Dear friends, if you have half a day to spare during a layover at Osaka Airport, don’t waste it! Quickly grab this super practical guide~
Starting from Osaka Airport, I highly recommend taking the Nankai Electric Railway express train 🚋 It takes about 40 minutes to reach Namba. Namba is a great place to visit; after exiting the station, you can walk to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. The streets in this area have curved canopies, so you won’t have to worry about sun in summer or rain in winter.
Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi are bustling, with giant cartoon figures on both sides of the Osaka River that catch your eye. When you get tired of walking, try Kani Doraku 🦀 The crab meat is fresh and delicious, and the soup made with crab meat and vegetables, combined with rice, egg, and sprinkled with seaweed flakes, is simply amazing!
After eating, you can visit Daimaru Department Store, which hosts many big brands. Finally, near Namba Station, there is Park’s Shopping Center nestled against a hill, with plenty of restaurants.
If time is limited, this itinerary lets you experience Osaka’s lively atmosphere and enjoy delicious food—super awesome! Next time you have a layover, you can continue to discover more fun and tasty spots~ #OsakaTransportationGuide
