    Hi, im from Indonesia. This coming late June will be our very first time visiting Japan.
    I heard that osaka is popular for Hiroshima styled okonomiyaki, please suggest us where to find them. (Hopefully family friendly)
    Also we like teppanyaki; would appreciate if you can also give reference of where to find decent teppan restos.
    Arigato in advance for your recommendation 🙏

      Don Quixote is great. It really depends on what you are looking for, but Hankyu and Hanshin Department stores in Umeda are definitely worth checking out for tourists and locals alike!
