● Osaka Metro NiNE: Looking Back on 2020

2020 is coming to an end soon.
It has been a tumultuous year, dominated by the global pandemic of Covid-19 that forced the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to be postponed.
In Osaka, visitors were scarce in popular sightseeing spots including Dotonbori and Kuromon Ichiba Market at one point, but those places have now been regaining its vigor slowly and safely.

On a different note, Osaka Metro NiNE celebrated the very first anniversary of its travel website on September 18, 2020. In the time of calamity, we wanted to, more than ever, share the charms of Osaka with people of the world; our Osaka loving international bloggers continued to engage travelers with articles on various topics, from the city’s top tourist attractions to Osaka’s proud gourmet food scene, and to its hidden gems.
For the last article of 2020, we sifted through the data to uncover the most popular articles of the year. Here’s the list of most read articles that published in 2020!

Beautiful Sakura Blossoms in Osaka Giving Courage to All


Sakura (cherry blossom) is Japan’s national flower and holds a special place in the Japanese people’s hearts and minds. Beautiful Sakura in full bloom—typically in late March to early April—is a one-of-a-kind treasure only spring can bring. This year, we enjoyed hanami (Sakura viewing) by taking strolls around the city instead of the usual hanami parties under the Sakura trees because of coronavirus.
“All winter comes to an end, and Sakura inevitably flowers.”
Enjoy the beautiful Sakura in pictures♪

Walking Osaka’s Nipponbashi Ota Road with an Otaku, Part I:
Japanese Manga, Anime, and Video Games are the BEST!


The otaku subculture was born within and nurtured by Japanese pop culture—anime, manga, and video games.
While Tokyo’s Akihabara is well known as the otaku capital, Osaka is home to Nipponbashi Ota Road, aka Akihabara of Osaka. Lined with shops specializing in anime, video games, and anime figures, Ota Road is purely a paradise for otaku. In this article, a Spaniard otaku, Diego, visits otaku favorites on Ota Road.
