Osaka Pocket Precincts: A Pocket Guide

Osaka Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city s best cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.

Osaka is Japan's third largest city, often thought of as Tokyo's brash, messy and always hungry cousin. Known for its street food, friendly locals and a thriving band scene, Osaka also knows how to go large. At night, neon signs guide you to tiny bars, live music, and unique places to drink and dance. Divided into separate precincts, each section in Osaka Pocket Precincts takes in one of Osaka's major areas, listing the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area, with insider reviews of both outstanding attractions and hidden gems, as well as easy-to-use maps.

Osaka Pocket Precincts also includes a selection of 'field trips' that encourages you to venture further afield to Nara, Wakayama, and the spiritual retreat of Mount Koya and Arima Onsen.
