J-Trip Plan S2019E11 - Deep in Osaka - A Quirky Town

Osaka Prefecture stands centerstage at the 2019 G20 Summit and the 2025 Expo, and we have 3 locals show us their town. Take a stand-up paddle boat tour through this city of water, or relax at bars hidden in alleyways. Interact with colorful, zany Osakans: a 99-year-old cafe owner, a female idol group with an average age of 65, a samurai chef who uses his cutting skills in his kitchen, and animal-print-loving ladies. You need to scratch deeper than the surface to discover how quirky this metropolis is.
