2. Hidden Gems in Shinsekai: Besides the main tourist spots, explore side streets for lesser-known eateries offering regional specialties like grilled fish or tempura.
3. Visit during the Osaka International Ladies' Day Parade (OL Parade): Held annually in March, it’s a fun event celebrating women and offers a unique glimpse into Japanese pop culture.
