Closed/Opened on New Year in Osaka
To complete my previous article about New Year in Osaka I thought useful to look for what will be opened or closed during this National Holidays. Indeed on the 1st of January (or around) most of shops and attractions have a break. Tourists who plan to do something else than going to the temples and shrines to see the crowd of Japanese doing Hatsumode (the first prayer of the year) may be disappointed as "everything" else seem to be closed.
