It's a big city but not as busy or crazy as Tokyo. It also serves as the main tourism hub of the incredibly diverse Kansai Region and it can be your gateway to other stunning destinations like Kyoto, Nara and Kobe. If you're planning to visit Osaka, here are some bits of information that you should be armed with, especially if it's your first time. ---------------- This video was shot before the COVID-19 pandemic.
