Famous for its down-to-earth citizens and hearty cuisine, Osaka combines a few historical and cultural attractions with all the delights of a modern Japanese city. Indeed, Osaka is surpassed only by <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=356817">Tokyo</a> as a showcase of the Japanese urban phenomenon.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1oCFwhpTQaSvKQQYQzdR6Iq6E56VJC1cIqmoBFW8F6zzuarNqgvA02t0CAvDyEYwRjXyrto9nlQu8i8of5KotwGLfMgrOzPClfrmsCAE_o_xV5bQv289QmSGyyF1iCpy9RKqdqAu3513P/s1600/Osaka+Japan+30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1oCFwhpTQaSvKQQYQzdR6Iq6E56VJC1cIqmoBFW8F6zzuarNqgvA02t0CAvDyEYwRjXyrto9nlQu8i8of5KotwGLfMgrOzPClfrmsCAE_o_xV5bQv289QmSGyyF1iCpy9RKqdqAu3513P/s200/Osaka+Japan+30.jpg" width="200" /></a>This isn’t to say that Osaka is an attractive city; almost bombed flat in WWII, it appears an endless expanse of concrete boxes punctuated by <i>pachinko </i>(pinball) parlours and elevated highways. But the city somehow manages to rise above this and exert a peculiar charm. At night, Osaka really comes into its own; this is when all those drab streets and alleys come alive with flashing neon, beckoning residents and travellers alike with promises of tasty food and good times. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-OMv4yUuolJi5Fn_I9NALEuzvZ7GYdv7XVL0rcEZlLUuWIHNWZvtTIp0nMH96tC5QEMTncAvjCsTJoj6_Ty2e4bFox_DXo18w3FNSawTDi2QNwJ3ayX6X5MQVlpLL7Xq4xXAj0HOw_f3G/s1600/Osaka+Japan+22.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-OMv4yUuolJi5Fn_I9NALEuzvZ7GYdv7XVL0rcEZlLUuWIHNWZvtTIp0nMH96tC5QEMTncAvjCsTJoj6_Ty2e4bFox_DXo18w3FNSawTDi2QNwJ3ayX6X5MQVlpLL7Xq4xXAj0HOw_f3G/s320/Osaka+Japan+22.JPG" width="320" /></a>Osaka’s highlights include Osaka-jō and its surrounding park, Osaka Aquarium with its enormous whale shark, the <i>Blade Runner </i>nightscapes of the Dōtombori area and the wonderful Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses. But Osaka has more to offer than its specific sights; like <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=356817">Tokyo</a>, Osaka is a city to be experienced in its totality, and casual strolls are likely to be just as rewarding as structured sightseeing tours.<a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/japan/kansai/osaka#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText">Show in Lonely Planet</span></a><br /><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><h3 class="themeHeading">More about Osaka </h3><ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiISajJ8WWRL2A0p3xtP6f8WZNYxUTiSad8-xH-9ON-7tm_adD7dl-OdSUBou17uBbnpWAGdhXLT8lBzLyW0q4k3xb2gcc4kDUEkjv4N8R0ckuTtWA7bL_1D8gssWTbZHkqBIzM6wC4oN21/s1600/Osaka+Japan+20.jpg" style="clear: right;
