Historical weather forecast in Japan

Many people say that Osaka is not as lively as Tokyo and antique as Kyoto, but in fact Osaka is very interesting. In addition to all kinds of delicious food and cosmeceuticals necessary for traveling to Japan, there is also a cultural feature that is different from other cities. I like that it is a lively and slow-paced city, which is very suitable for living.

The most cost-effective way to travel to Osaka is to buy a travel ticket for Osaka. In addition to transportation costs, it also includes tickets for many popular attractions, such as HEP FIVE Ferris wheel, soup of natural hot springs, Osaka Life Museum, Tianshou Pavilion in Osaka City, Tsutenkaku, Tianbaoshan Ferris wheel, sailing boat Santa Maria and so on. Here are 25 scenic spots that Osaka must visit.

Nanbo Nanba

Nanpu, located in the southern district of Osaka, is the most prosperous place in Osaka, integrating food, entertainment and shopping. Its coverage is large enough to be visited all day, including Dotonbori, Xinzhai Bridge, Rongqiaojin, Qian Qian, Meicun and Nanshichang. Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi are the most popular places, which will be introduced in detail later. The following first introduces the characteristics of several other places:

Rongqiaojin: the entertainment area in the difficult wave area, including cinemas, entertainment centers and clothing and beauty shops. For food lovers, you must try the Rikuro Grandfather Cheesecake and 55 1 Penglai Meat Bag in Osaka.

Qian Qian Prop Street: There are all kinds of shops, but mainly tableware. The tableware here is very fine in workmanship and has many styles. Not only can you find tableware worthy of collection, but it is also a good place to choose gifts or giveaways. Famous restaurants such as Mizu Osaka Roast and Yilan Lamian Noodles are also here.

Amerikamura: For those who like antiques and second-hand clothes, Meicun is a must-see place for you. There are many antique shops here, the prices are cheaper than those in Tokyo, and there are many kinds of second-hand clothes, which are well preserved and can't be seen as second-hand. In addition, there are many trendy brands here, such as Vancy, F T F, Trefac Style, Kinji (striding), Flying Tiger Copenhagen, OPA and Uncle Sam, all of which are places where young people like to hang around. The decoration here is obviously different from other streets and full of American style. You can find the Statue of Liberty.

Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are the most famous shopping streets in Osaka, and they are connected to form a long shopping avenue. Shinsaibashi is mainly a shopping center, from Matsumoto, Taiyang Medicine, Dacang and other cosmeceuticals to ARA, H& and other H & clothes; M, Uniqlo, FOREVER 2 1 Well-known brands have everything. Among them, "Daimaru Matsuzaka Department Store" owns, Gu, Desigual, Lowry Farm, Lowry Farm and many other brands that are deeply loved by Japanese young people. People who like fashion must not miss it.

Dotonbori is a food street in Nanpu District, where classic Japanese cuisines from various counties and cities are gathered, such as Osaka Roast, Octopus Roast, Lamian Noodles and Crab Meat Cuisine. Among them, Lamian Noodles, Four Heavenly Kings, Dotonbori (Shao), Crab Dole and Pablo Chinese Cheesecake are recommended.

Remember those big crab signs that are common on social platforms, such as runners and street corners? This famous photo spot is Glico, which is located near Qiaorong Bridge in Dotonbori. In addition to this wheel, there are neon advertisements on both sides of the river bank, which are reflected on the canal after dark, forming waves of purple, red and blue alternating colored lights, which are beautiful. There are also major nightclubs and entertainment places here, which can be described as the more exciting the night.

Osaka universal studios

The famous Universal Studios is a must-see attraction in Osaka. Although the ticket is surprisingly expensive, I think it is worth the ticket price when I see the cute face of the little soldier.

Universal Studios Osaka features Harry Potter and Batman Paradise. There is only Harry Potter paradise in Asia, and the whole scene of Huomi Village is simply a perfect reproduction and presentation. As for "Little Soldier Paradise", it has been the most popular paradise here since it opened in April 20 17. There are many lovely scenes in the movie for taking pictures. Restaurants and snack bars sell many foods in the shape of little soldiers, and there are many surrounding commodities, such as stationery, cups and dolls, among which the most popular commodity must be the little soldier popcorn bucket. If you are lucky, you will meet real soldiers with different shapes everywhere in the park from time to time; Coupled with the soldier parade, it will definitely make the soldier fans crazy.

Due to the popularity of Universal Studios, the queue time for each game is as long as 1-3 hours. Therefore, it is suggested that you buy tickets for fast customs clearance online before departure, which can shorten the waiting time of many amusement facilities such as Harry Potter taboo tour, Batman car tour, flying pterosaur, Spider-Man adventure 4K3D, great white shark, Jurassic Park boat tour and so on.

Kuromon Market

Heimen Market is a seafood wholesale market, another food gathering place after Dotonbori, and the distance between them is about 10 minute. There are all kinds of seafood specialties here, from different parts of Japan, and even beef and famous fruits. Because the price is reasonable, it is very popular with local Japanese. I recommend several restaurants I like for your reference: みな Mei (puffer fish), Maruyama Meat Restaurant (with beef iron plate), まぐろやォ Silver (black mackerel) and Yamada.

The business hours of Black Gate Market are nine o'clock in the morning. As there are many people, I suggest you come and feed early.

Osaka Castle Image Source

Osaka Castle, which ranks alongside Nagoya City and kumamoto castle as the three famous Japanese cities, is located in Osaka Castle Park, and its scenic spots include Xizhimaru Garden and Tianshou Pavilion in Osaka Castle. The former is one of the cherry blossom viewing spots in Osaka, and you can also enjoy maple leaves and ginkgo biloba in other seasons. Unfortunately, it was winter when I visited, and the park was quite depressed, so I missed a flower viewing spot.

The "Osaka Castle Tianshou Pavilion" was built as early as 1585, but it was later burned in the war. The existing Tianshou Pavilion was built 80 years ago, which mainly displays the architectural features and history of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, such as the famous Osaka Summer War. On the top floor of Tianshou Pavilion, you can also overlook the scenery of Osaka City. Tickets for Tianshou Pavilion are 600 yen, and admission is free with a travel card. If you are deeply interested in history, you can take time to visit the Osaka History Museum nearby.

Mei Tian is a shopping area in Osaka. There are many large department stores here, such as Hankyu Department Store, Hanshin Department Store, Dafeng Department Store, Lumaru Department Store, Isetan Department Store, Otaru Department Store, HEP FIVE Department Store and Meitian Underground Street in Osaka, all of which are fashionable clothes.

From the underground passage of Umeda Station Street to the sky garden observation deck of Blue Sky Building, you can enjoy the scenery of Osaka from a height of 73 meters and a dead angle of 360 degrees, which is a good place to see night scenes. At night, the observation deck is full of lights, and there are artificial starry tunnels on the 35th to 39th floors. The platform has a love lock, which is very suitable for couples to date.

Tennoji Ward & Tennoja and Abeno Abernot Ward

Besides Nanpu, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori, another shopping and food paradise in Osaka is Amano and Abeno. There are three department stores with different prices: Tennojiamio, where duty-free shops are concentrated; Mall of Abeno Q, a petty bourgeoisie; And Abeno Harukas, a famous brand paradise.

In addition to shopping, there are many places worth visiting in Tianjia, such as Tianjia, the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan. Every month, there is a "master meeting" on 2 1 day, and there are open-air markets and stalls everywhere. There is also the Tianwang Temple Zoo, which is suitable for parent-child tours, and the Abeno HARUKAS 300 observation deck with super beautiful night scenes. Standing on the observation deck, Osaka has a panoramic view.

New World and New Millennium Monument &; Zhucheng

The "New World" used to be the most prosperous area and commercial center in Osaka. The landmark building in this area is the "fortification" designed by architect Tadashi Naito, who designed the Tokyo Tower. It is very eye-catching, floating in the sky with the big puffer fish balloon. Since the development of Dotonbori, the new world has gradually declined. Due to the positive development of the government in recent years, this area has recovered its vitality.

In the past, the New World was a place where ordinary people concentrated, so the food, restaurants and entertainment facilities here were all the prices of ordinary people, but the taste was not worse than that of big restaurants. I used to eat delicious Osaka roast and octopus roast here, and the price was reasonable. In addition, there are many cheap hotels here, and the New World is a good accommodation choice for travelers with limited budget.

Osaka Museum of Housing and Life

Osaka Museum of Ancient and Modern History, adjacent to Tianjin Bridge Shopkeep Street, is the first Japanese museum with the theme of Osaka residence and life. It reproduces the original appearance of life in the late edo period and is a good place for parent-child travel and rainy days. The 10 floor is the observation deck overlooking Edo Osaka, and the 8th and 9th floors are the exhibition areas of past and present museums. On the 8th floor, models of the early Edo period, such as Tsutenkaku, are displayed. On the 9th floor, you can wear kimonos to experience the life in the late Edo period, visit the shops at that time and take photos in the street.

People who like to soak in hot springs can enjoy the natural hot springs of "Langsu Tang" for free as long as they hold Osaka Travel Card. There are outdoor and indoor hot springs here. Even if it rains, I am not afraid that my trip will be affected. The hot spring of "Wave Soup" has always been called "Beauty Soup", including outdoor bath and rock bath. You can slowly enjoy different types of hot springs, such as cold springs, carbonated springs and massage pools. After soaking in the hot springs, you can also enjoy the salt sauna and steam sauna, which is very enjoyable.

The author first promoted the open-air hot spring, where you can enjoy the night view of Osaka while soaking in the water, which is very holiday-like. Then you can go to the indoor hot spring to soak in the cold spring to refresh yourself, and then you can have dinner in the nearby Shenshen Jin Qiao Shopping Street.

Nakajima Nakajima

Nakajima is the first park in Osaka, because it is very long and strip-shaped between rivers, about 1.5 km long, with a large area. There are many green places, such as the green trails built around the park, which are very suitable for walking and jogging.

There are many places worth visiting in Zhongzhi Island, such as the Zhongzhi Island Library built in baroque style, the Oriental Ceramic Art Museum displaying Chinese and Korean ceramics, and the Central Hall, which are all important cultural treasures. Cultural and artistic activities of different scales are often held.

Address: No.6, Nakanoshima-CHO, Sakata District, Osaka, 564-0035.

The most famous island in China is the Rose Garden of Zhongzhi Island in the center of the park. The park covers an area of 65438+3000 square feet and is about 500 meters long. More than 3700 roses of more than 300 varieties have been planted. In the flower season of May and 10 every year, roses of different colors compete in the garden. Different sizes have their own beauty. From a distance, they are like the rose garden of Versailles, and they are definitely worth visiting.

Migneau Falls, Jimian Falls.

Polar Waterfall is located in Meiji Polar National Forest Park, the oldest forest park in Japan. It was established to commemorate the centenary of Emperor Meiji's accession to the throne. Polar Waterfall was selected into the top 100, and there is a platform nearby where people can take photos for free. Every year from the middle of 10 in 65438+065438+early February in 65438, the whole mountain is red, which is a famous maple viewing place in Osaka. Because of the large area of the park, the maple leaves are very spectacular outside the season. The most ideal places to enjoy maple are Longan Temple, Xijiang Temple and Qiaomuge, where you can see different levels of maple leaves such as green, red, orange and yellow.

The shopping street in Jimian Park is quite easy to visit, and the most impressive food is the "Red Leaf Tempura" limited by the maple leaf season. The maple leaves are salted, then wrapped in batter and fried. On the taste and taste, I still think the original tempura is delicious, but it is also an interesting experience.

Expo 70 Memorial Park Image source Wanbo Memorial Park

The predecessor of Wanbo Memorial Park is the Expo venue of 1970. The rebuilt park still retains the sun tower, steel pavilion and other buildings of the Expo Park, and at the same time, it has built a cultural park and a Japanese-style garden, with different kinds of plants, such as cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, sunflowers and red leaves. This is a good place to enjoy flowers.

Summer firefly night, sunflower festival and other sacrifices in Osaka will be held here, and sometimes there will be water parks, lights, haunted houses and so on. In addition to festivals, there is the largest comprehensive shopping mall "EXOICITY" in Japan next to the park. There are many brands and restaurants, and there are outdoor amusement facilities for children to play, which is very suitable for family trips.

Nambo Yasaka Shrine, Hanshin Society, Nambo.

In the bustling waves, there is a very huge and prominent blue lion hall hidden in the quiet community of the waves. This blue lion hall is a lion's head with an open mouth, called Bashan Shenshe. Height12m, width 1 1 m, very striking. According to legend, Hanshin Society was built to commemorate Emperor Rende, and later moved here for various reasons, and was famous for praying for "golden luck" and "Chinese luck".

Walking into a shrine is like walking into a lion's mouth. It feels very interesting. Every year, there will be music performances and dance performances, and occasionally there will be various worship activities, such as removing cakes and scattering beans. It's very lively and worth visiting.

Tianshen Jin Qiao Shopping Street

The 2.6-kilometer-long "Tianjin Bridge Shopkeeper Street", also known as the No.1 Shopkeeper Street in Japan, spans three subway stations on the Fujitsu Line. If you can't find a kind heart in New Sebash, or want to avoid the crowds in New Sebash, you might as well come here for treasure hunting. There are restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets and electrical stores, and you can find anything you want. As for food, we recommend Nakamura House (Coke Cake), the famous snapper-grill, Emerald Supermarket (one yen loan) and Octopus-grill Wanaka. Wanaka was selected as the recommended restaurant of Mi Zhilian, so don't miss it.

At No.2 Tianmuqiao, there is a famous shrine "Tianman Palace" dedicated to the god of learning "Sugawara no michizane", which attracts many students to pay homage every year. Every July, Tenjin Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Japan, will be held here, and there will be a parade full of traditional Japanese characteristics, which is very spectacular.

Osaka Mint Japan Mint

Although Osaka Mint Museum shows coins and their making process, this place is actually famous for Sakura Avenue, which can be called Sakura Museum. This cherry blossom tunnel is 570 meters long, which is not only unrestricted by seasons, but also open to the public free of charge seven days a year, so countless locals and tourists come here every day. There are a large number of cherry blossoms in the bureau. There are more than 100 kinds of cherry blossoms with various colors. You can see all the postures of cherry blossoms at once. Because the flowering time is different every year, interested travelers must pay attention to the latest development of official website, so as not to miss its elegance.

Osaka Children's Amusement Park Osaka Children's Square

I have always heard that Osaka is a very suitable place for parents and children to travel, because there are many places suitable for children to discharge, such as Osaka Children's Paradise. This is a paradise that combines natural science, creativity, adventure and culture. The building is five stories high, and the theme of each floor is different. Children can learn a lot of scientific principles and have the opportunity to create creatively and train their five senses. Children who want to participate in DIY remember to register early. The admission fee here is not expensive, adults 1400, primary and secondary school students 800, and children over 3 years old 500, which can be used as a choice for rainy days.

Tianbaoshan Seaport Village is a comprehensive entertainment center with many interesting facilities, such as Haiyuan Pavilion, Tianbaoshan Market Street, Hanle Paradise, Tianbaoshan Ferris Wheel and Santa Maria sailing boat, which is very suitable for a day trip.

Sailing sightseeing boat-St. Mary santamaria platform.

The best way to visit Osaka Port and enjoy the scenery along the way is to take a sailboat, the Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary was built in imitation of the ship used by Columbus when he discovered the New World, but it was twice as big as the original one and carried a large number of passengers. There are two kinds of flights every day: daytime and dusk. The former comes every 45 minutes, while the latter comes every hour. The fare is also different, but you can take it for free with Osaka Travel Card.

One-day tour: 1, 600 yen for adults and 800 yen for children.

Night tour: 2 100 yen for adults and 0/050 yen for children.

Haiyouguan Osaka Aquarium opens a fishing hall.

Aquarium is one of the largest aquariums in Japan, with more than 600 species and nearly 30,000 species of marine life, such as otters, sea lions, penguins, dolphins and jellyfish, and even whale sharks, the largest fish in the world, which is guaranteed to be an eye-opener. Haiyuange has animal feeding performances every day, such as penguins, dolphins and whale sharks. You can check the timetable in official website before you leave. Don't miss it! In addition, tourists can interact with sharks here, which has a taste of touching sharks, which is very suitable for parent-child travel.

Due to the high ticket price of the Sea Tour Museum, I suggest buying tickets for Osaka Sea Tour, which not only includes tickets, but also can take trams and buses unlimited times in one day, which is the most cost-effective scheme.

Legoland, Osaka, legoland

Another place in Osaka that makes children crazy-Le Playground. This indoor playground is located at Daban Port Station, with convenient transportation. It is stipulated that children and adults must enter the park at the same time. It is a paradise specially designed for children/parents, with fun amusement equipment, such as 4D cinema, Lego factory tour, castle adventure, magic turntable and so on. Tickets are 2300 yen, and children over 3 years old need to buy tickets. The author thinks the price is quite high, but if you have a Osaka travel pass, you can enter for free.

Tianbao Shanda Ferris Wheel Tianpozan Giant Ferris Wheel

The author has always had a soft spot for the Ferris wheel and likes to sit in the carriage and enjoy the scenery slowly. The big Ferris wheel in Tianbaoshan is as high as 1 12 meters, and it takes about 15 minutes to turn around. When the weather is good, you can overlook Osaka Port, Kansai International Airport and other scenic spots, which is very suitable for couples and families to relax here. Four of the carriages are fully transparent crystal carriages, so people who are afraid of heights can have a look. The most special thing is that the Ferris wheel lights up after dark to forecast the weather the next day. Red stands for sunny day, green stands for cloudy day and blue stands for rainy day. Even if you're not interested in the Ferris wheel, it's not bad to stroll around and take pictures at night.

Linku famous products discount store

If you want to hurry up and have a big sale in Japan, you can consider the airport outlet, which is only 20 minutes' drive from Kansai Airport. There are more than 200 brand stores with a wide variety of goods, including clothing, shoes, kitchen utensils and suitcases. And the price is cheap. Peach John, Samantha Tawabcha, As Know As, Beam and many other Japanese brands are among them, and there are even famous sports brands such as Adidas, Le Coq Sportif, New Balance, Nike and Vans. It is definitely the best place for the last wave of shopping before returning to China.

Kobe Kobe Many people who travel to Osaka will visit the surrounding areas at the same time, among which Kobe and Nara are definitely the first choice.

The famous Kobe cattle make people drool. In fact, in addition to Kobe cattle, there are many interesting places in Kobe, which are very suitable for day trips or even overnight stays. Here are some scenic spots suitable for a day trip:

Kobe Port: This is the landmark of Kobe-Kobe Tower. Kobe Tower is symbolic of opening a port, and it is the first lamp of Japanese light up the world. The five-story lighthouse has amazing scenery, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole Kobe harbor. It is free and open, so you must not miss it. After that, you can visit the nearby mosaic square and American park, which is quite romantic after night.

Old residence: When Japan was open, many foreigners lived here, forming a whole row of European-style buildings. Today's houses have become high-end boutiques, but they still attract many people to take photos here and feel the European style. If you like European architecture very much, you can also visit the Kitano Alien Pavilion, but you have to pay a ticket for each room.

Nanjing City: In a word-China City. There is a strong Chinese style here, Chinese can be seen everywhere, and vendors chat in Chinese. The most interesting sight is that most tourists are Japanese. It seems that they suddenly changed from guests to hosts, making people want to introduce China cuisine to the Japanese.

Sangong: Shopping Paradise. There are countless department stores, shopping malls and shopping streets, and beautiful and fashionable goods can be seen everywhere. Mimiya spans Kobe Mimiya Station in Hankyu, Mimiya Station in JR, and Kobe Mimiya Station in Hanshin. If you are not careful, you will get lost.

If you plan to stay in Kobe, you will have time to see the night view of the famous Moye Mountain, or you can go to Ma You Hot Springs to soak in water. Ma You Hot Spring is one of the three largest Gu Quan in Japan. There are three different kinds of springs, which are very special. If time permits, you can also go to Liu Jiashan in Kobe, where there are botanical gardens, music box museums and natural somatosensory observation stations, which are very suitable for parent-child tours.

Nara Nara

I believe there is no need to introduce. Everyone knows what is the most famous scenic spot in Nara-Nara Deer.

Nara deer lives in Nara Park. Because of the large area of parks, they can be seen everywhere. It is often said that the Japanese are very ceremonial and polite, and so is Nara Deer. As long as they see food, they will rush to you and bow to you. Very cute. The long neck is doing a very unnatural action, but it is funny to wear it on them. If you want to feed the deer, you can buy deer scallops at the stalls in the park. Because it looks delicious, I can't help but take a sip, only to find that it is only a little bitter and not delicious.

After taking a photo with Nara deer, you can continue to go to Dongda Temple and Chunri Dashe. Going deeper, the number of deer gradually decreases. Compared with Nara Park, the deer living here are quiet and carefree, and don't want to be disturbed.

As far as scenic spots are concerned, the author likes Spring Festival couplets best. Just stepping into the scope of the Spring Club is like being in a fantasy forest. It's quiet and ethereal here, which makes people slow down for fear of breaking the peace here. Occasionally, I see several deer shuttling between stone lanterns and forests, just like the guardians of the shrine.

Summary:

Osaka is a place worth visiting for a few days. Life at night is very convenient and beautiful. When I first went to Osaka, I thought there was no through train from Nara to Kyoto, so I went to Osaka for nothing and wasted a lot of time. So if you plan to visit Osaka, Nara, Kobe and Kyoto at one time, you'd better start from Osaka first, and then take the train directly from Nara/Kobe to Kyoto, which will save time.
