After a handful of visitors made the journey overseas to visit me, I thought I would share the same 10 day itinerary I recommended them to follow.

The Umeda Yukata Festival 2016 will be held this weekend (30 and 31 July) in the heart of Umeda.

Osaka is not only great for shopping, bars and sightseeing, it also houses many great foods!

As well as anime, manga, video games, the latest technology and some of the best public transport in the world, Japan is home to some delicious foods, snacks and desserts that you can't get anywhere else.
