Worth the hype
If you're in the area, the Umeda Sky building is worth visiting. Gorgeous views of the city from an open air observation deck.

Must try snacks
Anything from a Japanese bakery! Sweet or savoury, there's so much variety. My favourite is melonpan.

Architecture: Old Vs New
The view from the Asakusa culture tourist info center. One side Sensoji Temple, the other side Skytree.

Underrated
Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park Osaka
Beautiful park with a botanical garden, lake and waterfalls. Also a windmill surrounded by flowers. I never see this place as a recommendation but it is definitely worth a visit.

Recommend a restaurant
Technically a cafe but to any FFXIV fans, the Eorzea cafe Osaka branch is worth it. The food was surprisingly tasty for a themed place, plus you get a free coaster with everything you get on the menu.

Train tips
Invest in a Pasmo or Suica card. Seriously makes using the trains so easy. Also don't be afraid to ask train station staff for help, they usually go out of their way.

What surprised you about Japan?
Vending machines are everywhere! And nobody smashes them to steal the contents! As would happen in my country.

Souvenirs
I like to make up a goodie bag of snacks from Daiso and Don Quixote. Kitkats and other sweets, jelly drinks and other things not available in my country. I'll throw a few things like stickers and a key chain in there too.

Happy memories
Being a fan of cats we enjoyed Gotokuji temple and surrounding Setagaya greatly, such a nice neighbourhood. We even saw the new maneki neko train!

Planning tips
I use Google maps to help navigate train stations in Japan. It tells you the line, the platform, the time and I've always found it to be very accurate. Probably better apps out there that do more but it's always helped me out a lot.

Hidden Spot
Not sure how "hidden" it is, but Shukkeien Garden in Hiroshima is worth visiting. full of koi and turtles to feed, a bamboo forest and museum plus beautiful flowers and scenery. Very peaceful.
