The beginning of summer usually coincides with the rainy season, called \u201ctsuyu\u201d, so the weather can be humid and rainy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Autumn (September to November)<\/strong>: After the hot summer, temperatures in autumn begin to drop, similar to spring, ranging between 15\u00baC and 25\u00baC. Again, the trees change colour creating picturesque landscapes, so you will also find more tourism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Winter (December to February)<\/strong>: Winters are relatively mild, but can get quite cold, with temperatures between 0\u00baC and 10\u00baC. Despite being in a mountainous area, it rarely snows. If you want to enjoy temples and shrines without the crowds, this may be a good time to visit Osaka.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading margin-top-0\" id=\"visa-to-travel-to-japan\">Visa to Travel to Japan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European citizens, along with those from many other countries, do not need a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/en\/japan-visa-application\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15146\">visa to visit Japan<\/a><\/strong> for tourism purposes.

Street stalls always offer us good food at a very good price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Kuromon Market you can try many varieties of local food: battera, okonomiyaki, takoyaki or kushikatsu in the endless restaurants and stalls inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-around-osaka\">How to Get Around Osaka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other Japanese cities, public transport is generally very comprehensive and efficient. Osaka, being the third largest city in the country, connects all the tourist spots in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the many options for getting around Osaka:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metro and Train<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osaka has the second most extensive <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westjr.co.jp\/global\/en\/timetable\/pdf\/map_osaka.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">network of train and subway<\/a><\/strong> lines in the country after Tokyo. Once you get the hang of the vending machines (similar to those in Tokyo), everything becomes quite easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Train Out of Town<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning to do some excursions around Osaka and visit other points of interest, the <strong>Kansai travel pass<\/strong> can be a good option for traveling around the Kansai region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bicycle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many locals get around by bike; using the sidewalks or staying as far to the left as possible if pedaling on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxi, Uber or Grab:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless you&#8217;ve gone out to dinner and are returning to your accommodation very late, it&#8217;s difficult to find a bus or metro station already closed. Therefore, it&#8217;s very unlikely that you&#8217;ll need to use apps like <strong>Uber or Grab<\/strong>. As you&#8217;ve seen, public transport covers almost the entire city, so make the most of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"map\">Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on the image and it will take you to a new Google Maps window with all the points of interest to travel around Osaka.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=12aO-WUfG9FlQv2y4f44hvoDUEjWkW71V&amp;usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conmochila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Osaka-mapa.jpg\" alt=\"Map of Osaka\" class=\"wp-image-39103\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Map of Osaka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite being the third largest city in Japan, Osaka offers considerably less than the two cities previously mentioned, and a couple of days should be more than enough to see the most important things.
