Zuboraya’s big globefish-shaped sign is one of the landmarks of Osaka. If you are looking for tecchiri (a hotpot dish with globefish) at a reasonable price, this is the place to be. Zuboraya uses fresh globefish directly delivered from the fish market in western Japan, and its original ponzu made of hand squeezed sudachi (Japanese citrus) brings out the natural flavor of the fish. By the end of the meal, the soup of the hotpot becomes richer so that you can enjoy tasty rice porridge to finish off the meal.

Yamachan is one of the most popular takoyaki restaurants in Osaka, where the dish originated. What makes Yamachan’s takoyaki distinctive is the taste of the dough, which blends original chicken soup stock cooked with various fruits and vegetables, and Japanese style soup of kelp and bonito. Cooked on its special takoyaki pan at a very high temperature, the outside of the takoyaki ball is crisp but the inside remains nice and creamy. Although it is tasty without any sauce, you can also try it with their special soy sauce and ponzu.

While Osaka and the Kansai region are rife with Buddhist shrines, the Sumiyoshi-taisha Shrine is special in that it predates the appearance of Buddhism in Japan, and instead honors Shinto – Japan’s indigenous religion, which envelops the island nation’s folklore and mythology. The shrine is built in the Sumiyoshi-zukuri architectural style and is the oldest existing example of it. This style is characterized by clean, simple lines rather than elaborate curves, bold colors of red, black and white, and a roof that slants rather than curves up. The shrine is surrounded by beautiful grounds with natural scenery that changes by the season, so even if you are not interested in religion or history,

Danjiri Matsuri
The Danjiri Matsuri, (float festival) is said to have its origin in the “Inari Matsuri” held in the 16th year of the Genroku era(1703). Created by the Lord of Kishiwada Castle to pray for an abundant harvest, the festival, from its very beginning, enjoyed tremendous local support. The Danjiri Matsuri quickly grew in significance for the people of Kishiwada. Gates normally barring townspeople from entering the castle grounds were thrown open on festival days. Feudal Lords of Kishiwada looked on as each Danjiri was drawn in, and each Danjiri pulling team staged various, high-spirited performances.
