In this captivating travel video, the YouTuber 'By Kyoto Local' takes us on a nighttime exploration of one of Osaka's underrated yet must-visit tourist spots — the observation areas and rooftop park at Itami Airport (officially known as Osaka International Airport). Although Itami handles mostly domestic flights, its accessible location and unique aviation-themed parks make it a popular place for both aviation enthusiasts and casual visitors.

The video highlights the free-to-enter rooftop observation deck and surrounding Sky Park area, where visitors can watch planes take off and land under glowing runway lights. As the sun sets, the ambiance becomes magical, making it a perfect spot for nighttime sightseeing. The view is not only exciting for airplane lovers but also provides a beautiful cityscape of Osaka at night.

There are various amenities nearby, including green park spaces, benches, and interactive attractions for kids and families. The area is well-maintained and offers a peaceful retreat from the city bustle, making it a fun stop even for those not flying. Locals often use the park for late strolls or casual plane watching.

Located along the border of Osaka and Hyogo Prefectures, Itami Airport is highly accessible by train and bus, making this spot convenient for both tourists and locals. This video serves as a guide to finding unique, low-cost adventures in Japan, especially for evening activities that don’t require an itinerary packed with commercial attractions.

For those traveling through Kansai or based in Osaka or Kyoto, a nighttime visit to the Itami Airport observation decks offers a relaxing and visually stunning experience.
