What's open on New Year (Osaka) 2025/12/15 05:46
This year we are planning to stay in the Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto area on New Yearfs Day. In the past when we were in Tokyo, we would go to Odaiba knowing that the shops and restaurants are mostly opened compared to other Tokyo locations.

Is there a similar place in Osaka regions to hang out for the whole day with most of the shops/restaurants still opened? We will be based in Osaka, but can also visit Kobe/Kyoto if therefs a concentration of shops thatfs open on the first. Actually planning to stay in Kyoto for a day as well but not sure if itfs better to do it before 1/1 or on 1/1 if most restaurants will be closed. Thanks!

I don't know much about Kansai nor am I a foreign tourist, but I Googled "Is there a district in Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto area with more restaurants open on new year's day?" in English language and AI immediately gave me an answer which seems reliable enough, in my humble Japanese resident's opinion.
