Located between Namba Station and Dotonbori, it’s within walking distance of everywhere. After unpacking and freshening up, get ready to head out for dinner.

Since you can enjoy unlimited wagyu and tuna here, it made for a properly hearty first-night dinner. Starting with meat like this on a day of long-distance travel really gets your travel energy up.

For a first-night-in-Osaka 인증샷, it has to be in front of the Glico sign. It is crowded, but that lively atmosphere is what really captures the feel of Dotonbori.

A select shop that brings together a variety of furniture and interior accessories in one place. You can browse stylish interior accessories, fragrances, and furniture.

This robatayaki restaurant grills everything fresh over charcoal, and most of the menu items are the same price, so it was easy to order a variety of dishes and share them. Eating amid the old-fashioned alley atmosphere unique to Hozenji Yokocho made that evening the most memorable one.

It was really close to my accommodation, so I walked there and back without any hassle. It’s a tiny place that can fit just six people, but the spicy broth is incredible. It felt like it completely loosened up my legs after walking all day, so there was nothing better for a late-night snack.

If you want an affordable and hearty Japanese breakfast, this place is an absolute recommendation. A hot bowl of miso soup and grilled fish will make for a satisfying morning. The prices are also on the affordable side.
