Pro Tip
Osaka is the ultimate foodie city, so don’t leave without trying takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu (and thank me later!).
If you have extra time, hop on the train to Kyoto for a day trip to see some historic temples or take the bullet train to Tokyo for an extended trip. With flights this cheap, why not make it a whole tour?
Now go book before these fares disappear! ✈️ For real though, this one is insane.
