[Osaka Namba] Exploring Namba, where Osaka's culture is condensed and fascinating

Famous as a must-visit spot for sightseeing in Osaka, "Namba"

Dotonbori, known for the Glico sign, comes to mind, but it's not just that—it's an area where you can enjoy food, sightseeing, and shopping all together 😊

When I visited Osaka during Golden Week, I spent the first day in Namba and was very satisfied, so I want to share the plan with everyone❣️

I arrived by Shinkansen and headed to Namba from Shin-Osaka 🚃

12:00 Lunch at 551 HORAI Main Store
The popular meat buns are usually for takeout, but there’s a long line, so if you want to have a relaxed lunch, I recommend eating inside the main store! The interior is spacious, and after about a 15-minute wait, I was seated!
The dim sum and almond tofu are delicious 😋

13:30 Visit Namba Yasaka Shrine
About a 10-15 minute walk to get there
The main hall, famous as a photogenic spot, is a must-see

14:15 Stroll through the shopping street
There might not be a similar street in the Kanto area!?
It was really fun!

16:00 Watch Yoshimoto Shinkigeki
Excited to see the comedians’ manzai live 🤩
The Shinkigeki was also very funny 🙌
Don’t forget to stop by the souvenir shop!

19:00 Go to a kushikatsu restaurant
To "Kushikatsu Sakura," which fries with rice flour
I think I waited about 30 minutes here 💦
Even though it was hearty, it didn’t feel heavy on the stomach!
Personally, shrimp and cheese were the winners 🏆

20:30 Let’s eat takoyaki 🐙
At this time, you could buy from the long line at "Takoyaki Wanaka" without waiting!

21:00 Photo spot at Dotonbori
You definitely want to see and take a photo of the Glico sign!
The flashy signs in the shopping street on the way there are also a must-see 😍

Hope this helps with your Osaka sightseeing 💕
