Discover Japan Beyond the Guidebooks
Osakaa.net is an independent English-language media for people who want more than sightseeing.
This is not a guide for checking off famous spots or rushing through one-day itineraries.
It’s for people who are considering Osaka as a place to stay, live, and use as a base to explore Japan.
Osaka is often described as loud, messy, or “less polished” than Tokyo or Kyoto.
We see it differently.
Osaka is a city with an easy rhythm.
People talk to you. Food is affordable and forgiving. Neighborhoods feel human, not curated.
It’s a city where daily life matters more than appearances.
Osakaa.net focuses on the everyday side of Osaka:
where to live, how much things really cost, which areas match different lifestyles, where locals actually eat, and how foreigners navigate work, housing, and long stays in the city.
Our readers are not typical tourists.
They are digital nomads, remote workers, long-term travelers, creatives, and curious newcomers who want to experience Japan beyond the surface.
If Tokyo feels overwhelming, and Kyoto feels too crowded or performative, Osaka often becomes the answer.
Osakaa.net exists to help you decide whether Osaka is right for you — and to help you live better once you’re here.
Our Vision
Japan is more than temples, sushi, and skyscrapers.
It is a place where centuries-old traditions live side by side with innovation, where nature changes dramatically from north to south, and where every region has its own personality.
Our goal is to:
Osaka for people who don’t want to be tourists
Osaka as a place to live, not just visit
Your base in Japan starts in Osaka
We believe the best travel experience starts with understanding.
