I'm so satisfied with my Osaka city walk route☺ I managed to check in at all the photo spots I wanted in one day without getting tired. Highly recommend saving this💕
📍First stop: Tsutenkaku
Photo spot 1⃣: The most classic is the main street of Tsutenkaku, but it’s very crowded. At night, the atmosphere of the surrounding buildings is amazing.
Photo spot 2⃣ (a very 🔥 rooftop spot): Navigate to Spa World and take the stairs up to get a shot with no people✨ ✅ The shop fronts around Tsutenkaku are super cute and great for photos along the way.
📍Second stop: Dotonbori Glico Man
🚇 Subway Namba Station Exit 16, then use Google Maps to navigate to the "Dotonbori Glico Billboard."
Classic C spot: The right side railing of Ebisu Bridge (near the Kani Doraku side). It’s also a great spot for photos on Shinsaibashi.
📍Third stop: Dotonbori Glico Billboard
The Dotonbori sign is a symbol of Osaka’s nightscape. Navigate to "Yoshinoya Midosuji Namba Store."
Back in the city, the night view here is stunning. Although it’s crowded, when all the lights are on, it feels like stepping into a different world.
📍Fourth stop: Namba Yasaka Shrine⛩🦁
I’ve always wanted to check in at this lion shrine with a big open mouth that is said to swallow bad luck! People are quite orderly when taking photos, so you can usually get shots without people.
Take the subway on the Midosuji Line to Daikokucho Station Exit 1, then walk 5-10 minutes. It’s in a residential area—just look for the small "Yasaka Shrine" sign.
📍Fifth stop: Osaka Castle Park
Conan Hattori Heiji’s photo spot: Successfully transformed into an Osaka high school detective🕵🏻
Take the subway to Tanimachi 4-chome Station Exit 9, then walk a short distance🚶 This spot can be found by locating "Public Restroom 2 in Osaka Castle Park (HON-MARU West)." Yes, this spot is right next to the restroom.
📸 All the above places are free to visit and take photos. Feel free to explore~ #OsakaItinerary
