Connections, stations and rail getaways from Osaka
Osaka, the vibrant metropolis of the Kansai region, is a feast for the senses. Famous for its exquisite cuisine, lively nightlife, and friendly, outgoing people, the city offers a dynamic contrast to other Japanese cities. From the neon lights of Dotonbori to the imposing presence of its historic castle, Osaka is a center of commerce, culture and, above all, good food.
It is a rechargeable card that is used to pay on all trains, subways and buses in the Kansai region (and almost all of Japan). It can also be used in konbinis and vending machines.
Unlike Tokyo, where you stand on the left side of escalators, in Osaka and the Kansai region the norm is to stand on the RIGHT side to let people pass on the left.
If you plan to visit many attractions in 1 or 2 days, this pass can save you a lot of money. Includes unlimited subway rides and free entry to dozens of attractions like Osaka Castle and Tsutenkaku Tower.
The former imperial capital of Japan. A treasure trove of temples, shrines, gardens and geisha quarters. An essential cultural visit.
The first permanent capital of Japan. Famous for its enormous Buddha statue at the Todai-ji Temple and for the hundreds of deer that roam freely through its park.
An elegant port city known worldwide for its high quality beef. It offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere, a Chinatown and mountain views.
Considered the most spectacular castle in Japan and a World Heritage Site. Its elegant white appearance has earned it the nickname 'the White Heron'.

The center of Shingon Buddhism. A sacred temple complex atop a forested mountain, home to the mystical Okunoin Cemetery.
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.
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.
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 throughout Japan is safe to drink and of excellent quality.
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.
Osaka is extremely safe. No need to worry about pickpockets or theft. It is safe to walk through any area at any time.
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.
