Osaka Anniversary Escape — The Finest Five-Star Stays

Celebrate in Osaka the way locals do: through food. Reserve a high-floor suite in Umeda for sunset views across the city, then book a kappo counter where the chef prepares each course in front of you, or splurge on a Kobe beef dinner. Spend a day at Osaka Castle and its plum and cherry orchards, and walk the illuminated Dotonbori canal after dark for a lively contrast to a quiet dinner.
