Japan’s second-largest city, Osaka, is the unofficial culinary capital of Japan. Its backstreets and laneways are filled with restaurants and bars serving delicious local cuisine. Osaka is also home to some of Japan’s most famous castles, temples, and monuments from the past, just waiting to be explored. The 16th-century Osaka Castle is a magnificent white and gold landmark that should not be missed.
