Osaka Station City

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in May 2021, the Osaka Station "City" is a collection of a train station, department stores, commercial facilities, recreational opportunities, hotels, offices, services, and plazas all in one place.

My first impression of Osaka Station City was, “It's really huge, with so much to explore!” As soon as you leave the station, you can feel the lively urban atmosphere. The nearby department stores, shops, and restaurants are all gathered together, making it very convenient to explore!

You can take your time browsing the stores on different floors, and when you get tired, just find a restaurant and grab something to eat. You never have to worry about not knowing where to go. Especially when you look out from the upper floors, the view of downtown Osaka really gives you that big-city feeling!

At Tempozan, besides riding the giant Ferris wheel, you shouldn't miss the nearby Tempozan Marketplace! The whole mall has a lively and fun atmosphere, with all kinds of restaurants, souvenir shops, and unique little stores to explore!
Tempozan Ferris wheel

With a height of 112.5 meters and a diameter of 100 meters, this is one of the world's largest Ferris wheels, lasting about 15 minutes per lap. On a clear day you can see as far as Mount Ikoma in Nara Prefecture to the east, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Hyogo Prefecture to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south, and Mount Rokko in Hyogo Prefecture to the north. While you are here in Osaka, you can feel as if you are taking a round trip around the Kansai area.

This Ferris wheel is such an iconic landmark! As the cabin slowly rises, the view of Osaka Bay gradually unfolds before your eyes. Seeing it from up high really feels different.

Sitting in the air-conditioned cabin and leisurely enjoying the scenery outside makes the whole ride very relaxing.
Hokkyokusei Shinsaibashi Honten

Founded in 1922, Hokkyokusei is a venerable Western-style restaurant known as the birthplace of omurice. The main restaurant was built in 1950 in the sukiya-zukuri style of traditional Japanese architecture, offering a unique moment with an iconic dish and picture-perfect view out over a Japanese garden.

Of course, when in Osaka, you have to try the famous omurice. Hokkyokusei has the strong atmosphere of a long-established Japanese restaurant, and just sitting down makes you feel like you're about to enjoy traditional Osaka cuisine.

The signature omurice looks simple, with a golden egg wrapping fragrant fried rice. It's smooth and tender, and the sweet-and-sour sauce gives it just the right flavor without being too rich!
