  • What are some things to do in Osaka?

    Midway between Kobe and Kyoto, Osaka is an important commercial, cultural and financial centre in western Japan. The great daimyo Toyotomi Hideoyoshi established a capital here during the 16th century and his former stronghold, Osaka Castle, is one of the city’s most visited and beloved landmarks. Many of its temples and shrines, such as Shitenno-ji (Buddhist) and Sumiyoshi Taisha Grand Shrine (Shinto), exemplify the importance of religion in Japanese culture and are fascinating places of interest. Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is one of the world’s largest and another hot ticket for visitors while Universal Studios hosts families by the tens of thousands each year. Food is tremendously important here and Osakan cuisine is recognised the world over for its quality and defining taste. Some of the city’s most popular restaurants are located in the Dotonbori, Shinsekai and Kitashinchi districts where you can sample specialties like teppanyaki, udon and takoyaki. A visit during July-August gets you ready for Tenjin Matsuri and Sumiyoshi Matsuri, Osaka’s two most important festivals.

  • Do I need a passport or visa to fly to Osaka?

    New Zealand nationals with an unexpired passport can travel to Osaka without a visa for a period of 90 days. Resident foreign nationals should seek advice regarding visa requirements from their local consulate or online.

  • What does KIX mean?

    This is just an IATA (International Air Transport Association) code. IATA codes are used in aviation to identify and differentiate airports. That’s why a Osaka Kansai Intl Airport flight would often be abbreviated as a KIX flight. Osaka Itami Airport (ITM), Kobe Airport (UKB) are some additional IATA codes for airports related to your trip.
