With all the amazing places there are to see in Japan, visitors often end up spending only a few days in Osaka. Even more unfortunately, visitors often restrict their Osaka sightseeing to over-commercialized tourist trapsโUniversal Studios, Kaiyukan Aquarium, Dotonbori Bridge, and Osaka Castleโand think they have seen everything. Himeji Castle is an authentic 17th century Japanese castle with the original wooden structure still intact.
It is also known as the most beautiful castle ever built in Japan and is well worth the one-hour train ride from Osaka. Suffice it to say that Osaka has a lot to offer that does not require queuing or paying hefty entry fees.
If you only have a couple days in Osaka, the following is how I would suggest you spend that time. A tattoo from one of our veteran artists at Good Times Ink is a not only a great souvenir, but will be a permanent reminder of your visit. Good Times Ink is located in America Mura, one of the most exciting districts in Osaka, so if you are traveling with family or friends, the neighborhood is full of places for them to visit or dine while you get your ink. On the other hand, they can lounge around on our comfortable sofas while they wait.
We have high-speed free WiFi and a large screen TV, free coffee and snacks and comfortable sofas, so the wait will go quickly. A word of cautionโwe try to accommodate walk-ins, but it is not always possible. To ensure you get your tattoo, make arrangements in advance. When doing so, provide as many photos and as much information as possible about the design you have in mind.
The more we communicate prior to your appointment, the smoother the process will be. Feel free to contact me directly in English at:. After getting your tattoo, you may want to find a nice little eatery in the neighborhood and head back to your accommodations to rest up for DAY 2.
