If you're visiting Osaka, an excursion to the Osaka Science Museum and Osaka Castle should be at the top of your must-do list. These famed attractions have helped put this city on the map, and they're certain to make a big impression.

You're going to find yourself surrounded by noteworthy sights, including Universal Studios Japan® and Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade. If you're wanting to make the most of your urban adventure, be sure to take a look around the Osaka Museum of History and the Open Air Museum of Old Farmhouses.

Osaka Accommodations

Head to Osaka with ease knowing that you've got a place to lay your head. With at least 289 properties available, booking a cozy bed for your cheap vacation or luxury getaway won't be a problem!

If a generously stocked minibar and a swanky bathtub appeals to you, grab a bottle of wine and soak yourself in luxury at The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka (2-5-25 Umeda) or the InterContinental Osaka (3-60, Ofuka-cho Kita-ku). After something a bit cheaper? The Guest House Social House (2-10-22 Sanno) and the Khaosan World Namba (1-2-13, Motomachi, Naniwa-ku) are a couple of options that won't cost you a fortune.

If you're here on a short layover and only have time to visit Osaka's star attractions, book a room at the ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka or the Mitsui Garden Hotel Osaka Premier. Both are located conveniently close to the Osaka Science Museum.
