How do you choose visits without rushing?

Choose Nakanoshima for a compact walk: the library area, Osaka City Central Public Hall, then the riverbanks. Select indoor visits in the programme.

Choose two or three places in one area. Note booked time slots, allow for travel and leave a margin for queues. A distant venue deserves a separate journey.
