for families, with one of the best theme parks in the world, an incredible aquarium and a general feeling of security.

Universal Studios Japan, with the Super Nintendo World area, is a top-notch attraction.The Kaiyukan Aquarium is one of the largest and most spectacular in the world.The city is extremely safe for children at any time.
The crowds in Dotonbori or on the subway can be overwhelming with small children.Some small restaurants or bars may not be suitable for families.The cost of tickets to large family attractions is high.

Safety

Osaka, like all of Japan, is one of the safest cities in the world. Street crime is practically non-existent.

It is safe to walk alone in any neighborhood at any time of the day or night.People are extremely honest; It is common for lost items to be returned.The biggest 'risk' is eating and drinking too much.
In busy nightlife areas, you should be aware of bar scams, although this is very rare.

Cleanliness

95

As throughout Japan, cleanliness is exceptional in streets, public transportation and indoor spaces. It is something that surprises all visitors.

The streets and subway system are spotlessly clean.Citizens have a high sense of civic responsibility for cleanliness.Even the busiest areas like Dotonbori are kept very clean.
The lack of litter bins on the street can be an inconvenience.It is frowned upon to eat while walking, partly to maintain cleanliness.

Tips for Family

Explore the 'Shotengai'

Get lost in covered shopping arcades ('shotengai') like Tenjinbashisuji (the longest in Japan). You'll find local shops, cheap restaurants, and a glimpse into everyday Osaka life.

Nightlife in Doyama-cho

If you're looking for the LGBTQ+ scene, or just smaller, alternative bars, explore the Doyama-cho neighborhood in Umeda. It is a labyrinth of cozy places full of character.

Silence on Public Transport

Avoid talking on the phone on trains and subways. Put it on silent mode. Talking to your companions is fine, but do it in a low tone of voice.

Tap Water is Drinkable

Tap water throughout Japan is safe to drink and of excellent quality.

Masks

It is very common to see people wearing masks, whether because they have a cold, allergies, or as a preventive measure. It is not a cause for alarm and is a gesture of consideration towards others.

Absolute Security

Osaka is extremely safe. No need to worry about pickpockets or theft. It is safe to walk through any area at any time.

Beware of the 'Touts'

In nightlife areas like Namba, you can find 'touts' (catchers) who try to take you to bars. It is best to ignore them and choose your own location to avoid possible hidden charges.
