How to Travel Around Osaka Prefecture

Seasonal Event Information

  • Osaka's merchants pray for good business in the coming year during the Ebisu Festival in January. Focused on the Imamiya Ebisu Shrine, festivities include a huge parade and 50 Fukumusume, or ‘lucky daughters’, who hand out good-luck charms.
  • The Takatsuki Jazz Street Festival runs from 3-4 May and features bands playing at venues from parks to churches, coffee shops and pubs, all for free!
  • Tenjin Matsuri, the main festival in July, resembles a county fair, with game booths and food and drink stands lining both banks of the Okawa River. The main attraction is the boats cruising up and down the river, full of people playing music and singing.

Climate in Osaka Prefecture

Temperatures range from an average of 6°C (42°F) in January to 30°C (86°F) in August. Cold winters mean visitors should wrap up warmly. Summers can be sweltering and humid, so pack loose, light-coloured clothing. Include a waterproof jacket and umbrella if visiting in summer as most rain falls between mid-June and mid-July. Buy tickets to Osaka for spring and autumn for milder, more pleasant temperatures.
