Is this Osaka Itinerary okay? 2023/3/14 01:02
I am planning a trip in July/August for about a month, which will include Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and a lot of side trips.

For now, I have the Osaka itinerary planned and would like some feedback on it :)

I will be going with my boyfriend and a friend of ours. They are very into Pokemon and all of us are into anime/manga, so looking forward to spend some time in Den Den Town. We also love food, food (needed to be said at least twice), parks, nature and temples. We aren't too interested in shopping, clothes and things like that and specific things we want to buy (souvenirs, stationary, Japanese Language Books, etc) we will be doing so in Tokyo.

A couple of questions regarding the itinerary:
- Are the days too full or too empty?
- Did I miss any must go places or is any place overrated and not worth it?
- Are there any souvenirs, stationary or Japanese Language Books stores that are a must in Osaka and cannot be found in Tokyo?
- Any other Pokemon related places that we shouldn't miss?
- Any place in Den Den Town or anywhere else related to anime/manga that we shouldn't miss?
