Cheap Flights To Osaka From Australia - From $495 Return

Japan's third-largest metropolis is a convivial and welcoming town with gritty neighborhoods of merchant guilds and workaday port areas. It sums up the unique flurry of culture that exists in the east of the country, touting sites like the soaring Tsutenkaku tower with its post-war industrial aura. For most first-time visitors, it's Osaka Castle that tops the bill. Terraced roofs of green tile and golden filigree mark it out from the skyline, and inside you'll find exhibits that unravel the 16th-century power struggles of Japan. When that's done, prepare to feast the senses on the bright lights, udon holes and steamy food courts of vibrant districts like Dotonbori and Soemon-cho. Cheap flights to Osaka from Australia go nonstop from Sydney, but it's likely that the best deals will be on routes with a single stopover.
