🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Expect pleasant warmth with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 28°C . Mid-May brings high humidity (60-70%), making the air feel heavier; stay hydrated and seek shade during the midday sun. Clothing: Wear light, breathable fabrics (linen or cotton) and comfortable walking shoes. Carry a compact umbrella for sudden "pre-tsuyu" showers and a light cardigan for air-conditioned trains and malls. Pro-Tip: Use the late sunset (19:00) to enjoy "Golden Hour" photography at Umeda Sky Building or the Bay Area.

🍽 Where to eat
- Mizuno (1-4-15 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku) — Famous for "Yamaimo-yaki" (yam-based okonomiyaki). Perfect for a couple to share. Expect a queue, but it's worth the wait.
- Daruma Kushikatsu (1-6-4 Dotonbori) — The birthplace of Osaka's deep-fried skewers. Remember: No double-dipping in the sauce!
🎁 Souvenirs
- Don Quijote Dotonbori (7-13 Soemoncho) — Look for the giant yellow Ferris wheel on the facade. Great for weird Japanese snacks and "Matcha" flavored everything.
- Purchase an ICOCA card at the airport for seamless subway travel. The walk from Hozenji to Dotonbori is only 5 minutes.
