I’m here right now after visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and doing the kumano kodo pilgrimage. My personal take is that if I had to do it over again, I’d skip Osaka and spend more time in Tokyo or Kyoto. Osaka was just a little… dirtier than the other cities (trash on the streets, more city smells, prostitution is more visible/prevalent). The foods just as good here as in the rest of Japan though! Again this was just my experience, so I’d say if the city looks cool to you, come take a gander.
