>>462146Good Suggestions! Here are a few more:
- Dotonbori is the very touristy, but required visiting while in Osaka.
- Osaka Castle (it's the pic) is fun, albeit a reconstruction. The surrounding park is a hive of activity; there's always something going on.
-Expo park (banpaku koen) is where the 1970 World Expo was held. While it may be off the beaten path, it's one of Japan's best public parks. It is also home to the Tower of the sun (Taiyou no Tou), a landmark in Osaka. If I remember correctly, admissions to the park is 200 yen.
-Kobe and Kyoto are nearby, if you haven't gone to either city, this might be a good chance to do so!
