What goes into a guide
Each page is built around well-established, verifiable facts about Osaka — history, geography, how a district or attraction actually works — rather than personal opinion presented as fact. Where a detail is genuinely a matter of taste (which okonomiyaki restaurant is 'best,' say), the guide tries to say so rather than presenting it as settled. Wherever possible, guides link to primary and official sources — government tourism boards, transit operators, museum and temple websites — so readers can verify a detail themselves or dig deeper.
Why some pages avoid specific numbers
Prices, exact opening hours, visa rules and similar details change often enough that printing a specific figure in a guide risks it going stale within months. Where that's the case, this site deliberately favours a general framework — how to think about the cost, what to check, where the official source lives — over a precise number that might be wrong by the time you read it. For anything time-sensitive, like visa requirements or entry rules, we link directly to the relevant government or consular source rather than restating figures that could change.
Corrections
If something on this site is out of date or wrong, the Contact page is the way to flag it, and corrections get made directly rather than left to accumulate. We'd rather hear about a mistake and fix it than have it sit uncorrected.
