An Itinerary for Osaka

Osaka is the third largest city in Japan. It naturally grew into a flourishing economic center and became the gateway to Japan for travelers and traders from all over Asia. Here is an itinerary for my Osaka tour. First day, we are going to the Osaka Aquarium. Osaka Aquarium is one of the largest aquariums in the world. Here you could find a lot of marine animals. After lunch, we will go to the Osaka Castle. It is a famous landmark and the symbol of Osaka. At blossom season the grounds are beautiful. If you are lucky, you might be catch a sumo tournament, sometimes held in the Osaka Castle Park. Next, we are going too to the Umeda and Namba. Both are the best-known shopping area in Osaka, each full of restaurants and department stories. Many tourists enjoy window-shopping and savoring food along the way. Next day, we will go by JR express trains to the Universal Studios Japan. We would plan to spend a full day there, where most of exciting attractions are found. Above is my rough plan, but the final itinerary may vary from the sample posted here.
