Space station in osaka is a cool little bar
donkiote in osaka is a mad shop, never seen so much stuff in one place
osaka zoo made me cry, but the suburb it is in dobutsuenmae is a fun little "ghetto"
try find some little arcades, i found some with some proper old stuff in but i dont think they'll be googleable
at least go into a pachinko parlour to see the zombies and hear the sound of the end of the world
the water park in osaka is meant to be class but i couldnt go cos of tattoos everywhere
there is a train stop a few stops after kyoto called hozukyo, wicked river to swim in, and a mountain to climb, there is no ticket machine there so you can buy a 150 yen ticket from osaka and go all the way there and back, just get off at the station after the one you got on when you return, and save about 5000 yen

I'll take a crack: The water park is supposed to be nice, but I couldn't go because I'm covered in tattoos and Japanese people don't like that.
