Once a shogunal capital during the 16th century, Osaka has transformed into a trendy metropolis brimming with exciting sights and sounds, like the wildly popular Universal Studios Japan and Namba, the downtown district famous for housing the Glico Running Man. And for those looking to explore Japan’s history and culture, you’ll have no shortage of choices, with the jaw-dropping Osaka Castle, Kuromon Market, Sumiyoshi Taisha, and much more.
