I decided to work and stay in Osaka for a few weeks last year and while I was there I cycled mostly everywhere I needed to go since Osaka is quite a small city.
In doing that I was able to explore more of Osaka past the touristy areas and find cool local spots, so in this video, I’ll show you the cycling route I did to visit some of my favourite lesser-known spots in Osaka!
