Oft-overlooked Osaka should truly not be missed. With big-city excitement and small-town warmth, we love it more and more every time we go.
We're pointing you in the direction of this vast department store for one reason: it's incredible food floor. Head straight down to the basement (unless you fancy doing a spot of shopping) where you will find plenty of stalls serving excellent food, and for the beer lovers out there, some wonderful craft beer. From bento boxes, sweet stalls, Japanese teas: you're sure to find some hamper must-haves.
