When strolling through this park, you actually don't think you're in a big city as Osaka. Relaxation can be easily achieved here. Note that it's quite touristy and might be crowded with Chinese.
From Umeda Hankyu Stn, turn right when coming down from the platforms. Once outside turn right and walk past Yodobashi. Turn left at the next intersection and walk straight, under the underpass.
Not really gardens up there but worth the visit. It offers magnificent views of Osaka. Don't forget to grab your ¥50 discount coupon at the tourist office at Umeda Station.
ATMs are located at the first basement (B1F). Using a foreign card? Take the Japan Post (JP) ATM as it is the only one to take overseas cards (MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, Cirrus, AMEX, etc.).
Flying on a standby staff ticket at Korean Airlines (KE)? You will find the check-in desk at aisle A, position 2.
Marriott Rewards members can use the high speed (wireless) internet free of charge. Just key in your room number and surname once connected to "Courtyard_guest"
Despite the wide selection of food, the price for the breakfast is high. You can easily have cheaper breakfast by getting your items at e-Mart from Times Square mall.
There's a decent selection of food in the basement as well as some fast food at the 4th floor. Furthermore it offers a quite large selection of stores (from high- to low-end). It's worth a visit.
This tower offers a very good panoramic view of Busan, for just 4000 Won. Note that it can be quite crowded here with Chinese tourists, so you may feel like being in China instead of Korea.
Avoid the queues at the ticket booths by using the ticket machines just around the corner of the ticket booths. They have an English option as well, so ideal for tourists.
This beautiful temple is located a 25 minute bus ride (Bus 181) from Haeundae Stn (departure near Exit 5). The bus stop for the temple is announced in English, from there it is a 10 minute walk.
This huge food court (4F) offers quite some Asian (Korean, Japanese and Chinese) options. Western options are limited to KFC and BK. Get the bulgogi (no. 124 on the menu), it's delicious.
If you want to shop here, come early, they close at 8 pm, which is quite early in my opinion.
This café is well catered to non-Koreans as all signs are posted in English as well. They provide a large selection of breads, sandwiches and cakes as well as a decent selection of hot and iced drinks
Gwangan Bridge is known for its 64.000 LEDs that illuminate it at night. Lightshows are performed twice or thrice a night (at 8, (9,) and 10 pm). Best views are obtained from Gwangalli Beach.
This beach provides an excellent view of Gwangan Bridge. This view is especially good at night as the bridge lights up. Gwangan Stn (Exit 5) is nearby and there are many restaurants near the beach.
To get here take Exit 2, and walk straight until you reach the next (major) crossing. The tourist information center is at your right hand side. You can start your tour there.
Great spot for having a quick Asian meal. Compose your own meal by selecting either meat or fish, a sauce, rice or noodles, and five vegetables. Portions are large and come at a reasonable price.
