Is Totally Osaka affiliated with any official tourism board?
No. Totally Osaka is an independent guide, not an official or government tourism site. We link out to official sources where it matters, particularly for things like visa rules and attraction opening hours that can change.
How is the site kept current?
Guides are periodically reviewed and revised as details change — transit routes, attraction hours, and similar practical information. Anything genuinely time-sensitive, like visa requirements, links directly to an official source rather than relying on a number printed on this site.
How do you decide what to cover?
The priority is depth over breadth: fewer, more thorough guides rather than a large number of thin ones. Practical logistics, neighbourhood orientation, and the sights and dishes that define the city come first, with more specialised topics layered in over time.
I found something out of date. What do I do?
Please get in touch — details are on the Contact page. Travel information changes constantly, particularly prices, hours and transit details, and corrections from people who've been there recently are genuinely valuable to us.
Is Totally Osaka available in other languages?
Yes — the site is available in both English and Japanese, with every department covered in both.
