Day 2 in Osaka

We have breakfast at a good cafe near the hotel. Visitors recommend all kinds of coffee, they are magical here. The cafe is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 to 22:00. On Sunday, the cafe opens later, at 11:00. There are seats outside.

Universal Studios Japan is one of the most popular parks in Japan. There are four such parks in total. The park has nine themed areas that are dedicated to famous Hollywood movies made by Universal Studios.

1. "Universal's Wonderland": this part of the amusement park is geared towards families with children.
2. Amity Village amusement complex: for thrill-seekers and fans of the sense of fear and adrenaline.
3. "Water World: battles and contests in the water.
4. "Wizarding World of Harry Potter": one of the most impressive areas dedicated to our favorite movie! Visitors say that after visiting it, no parks are more impressive ;)
5. "Jurassic Park" - water rides, and dinosaurs everywhere.
6. "San Francisco": the fire from the movie "Fire Whirlwind".
7. "Minion Park": remember the "Ugly Me" cartoon!
8. "New York": rides with all the famous Spider-Man.
9. "Hollywood": here you have to ride the roller coaster Hollywood Dream - The Ride - Backdrop and Hollywood Dream - The Ride.

Almost the entire area has restaurants and stores, just as themed.
Up-to-date park schedules and prices are posted on the park's website. The rides usually open from 8:30-9:00 a.m. and are open to the public until 7:00-22:00 p.m. There may be queues.

Without entering the museum itself, you can enjoy the unusual modern building, which, by the way, has two more floors underground. The museum has exhibits of contemporary Japanese and international art, photo galleries, and sculptures. Photography, however, is not allowed. There is a film about the lives of foreign artists with English subtitles. For art connoisseurs this is the place to be!

You can dilute your diet with American food or just be in a place where you are better understood in English ;) Visitors note the sandwiches, burgers, and wings, and they especially single out the helpful staff. There is also a bar with a full range of different cocktails. You can pay by card.
The restaurant is open every day from 11:00 to 23:00

In Osaka, this place is considered a popular meeting place for tourists (because there is no way to miss it) and locals. The running man is the symbol of Glico, a confectionery brand in Japan that has been around for 80 years. At night he turns into a huge neon sign. There are always tourists taking lots of pictures from completely different angles, it will be fun to look at! Or maybe you'll become a participant yourself :)

The next landmark is Tsutenkaku. By the way, it also has an observation deck.
Opening hours are Monday through Sunday from 9 to 21.

Bar Nayuta is a very interesting and, even, hidden place, small in size, so cozy. An interesting feature is that there is no menu. Just tell me what you wanted - they'll make it for you with no problem. This is better for those who don't know much about cocktails and are worried that the cocktail won't taste good.
The bar is open from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m.
On your way or after the bar, take a walk down Shinsaibashi Street, it's not far at all. There's an American neighborhood called Americamura. Lots of stores - you can go shopping.
