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.
An escape from the city streets, the grounds of what was once the Osaka City Hall, are the perfect place to take a coffee and a good book. With views across the Okawa River and oodles of cherry trees, greenery, and shrubs; it's hard to believe you're just five minutes from the heart of the city.
