Osaka, Japan
A lot of people (myself, included) think that a trip to Japan should start and end in the country's capital, Tokyo. I disagree. I do agree that Tokyo should be included on a trip to Japan, but there is also one place that must be included, always. That place is the city of Osaka. Osaka is a small town designed as a big city. It's not as busy and as impersonal as Tokyo, and it has all its little quirks as a city.
It's very easy to get around the city with its excellent public transportation system, both above and under...
