Osaka Hidden Gems
La capital gastronómica de Kansai, donde el lema es «comer hasta caer». Desde el neón de Dotonbori y el takoyaki callejero hasta el castillo de Osaka y el santuario Sumiyoshi, la energía no para. También es la puerta al aeropuerto de Kansai y a Kioto o Kobe.

La cocina de Japón: una ciudad de comerciantes que forjó su identidad con comida callejera, comedia y una calidez directa, más que con templos.
