Osaka is Japan's warm, unpretentious kitchen, a city that lives to eat and laugh. Neon-lit Dotonbori sizzles with takoyaki and okonomiyaki stalls, historic Osaka Castle stands proud in its park, and the locals are famously friendly and quick with a joke. It is also the perfect base for day trips to the temples of Kyoto and the deer of Nara. Come hungry and let the Kansai spirit win you over!

When to go

Spring, late March to April, brings cherry blossoms and mild weather but big crowds. Autumn, October to November, offers crisp air and colourful foliage, another favourite. Summer is hot and very humid, while winter is chilly but generally dry and less busy. Book well ahead for cherry blossom and autumn leaf seasons, when both prices and visitor numbers peak.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From Quebec City or Montreal, plan on well over a day of travel to Kansai airport. You will connect in Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, then usually a Japanese or Asian gateway such as Tokyo before Osaka. Expect two or more stops, long layovers, and a large time difference of about thirteen hours ahead, which means real jet lag. Flights often cross overnight, so plan a gentle arrival day.

Good to know before you go

Getting around is a dream: trains and subways are punctual, clean, and cover everything, and an ICOCA IC card lets you tap on and off with ease. Taxis are excellent but pricey, and ride-hailing is minimal, mostly the GO taxi app. The currency is the Japanese yen, and while cards are increasingly accepted, keep some cash for smaller spots. Japanese is the main language, with limited English, so a translation app helps. Tap water is safe to drink. Be quiet on trains, do not tip, and carry your trash until you find a bin.
