What To Do In Osaka Other Than Dotonbori!
Osaka is known as the Kitchen of Japan and is a must see destination and you may have heard of Universal Studios Japan, but did you know nearby is another crazy looking facility like something from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? We explore some of the lesser known parts of Osaka including side alleys of Dotonbori, Sumiyoshi Temple, and hidden parts of Umeda Station and an incinerator plant that will blow your mind! Osaka Castle is popular but crowded with tourists, so come with us and discover these lesser known parts of this amazing city.

You had me at Kitchen! Let's Feast!
Another great video! Thanks for opening the world of Japan to me!
Great video, thanks for dhsring. And if you are in Osaka around Christmas time be sure and check out the decorative window displays at Hankyu department store. They are simply amazing.
😁I had to laugh at "Trash talk is universal." Thanks for another look at how Japan is unique.
Very cool architecture!
These videos are awesome!
