Travel guide Ōsaka

Ōsaka is 3 hours from Tōkyō by Shinkansen, the high-speed train, and 1 hour by air. In addition, its international airport hosts daily direct flights from Europe. Traveling alone in Japan is not a problem, as Japan is a very safe country and the Japanese are always ready to help you. The only problem is the language. Japanese people rarely master English. Bring a lexicon or Google translation. Book a few nights in a hostel before leaving. On the spot you will make contacts and find accommodation at good prices.

To Japan, the offer is very wide. You will be offered the combined discovery of Kyōto and Ōsaka, for example. Contrary to popular belief, small budgets can find a package for a stay in Ōsaka, in freedom, at a decent price, with accommodation in a small room. Big budgets have the choice of stays in luxury ryokans.

In Ōsaka you have a choice of transportation: cab, subway or train. For the cab, write down the address of your destination in Japanese on a piece of paper in advance, as not all drivers know English. Public transportation is efficient. If you travel a lot, it is better to buy passes. The city is served by 9 subway lines, 6 major train lines and 10 regional lines that connect the city to its suburbs.
