Osaka Itinerary｜Slow Tour of Osaka Attractions

#Osaka Itinerary There are many attractions in Osaka. Here is my one-day itinerary: 📒Go to "Local Kitchen" for breakfast first In addition to the tourist hotspot "Kuromon Market", Osaka also has the "Kizu Wholesale Market", which is known as the "kitchen of the locals". Kizu Market is a traditional vegetable market with a century-old history, which is completely different from the busy Kuromon Market. The main business here is the wholesale of food such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, fresh meat and dry goods. There are more than 150 shops and large supermarkets in the market, providing a wide range of choices. The biggest feature of Kizu Market is its affordable prices, which are more affordable than Kuromon Market. Business hours: 05:00-13:00 (citizens and tourists are advised to go between 08:30-10:30) 📒Namba Yasaka Shrine, the Internet-famous "Lion Hall" "Namba Yasaka Shrine" is not far from "Kizu Market" and can be reached on foot. When you step into Namba Yasaka Shrine, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic "Lion Hall" that is 12 meters high, 11 meters wide and 10 meters deep. Its majestic momentum is breathtaking. Many believers come here to pray for beautiful wishes such as warding off evil spirits and epidemics, finding a good match, and ensuring the safety of mother and child, making this place a holy place full of faith and hope. Opening hours: 6:00～17:00. 📒Lunch at the classic "Dotonbori" in Osaka Walk from Namba Yasaka Shrine to Dotonbori. Dotonbori is a famous food street in Japan, and its unofficial mascot, the Glico Man, has become a landmark. Here, you can not only taste authentic Osaka snacks such as takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and skewers, but also try crab dishes, Japanese and international cuisines, and enjoy a food journey in one stop. 📒Wandering in Osaka Castle Park In the afternoon, take the subway to Osaka Castle, also known as the Golden Castle or Brocade Castle. It is located in Osaka Castle Park in the Chuo District of Osaka City. It is one of the three famous castles in Japan along with Nagoya Castle and Himeji Castle. As a landmark building in Osaka, Osaka Castle has a long history. Although it was destroyed in the war during the Edo period in 1603, its iconic building, the castle tower, was rebuilt in 1931. The castle tower has an elevator, but it only goes up to the 6th floor and can only go upwards. In addition, photography is not allowed on certain floors, so please respect the etiquette of visiting museums. Castle tower opening hours: 9:00～17:00
