#Osaka

Osaka, plus everything you can reach from it. Tenjin Matsuri gets its own coverage, with its eve on July 24 and main day on July 25, then the boat procession and the fireworks that follow, alongside eating your way through takoyaki and okonomiyaki. And since Kyoto and Kobe are both short rides out, articles here treat Osaka as a base, not just a stop.
