Osaka is a big, bustling city that comes alive with neon lights, hawkers and store attendants calling out to possible customers and diners when the day ends and night begins. It draws both locals, looking for a spot to relax and unwind, and tourists, looking for an authentic experience. In this part of Kansai, you’ll find a variety of accommodations that are either on the luxurious side or budget end. If you’re looking for a place to stay in, two districts immediately come to mind, these are Namba and Umeda.

Umeda

Umeda is a nice location because of its proximity to dining, shopping and entertainment options. You can get spectacular bird’s eye views of the city below by getting on the HEP 5 Ferris Wheel or the viewing platform in the Umeda Sky Building (tip: go at night to see the galaxy-like skyline).

If you’re a fan of Pokemon, drop by the Pokemon Center inside the Daimaru Department Store. Nakazicho is a hip neighborhood you can visit while staying in this part of the city. You’ll see old style buildings interspersed with quaint shops and cafes. Some of the stores sell cool vintage items to add to your collection.

Namba

A hotel or hostel in Namba while in Osaka is also a viable option during your visit. Dotonbori’s neon lights and billboards attract tourists from all over; the most famous of which is the Glico Man. This is also where you can pig out on all sorts of Japanese food.

If you have more than enough money for shopping, drop by Shinsaibashi-suji. This is a centuries-old avenue that has several shops that sell clothes from various labels. If you want to get a glimpse of ancient times amid the modern concrete jungle, include the Hozenji Temple and Namba Yasaka Shrine to your places to visit in the area.
