Sean has his top 3. I have my top 3. Nara Park (or Nara Kōen) with its wild sika deer was on both of our lists. So a Nara day trip from Osaka was a must.
Nara Park is one of the oldest, public parks in Japan. It’s also home to over 1,200 free-roaming sika deer, so you won’t need to go very far or in search of them. They’re everywhere!

Ring of Fire, Ring of Life. That is the guiding principle that Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan tries to leave on its visitors.
Based on the Gaia hypothesis by British scientist James Lovelock, the theory proposes that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings are closely integrated to form a single and self-regulating complex system.
The Ring of Fire is of course the volcano belt in the Pacific Ocean, which overlaps the Ring of Life, the high density biodiversity. Taking into account theses two “rings”, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan recreated the natural environment around the Pacific Ocean as faithfully as possible.

When you think of Osaka, you’re likely to think of the entertainment district of Dotonbori. The area is named after the canal that runs through it. The most identifiable landmark is the iconic Glico running man sign above the Ebisubashi Bridge. It’s become a symbol of the city and seen in movies like Black Rain.
The touristy area is chock-a-block full of retail stores, bars, cafes and restaurants and shoulder to shoulder with people. And so much neon! Think Japanese Time Square.
