Discover Osaka
with Cathay Pacific
Neon-lit Osaka is Japan’s third-largest city and part of the central Kansai region, offering easy access to traditional sites like Kyoto, Nara and Himeji Castle. Yet the city itself is just as intriguing.
Locals have a reputation for being good humoured and for kuidaore (eating until you drop). Join them in feasting on a seasonal kaiseki menu or street food favourites like takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (pancakes). Find out why the city is known as ‘the nation’s kitchen’, plus discover highlights such as a world-class aquarium and majestic castle with our Osaka travel guide.
