Bookmark & shareOsaka gets its teeth into life, but in a fairly laid-back way. By far the most popular activity with locals is shopping, in places like Shinsaibashi. The other local preoccupation is eating. If that sounds too strenuous, how about a little cruise on the Santa Maria around Osaka Bay?

swimming (indoor)
A swim at the incredible artificial beach 'resort' (complete with wave generator) Nanko Swimming Resort is quite hyperreal.

fishing
Next door to the Nanko Swimming Resort is the equally bizarre Nanko Fishing Park where you can stand shoulder to shoulder with up to 400 other keen anglers.
