Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 9x19

Osaka sits on the southwest coast of Honshu, Japan’s largest and most important island. A major economic hub, its strategic location makes it a key transportation center in the Kansai region. Today, Osaka is known for its vibrant culture, incredible food scene, and modern architecture. Diana from Slovakia has been living here for eight years, where she built a life with her family. Fluent in Japanese, she turned her passion for the language into a career as a translator and tour guide. With Diana as our guide, we’ll explore Osaka through its flavours. We’ll visit a restaurant serving traditional ramen, sample street food favourites, and, thanks to her family and friends, step inside local homes to experience true Japanese hospitality.
