Explore Osaka with MIMARU’s Taiwanese Staff
“Our recommended spot to visit before or after exploring Osaka Castle is the Osaka Gourmet EXPO,” says a MIMARU staff member. Located within Osaka Castle Park, the Osaka Gourmet EXPO 2025 brings together around 30 food vendors, offering regional specialties in a spacious outdoor setting. Families can enjoy a relaxed tasting experience, sampling a wide range of Japanese dishes without the need for reservations.
The event runs from April 12 to October 13, 2025, at Taiyo-no-Hiroba in Osaka Castle Park. For more details, visit: https://osaka-gourmet-expo-com-t.athp.transer.com/about
“While Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are famous, we recommend visiting lesser-known spots like America-mura and Orange Street, where you can enjoy shopping and local culture,” says a MIMARU staff member. America-mura and Orange Street are vibrant neighborhoods near Shinsaibashi, filled with unique shops and local character, making them perfect for both kids and adults. Located just 25 minutes by subway from the Expo venue, they are also conveniently close to MIMARU’s Osaka properties.
