Day trip to osaka from tokyo

Only have 1 day in Osaka, Japan? Don’t worry!

You can visit the main attractions, restaurants, shopping and history within a day. But only if you plan it properly!

This one day Osaka itinerary shares exactly how to see the best of the city (from top landmarks to hidden gems) in a limited amount of time.

Matthew and I have been to Osaka twice:2 weeks as tourists on vacation and 1.5 months living in Osaka as digital nomads.

This city became our home and we were able to explore the cool landmarks, attractions and find hidden gems throughout our time in Osaka.

You can certainly spend longer in Osaka but there’s just so much to see and do that you only end up having short, full days in some cities.

We use our experience living and exploring this city to give you the top things to do, see and places to eat that we think are worth it (and those that aren’t worth it), including efficient transport logistics to for the most efficient itinerary.

In this guide, we take you through our personalized itinerary of how to see the highlights of Osaka in one day an
