u/Trywa

Hey everybody! After reading through some of the replies on my last post about Tokyo, I made those adjustments and am looking for any more feedback for the 2nd leg of our trip to Osaka. Thanks in advance for any advice/feedback you may have!

August 7th: Arrive in Osaka. Walk to Dotonbori. Explore, eat. Cup noodle museum? Shopping, massage?

August 8th: Shittenoji Temple, walk to Shinsekai and eat street food, go to Tsutenkaku Tower? Osaka Castle, go back to the dotonbori area, Eat, then nightlife? Go to izekayas, Space bar (Gaming bar) dancing @ Girraffe, Bar hopping at Pink Elephant.

August 9th: Universal Studios? Or day trip to Nara? Both? Nara in the AM to visit the shrine, USJ in the afternoon/evening to see One Piece stuff? (Nakatanidou in Nara is traditional Mochi making we can watch). (If we don’t do USJ, we can do Kuroman Ichiba Market and Osaka Kizu Market + other shopping/night life)

August 10th: We leave for Kyoto! (Final Part 3 of our trip!)

I know that Osaka is a good place to eat a bunch of great food, so any recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated! I am also just looking for options of other things to do besides eat/shop, so if you have experiences we should look into, let me know!

Hey everybody! Myself, my wife, and a few friends are planning on going to Japan from August 2nd through the 13th. We have already booked our flights and hotels with a lot of help from this sub, and now I am trying to put together a loose itinerary! I will probably make a few more posts after this, but I just wanted to get any recommendations on our Tokyo Plan.

Tokyo from August 3rd-7th. Land on the 3rd, spend the evening settling in, getting exploring locally (We are staying in the Akusuka Area.) August 4th: Akusuka and Akihibara. Anime Stores in Akhibara, Ueno Park walk to visit shrines. Senso-Ji in Asukusa. River Boat tour? Tokyo Skytree at night (Tickets are currently available!)

August 5th: Shinjuku/Shibuya. Get on train to Shibuya. Shibuya Sky and Crossing. Shopping in Shibuya (Pokémon Center, Don Quijote, PARCO, MUGIWARA STORE). Grab food, head to Meiji Jingu Shrine. Walk and look around. Go to Shinjuku for night life and dinner. Golden Gai, Omoide Okocho, Karoake.

August 6th: Ginza/Tokyo Team Labs/Ramen Street in Tokyo Station. Tsukiji Fish Market (Touristy, I know, but we still want the experience. We plan on trying to stay away from certain shops that are clearly overpriced). I don't have much else planned for this day. We will be leaving for Osaka on the 7th.

I have some food places that I have found from other friends who have traveled and from looking at the michelin guide, but I am welcome to any and all suggestions you may have, or if anything I have put here for these few days seems overly ambitious, please let me know! Thank you all for your help in advance!
