Osaka Japan travel info
Recently I have been seeing lots of travel shows that feature Japan, which of course makes me even more interested to visit the place. Here are some travel info when you decided to visit Japan specifically Osaka, the second largest city of the country.
Watch some Sumo. You may become a certified sumo fans after attending the Sumo Spring Grand Tournament usually held in March at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium.
Try the Floating Garden Observation Deck. The platform is usually a bridge that connects the two towers of the Omeda Sky Building and gives you a 360 degrees view of Osaka and it’s surrounding locales. The sights are breathtaking, but the heights of 170m us dizzying.
Watch a puppet show. The National Bunraku Theater is one of the worlds where you can watch these traditional puppet shows that date back to the Edo period. Sounds childish? Well, think twice as the huge puppets require three operators each. Add the traditional Japanese narrative and music that are so captivating.
Visit a 500-year old Fuedal Castle. Himeji Castle, located outside Osaka will require extra travel, but it’s worth it. It’s Japan’s oldest and most beautiful surviving castle. This UNESCO World Heritage site remains intact and undamaged by wars or disasters.
Explore the Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum. The world would have been a dreary place without instant ramen, so make sure that you pay tribute to its inventor, Momofuku Ando, at this campy museum. Get your hands dirty and make your own noodles from scratch or choose unique flavors and design instant ramen cups.
