Osaka

Welcome to Osaka, a cosmopolitan, multicultural melting pot of a destination rich in heritage and famous for its world-class cuisine.

Catch your private jet charter to Japan, with Osaka’s Kansai airport your final destination. Leaving the manmade island that houses the airport, you’ll head 22 miles across the island of Honshu and to Osaka’s downtown, where you’ll begin your adventure in East Asia.

Where you stay in the city, home to almost 2.7 million people, is a matter of personal preference but you can’t go too far wrong checking into a hotel like the Marriott’s W Osaka 5-star offering. Modern design and top level comfort in a choice of suites, the hotel is in the heart of Shinsaibashi, on Midōsuji Boulevard, a fun, vibrant area.

Alternatively, opt for the Liber Hotel at Universal Studios. Here you’ll find a luxury spa with natural hot spring water pumped from around 1,000 metres below ground. With a selection of luxury rooms and suites, it’s the perfect antidote to life in the city.

It’s time to hit the town.

Osaka is home to several Michelin-starred restaurants including Fujiya1935 and Hajime, both great choices for an evening of fine dining, but why not try eating like a local and head out to an Osaka street food stall for some delicious local dishes? Try Takoyaki, crisp battered balls of diced octopus mixed with spring onion and pickled ginger, topped with soy sauce and mayo.

Once your appetite is sated, you might feel in need of a digestif, so head to Bar K a classy cocktail bar that’s been serving classic drinks for more than 30 years. For a nightcap with a view you’ll find the perfect panorama to sip to at Bar 19, the top-floor location at Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Osaka Hotel.

Dotonbori is where the majority of the nightlife happens in Osaka so wander the streets popping into a bar here and a restaurant there to get a full taste of what the city has to offer.

Osaka in the day is no less of a treat and you’ll be glad you made the choice to choose this fine city for your private jet charter destination. Kick things off with a visit to Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum, a wonderful museum styled as a traditional Japanese house and featuring the art of ukiyoe, a type of Japanese print.

There are several shrines in the city, some extremely old, that make for a memorable visit, but if you’re a foodie, it’s the private culinary tours that will grab your attention.

When it comes to climate, Osaka enjoys a mild climate all year round but summer (June-August) can get a little humid so either side of these months is often considered the best time.

This city is one destination you’ll never regret going to. A place where memories are made and that will inspire you to book your next private airplane charter to Japan.
