Travel Tips for Osaka

1. Sonn's Tip on Osaka
Osaka, Chūbu Region, Japan
Get a work visa for Korea! I have it memorized as we did the trip 5 times! Go to Namba station and walk 6 blocks to the Korean embassy. Have noodles while you wait! E-2 visas are crazy. Check your school, grades, DNA, etc.

2. Emma's Tip on Takayama
Takayama, Chūbu Region, Japan
This is a really fun town to get lost in and just wander the streets. Keep in mind that 4 is the Japanese version of 13 and a lot of hotels don't have a room 4. (so if you are booking for a group rooms 1-5 are only 4 rooms, often.)

4. Rio's Tip on Takayama
Takayama, Chūbu Region, Japan
I used to live here. If you go there make sure you go during the festival seasons. Small beautiful town with lots of Festival action. The best are the hand held firework festivals. All other major cities do modern day fireworks but Takayama does special hand held ones, which look awesome!

The people of Osaka speak Kansai-ben, or Kansai dialect of Japanese. While you are there, don't hesitate to pick up a few phrases!

8. Michael's Tip on Osaka
Osaka, Chūbu Region, Japan
Impress the locals by uttering their greeting in natve dialect: Phonetically it is "Mow-ka-ti-ma-ka ?" The answer: "bochi-bochi de na." Osaka-ites tend to be more open than their northern counterparts in Tokyo - feel free to strike up a converstaion with anyone.

9. Peter's Tip on Osaka
Osaka, Chūbu Region, Japan
Be sure to check out Osaka Castle while you're here, or the very, very large outdoor market. The Korean embassy is located here as well, if you're working on getting a visa.

10. Parris's Tip on Osaka
Osaka, Chūbu Region, Japan
If you want to get your bearings, head over to Umeda Sky Building in Umeda. You can hang out on the roof for only 700yen and get an amazing view of the whole northern half of the city. Make sure to bring your camera!
