Hello, we will hopefully be in Osaka until the 3rd Jan. We understand lots of places close over new year and we are trying to plan what would be best to do in this time. I have read the Minoo falls info and that looks excellent but would trains be running at this time? Many thanks.

Hello. Could anyone advise on accessibility in Osaka? My son will be in a manual chair and we are hoping to walk around the Dotonburi area, visit Osaka castle and maybe go to the the big ferris wheel if that is accessible. He can transfer but can only walk a few small steps – no stairs.

Many thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
