Visitaremos lo mejor de Osaka en un día: templos y santuarios míticos, y todos esos barrios auténticos de Osaka. Comenzaremos en el gran santuario Sumiyoshi, donde prácticamente inició Japón. Tomaremos el viejo tranvía hacia Tennoji, donde visitaremos el primer templo budista de Japón, Shitennoji, y el místico Ishinji. Comeremos en Shinsekai, mi lugar favorito de Osaka y después iremos al corazón de la cultura popular, Nippon-bashi y Namba. Atravesaremos Dotonbori y terminaremos en Shinsaibashi y Amemura, barrios alternativos de Osaka. *Nota* Pueden cambiar Namba por Umeda o el Castillo de Osaka. En el caso de Umeda, moderna y vibrante, es donde nace una de las historias más famosas de Osaka y el teatro japonés: Los amantes suicidas de Sonezaki. De ir al Castillo de Osaka, nos adentramos en los terrenos de lo que alguna vez fue el símbolo de la unificación del país mientras les cuento chismes samuráis. Durante nuestro recorrido, les tomaré fotos con mi cámara para que recuerden su viaje y que ustedes son lo mejor de Osaka. 「Escríbeme si la experiencia no está disponible」
