3-day tour to Osaka
Day 1: Departure from Home Country
Day 2: Arrival / Osaka
In the early morning, tourists take a super-speed train from Tokyo to Osaka. It takes 3 hours to Shin-Osaka. After arriving in Osaka, they eat lunch. The two largest shopping districts are Umeda in the north and Namba in the south. The Umeda area (also known as Kita) is served by JR Osaka Station and Umeda Station, while the Namba area (also known as Minami) is served by Namba Station.
Both areas have a large concentration of department stores, shopping arcades, and some of Japan's most extensive underground shopping malls. Tourists take a look at these two areas and go shopping for souvenirs. Then, in the late afternoon, they go to the hotel.

It was burned down in a series of battles in the 17th century and was reconstructed later. In the north of Osaka Castle, there is Sakura-no-miya-koen Park at Sakura-no-miya on the east bank of the Okawa River. They enjoy a beautiful view.
