So, he obviously knows better than me, but i prefered osaka over tokyo a lot. If you’re european, you’ll probably feel the vibe is a bit cooler and more familiar than the typical salaryman tokyo
Yeah that’s true. As a solo european traveler it was a little bit easier to connect and talk to others in Osaka than Tokyo. And way less tourists, because most of people go to Kyoto i guess.
Kinda felt that way - we spent a week in Shinsekai in Osaka - in an area Japanese people apparently consider a bit dodgy - it was a bit more dirty, people not following all rules 100% of time and some questionable businesses here and there - really reminded us of home back in Europe! ;-)
