Your travel to Osaka would not be complete without visiting the popular tourist attractions such as Shitennoji Temple,Osaka Castle Park, Osaka Aquarium,Tennoji Park, Universal Studios Japan, Hep Five, Nanba Grand Kagetsu, Spa World, bars and pubs and Dotombori. This article is about the fun things that you can do in each of these places, so enjoy and prepare yourself for adventures of a lifetime.

Shitennoji Temple is one interesting place that you should visit because it is known to be the first ever sponsored Buddhist house of worship in the country. You will not be paying for any fee unless you want to enter the Treasure Hall in which you will be charged 200 yen. You can visit Osaka Castle Park from 9 am to 5 pm. There are about six floors and in every floor you can find different features. For instance, the first floor is where you will see the information, museum store and theater room and more of the replica of the Castle on the second floor. Hidegoshi Toyotomi and the Golden Tea Room are located on the third and fourth floors. On the fifth floor, you will be amazed by the scenes of: “ Summer war of Osaka”. A diorama of the life of Hidegoshi Toyotomi can be seen on the sixth floor.

If you want something more of an outdoor activity, then I recommend Tennoji Park. There you can see different animals and beautiful gardens. Moreover, if you want to visit a Hollywood type of place, then try Universal Studios Japan. They have added a touch of 4th dimension to the movie experience and are famous among the locals as well. And what is unique about the bars and pubs in Japan is that most of the people do not socialize with other groups unlike in other countries where they go out and meet other people. But if you are more of a social person and wish to talk and know others, then a place called Gaijin Bar is what you need. Also, in order not to leave without regrets, try places such as the Hep five, Nanba Grand Kagetsu, Spa World, Osaka Aquarium and Dotombori. You will discover more and eventually say that your travel to Osaka is worth it.

For the most part, each of the places that I have mentioned is unique in its own ways and is worth visiting. When you travel to Osaka, try to discover many wonders so that you will enjoy the whole trip.
