Come to this park and have a chill time with all the deer. They are so friendly. Playing with them is a must. Buy some food and give to them. It is so lovely.

The entire complex station,including the redevelopment area of JR Osaka Station. Department stores''DAIMARU'',fashion buildings''LUCUA OSAKA'', cinema complex,the shops and restaurants.

If you get experience from Tokyo Station, this station is "fingers in the nose". Just leave your platform from JR Train to go to Metro platform. I suggest you to buy a day pass 900 yens per person. It includes metro, bus and some trams (not all. if you want to visit Sumiyoshi-Taisha Shrine, you need to pay extra ticket fee).

Enjoyed their soba for 3 times during my stay in Osaka. It’s located at Grand Front Osaka South Tower on the 7th floor. They specialized in Handmade soba. The restaurant has their own unique side dishes too. Great place to go to if you happen to be around that area at Ofuka-Cho.
