A good place to start in Osaka is Amerikamura, the funky hipster district commonly compared to Tokyo's Harajuku district with wacky shops like the Panbo Pancake Kebab shop, which makes for a delicious breakfast. Also bring you camera since this area is great for street photography and youth fashion.
Osaka Pub Crawl tickets:

The most iconic place in Osaka is by far Osaka Castle. I highly recommend you make your way to the top floor in castle for some stunning views of Osaka and getting an idea how the ancient warlords used to live. Osaka Castle played a major role in the unification of japan during the sixteenth century.
If time permits, checkout Japan's biggest aquarium in Osaka called Kaiyukan which includes the great barrier reef collection and is about a 2 kilometer walk through the aquarium. I have never seen such a massive indoor fish tank in my life. Entrance sets you back 2300 yen or 21 US dollars since the aquarium is west of downtown Osaka it is a great idea to combine it with a visit to Endo Sushi, Osaka's best sushi located at the Osaka Fish Market, a sushi experience you will not regret!

Osaka like Tokyo is also known for having outrageous shops like the Longsoftcream, the longest ice cream in Japan for 500 yen or 4.75 US dollars this shop is located in Amerikamura, a place to meet really friendly and cool locals.
For the most mesmerizing views of Osaka head over to the Harukas 300 observatory deck at the Abeno Harukas building just east of Shinsekai. Entrance is 1500 yen or 14 US dollars, I do recommend you visit in the evening so you can see the sunset and night view of this incredible city with all it's blinking lights on its sky scrapers.

Like most tourists, a visit to the Dotonbori district is a must! Dotonbori includes the famous canal cruises, magnificent restaurants with crazy decorations and mouth-watering street foods like the Giant Japanese Scallops, Takoyaki and the massive Dotonbori Sandwich complete with Gyozas, Yakisoba and a ton of sauce.
In conclusion, I am often sad to hear that new visitors to Japan often skip Osaka for Tokyo and Kyoto, but I hope to have convinced you with this new travel guide to give Osaka a change as well. It is for good reason Osaka is called the kitchen of Japan.

Love how you put up the name of the location, and then leave it up long enough to write it down. Also love how you share the prices for everything. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you, I truly appreciate it. Make sure to check my latest season 10 as well
Thanks for making this video! I agree Osaka is too often over looked, I miss Osaka so much!
Please come back🛫
Just what I need! I’ll be in Osaka in a few days and I don’t have a concrete itinerary yet. This would really be a big help! Thanks!
it's realy interesting ,nice video 😍
Yo, I really liked your videos on Osaka and Shanghai, it gave me a real good idea of everything when I planned my trip and now I actually live close to Shanghai. Went to Japan recently and started posting my Japan series on my channel. Keep up the good work
Awesome video!!! Love it.
Thanks buddy, glad you like it
I'm here in November. I hope I bump into you man! I'll definitely be joining the Tokyo Pub Crawl you suggested too in your last video!
Great Job on this channel.! You make your trips and food interesting, tasty, exciting and fun..! Everyone should watch your channel that wants to enjoy their trips.! Cheers..!!!!
I stayed up for this upload, worth it.
I am happy you like it! Thanks again for watching another Reformatt video
I love osaka .merry chrimast.....
This is the best travel guide for Osaka EVER! I travel to Japan every year before the pandemic. Still, you covered tons of things I have never been to! You put in lots of hard work in researching! I really enjoy your videos! This channel is Pure Gold!
I will come to your channel every time whenever I travel anywhere from now on.
You are the best! Thank you for this nice comment. It is motivating for me to continue this channel ☺️
@@Reformatt I watched 2 videos of my hometown (and some other videos). There are some places that I have never been to! I got new places to go to this weekend. BIG thanks to you!
Also, if anyone can see this comment. This channel’s recommendations are so on point! It shows the regular tourist spots and those places only locals know! Not many channels can do that. Usually, people will just mention “famous tourist spots”, BUT NOT IN Reformmatt! I believe he has done tons of research. This kinda dedication is GOLD!
I love it when you mentioned spots only the locals know (or even locals don't know), I love to enjoy the real culture and lifestyle of a place when I travel.
Nice video,I would love to meet Momo when I visit Osaka next month 😉
大阪紹介する動画を数多く見た中で一番よかった✨
Lived just N of Osaka and went into Umeda often. Blarney Stone was a place I went to often.
It's really helpful the Fact that includes prices dude . Helps me with the budget and schedule for my trip to Japón late this year
Happy to hear that! are you going to Tokyo and Kyoto too?
,,your vids and the way you describe places and foods are just so amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing matt! ;)
Thanks Edwin 🙂 would you consider visiting Osaka after watching this video?
Reformatt Show yes actually after watching your series of Japan vlogs I included Japan in my bucket list! I probably be there after i finished Southeast asian countries.
This is the best videoooooo bout Osaka ive watched!!
Wow! Thank you, it means a lot to me. Have a fantastic day!!
This show was awesome dude.
Thank you! And good news! I am back after 2 years with a new season. Please check it out
Such an useful vid, thanks!
You are welcome! Did you have a good time in Osaka?
The Panbo pancake stick looked neat! I didn't see those when I visited Osaka a couple years back... but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places :)
I just went to add it to my itinerary and it says permanently closed 😩
I'm waiting for you in Osaka.
I hope you are safe now in 2021. Looking forward to your future videos.
Japan is my favourite place and I went there
This is a quality video packed with information, thank you!
I 've been there , love it
which food & place did you like the most?
Another amazing video. I've been to Osaka. But I missed so many things. On my next visit to Japan. I will use your videos and site to check all the places I missed. Off course shared this video with friends. To get them with me to Japan. Please more videos of Japan. Go everywhere 😄
I feel like I live in Osaka . when i watching this video🇯🇵❤️
ok this is gamechanger. i'll try some of this since i didn't see those before XD also Harukas looks much better than Umeda Sky Building for me. glad i ran into your channel :3
How lucky you travelling with someone.. I travelled Osaka alone for 8 days
I travel alone as well, I meet locals where I visit
Woooo so amazing food 😋😋😍❣️❣️👍
Yes, I agree with you, Osaka food is the best for food! Check the Lisbon, and Montreal food video as well. It's crazy
Awesome. I'm going to Osaka at the end of November! I'm so lucky CZcams recommended your video.
You are so lucky, I hope to go there some day, hopefully when I'm still young
@@waterlol4994 Same here...
@@charliew9388 good luck, I hope you reach your goal

You are not alone there hahha I going there in april for 2 week 😂
You guys will love it
We miss you man! Hope to see you back making videos again once things get back to "normal" ;) -Akina & Dustin
Matt, you need to create a travel app translated in all languages because your knowledge is very detailed and show's excellent credibility of your experiences.
Bravo !!! 👍✈🏆
I am planning on making full blown itineraries this is the first one, let me know if this is something that works for you www.reformatt.com/7-day-tokyo-pocket-itinerary
@@Reformatt I just read your itinerary and it looks excellent.
Might I suggest an additional list of the best hotels to stay at during these trips?!
For example, Sheraton Hotel in Tokyo Bay would be ideal when visiting Disney at Sea.
For the best deals on these trips may I please recommend these websites...
TripAdvisor.com
Kayak.com
Shopyourway.com
Much respect !!! 👍
You made Osaka amazing! I will go to this city and not just Toyko
@@theoeguia3302 Hope you got your passport ready. Shop the best deals online to travel and visit your doctor before you leave.
Você é muito lindo 😍😍
I'll keep this video in mind for my next trip(s) to Japan. Thanks. Are you sometimes the host of Trails to Oiishi Tokyo by the way?
I only host Reformatt Show
You reminds me of Male Version Uma Thurman. Kidding aside Great Vlog full of Tips
I gotta stop by Osaka when I come back to Japan to study abroad in Tokyo next year!!
Hi please make adventure things u can do in Japan video
Smart ball parlor! It's a cross between pachinko and pinball!
What where? What is the name of the bar?
Yo. You missed the Tennoji Zoo! It has polar bear and red pandas!
I love your accent
Omfgggg I’m so excited when I travel to Japan 😍😍😍🔥
Did you travel to Japan yet? How was your experience?
@@Reformatt Not yet in the future I will :))
I hope you will complete your dream
@@Reformatt Thanks ^^❤️✌🏻
8:51 there is an eye hair or hair in shushi the very first on the left .
no, that is tuna vain blood
Im waiting now cause I'm going to Japan next March 8th to 22nd 2020 next year with my brother
Have fun man. It’s a blast.
Was just checking your website for that hidden/narrow alley towards the end of your video…but not finding any mention of it.
Interesting video, I wonder how Matt stays thin after so much eating, or maybe it's just how things got edited. The aquarium looked great 🐟 is it near the self-fishing restaurant? 🤔 I wonder.
Lots of ways to burn off good food in japan
I lived in Osaka from 1998-2000....I was never a fan of takoyaki...damn a lot of the places in the video were not even built when i was there...I feel old!
Enough reason to visit again soon! You missed a lot
I'll be in japan in mid feb
if you're getting a JR Pass, check their site for Pocket WIFI instead.
they're slightly slower than Ninja WIFI, but they are far cheaper
Almost had a heart attack just watching that sandwich :-)
Hello thank you for the video, but I'm not able to download the travel guide from the link you provided, please kindly advise. Thanks
I will fix the maps on reformatt.com soon
Great videos. I checked your web site but could not find the secret alley for photos. Where is it?
Here is it, the secret alley way maps.app.goo.gl/n96trqBtGhCt3C8Q7 please give the video a like 🎉🥳🎈
in Greece we also refrigerate the beer glass. I thought this was a common practice
It's also very common in Mexico. Guess it's because of the warmer climate.
Osaka is the best city in Japann
Some places in America freeze the glasses. We call it a frosted mug 🍺
thinks for the tip, is that all over the USA?
Tokyo may be more dynamic #1 city in japan, but cost of living is more affordable in Osaka #2 or #3 city in japan (vs Yokohama).
Churaumi aquarium in Okinawa is Japan's largest aquarium.
Interesting food and place but what was the secret?! 🧐🤔
I hope corona will end soon and i can come to osaka kyoto and tokyo in 2021. All accomodation and ticket already bought tho. 😢
I hope you get to enjoy Japan, it is worth ever penny!!
Can I ask what’s the name of the secret alley called by the end of the video?
It's called "Ukiyo alley" which is "浮き世小路" in Japanese.
Ukiyo means "ephemeral" like Ukiyo-e which is
very famous Japanese art in the world.
It's a part of Hozenji-yokocyo (法善寺横丁）which is Hozenji-alley.
Hope you can get there.

KANSAI No. 1👍️🌟🌈
So nigiri chojiro or endo?
how long did it take you to learn Japanese?
Hi do you have the address of your sushi place - Endo sushi at the start of the video?
Yes, on the blog www.reformatt.com
19:10 where is this place? I spent 20 minutes looking and can't find it on your website.
It is on the main market street in dotonbori, right across the famous kushikatsu sigh
Hi Matt. How to get the discount for pub crawl??
Yourmomraises me Saw it in one of his previous videos ... maybe his website?
God damn I would live in this city lol
Yes Osaka is magical!
Panbo doesn’t exist anymore in the New American plaza building 😌
How much does it cost on the single journey..
How much of these purchases, in percentage, accepted a credit card, like Visa?
Nowadays, I would say 90% can do on credit card like VISA. However, always have some cash on hand. Are you visiting Osaka soon?
I’ve been a bartender for 15 years in California and everywhere I’ve worked we’ve ALWAYS frozen our beer mugs. 🤔🤨
Perhaps a Cali thing too...
@@Reformatt I worked in bars and restaurants in Florida for 5 years and we also always kept our beer mugs frosty...
How many times have you visted Japan?
I am currently on my 7th trip in Japan
Iced beer? No way! You only do that with cheap beers. Quality beer need temperatures 7 - 11 degrees celsius. Greetings from Bavaria.
where's the custard pudding from?
7/11
@@Reformatt Tx man, will definitely try it!!!
What the name of the song on 3:18??
I will try to find it for you
You missed Tumdra
Buy a SIM. Way better option that WIFI hot spot like he suggests.
Not if you have multiple devices and a laptop
NOT SO SECRET ALREADY NEW ABOUT THE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not all are secrets, it's a compilation

hi ☺️☺️🖐️i from Tama
This guy makes the same face every time he eats something lol

You forgot the real unique jewel of Osaka where luckily not many people are accepted:
•••••TOBITA SCHINCHI•••••
No place like that in all the planet.
why is there always an old woman siting outside the brothel? is she the pimp?
I...literally.....just thought that was a cool street of restaurants...😅😰
Japan Adventures
Actually they are restaurants.
Very special ones.
The license is the same.
I asked.
D C ok interesting I didn't know that see I'm going to Japan next year and doing some research so im sorry if I offended you I thought it was a street full of cool and awesome resturants
Japan Adventures
You know, Japan has many shadow zones... Said and unsaid walk hand by hand there. This makes Jpn the most amazing place a curious human can experience.
The longest soft serve ice cream Shop is now permanantly closed 😭
That sucks, the owner was so humble
@@Reformatt its a good thing that u read coments :)
the best custard is in hong kong
No way, in Japan!
@@Reformatt 🤣
