Yamachan
Yamachan is one of the most popular takoyaki restaurants in Osaka, where the dish originated. What makes Yamachan’s takoyaki distinctive is the taste of the dough, which blends original chicken soup stock cooked with various fruits and vegetables, and Japanese style soup of kelp and bonito. Cooked on its special takoyaki pan at a very high temperature, the outside of the takoyaki ball is crisp but the inside remains nice and creamy. Although it is tasty without any sauce, you can also try it with their special soy sauce and ponzu.

One of Japan's most famous shrines, the Fushimi-Inari Shrine is a must-visit when in Kyoto. Founded in AD 711 and dedicated to the goddess of rice-growing, Ukanomitama-no-mikoto, the shrine is still frequented by merchants and tradesmen who pray for prosperity. The main building dates from 1499 and features a spectacular four-kilometer-long avenue of bright orange "torii," or arches, each dedicated by a business (it takes some two-hours to travel past the 32,000 arches lining the route). Also notable are its many sculptures of foxes, reputed to be messengers of the gods. Hot Tip: Fortify yourself with the purchase of traditional Japanese fortune cookies from the shops and stands at the shrin

Step back in history to the Edo period by visiting this historical alley, which is filled with restaurants serving Japanese fare, and izakayas (traditional Japanese taverns). Also in Hozenji Yokocho is the statue of the spirit Fudomyoo, its moss-covered appearance is the result of visitors pouring water over it as a cleansing act.

Bunraku is a form of puppet theatre created in Osaka in the 17th century. The story of the play is told by a chanter who voices all the characters, and traditional Japanese instruments are used for music. Each puppet is controlled by three skilled puppeteers, who have trained in their art for decades. The puppeteers, dressed in black robes, are in plain view of the audience, allowing you to marvel at their skill. The National Bunraku Theatre holds several plays every year, so check their performance schedule and reserve tickets in advance if you want to see this traditional art form.
