Situated in the Kansai region, Osaka is the 2nd-smallest prefecture in Japan but it boasts the country’s 3rd-largest population. Surrounded by the Tokyo mountains and Osaka Bay, its natural scenery and unique culture are key ingredients to the city’s economic success. Popular attractions include Osaka Castle, numerous temples and shrines, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and the National Museum of Art, Osaka. Historically a merchant city, Osaka earned its name as the “nation’s kitchen” for serving as a rice-trading center during the Edo period. Its world-famous cuisine includes takoyaki (fried octopus), udon (noodle dish), traditional oshizushi (pressed sushi) and more. The city is also known for its fine sake, made with freshwater from the prefecture’s mountains. Osaka is home to more than 35,000 wholesale and resale shops, mostly located in Chuo and Kita, 2 of the city’s 24 wards.

By booking this DreamTrip I understand that the hotel may request a credit card upon check-in. The hotel may request the credit card in order to: a) place a monetary hold of US$50-200; or b) hold for incidental, security or other charges. By booking, I acknowledge having received notice of this potential charge and accept that Rovia™ recommends a credit card rather than a debit or bank card be used in the event the hotel requests the card. I understand that any such request made by the hotel is outside of the control of WorldVentures™ and Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia or WorldVentures.
