Planning a move to Osaka next year. Advice wanted.

Moving to Osaka – Family-Friendly Neighborhoods & Cycling Scene

Hi all,

My wife, 3-year-old son, and I are planning to move to Osaka next year, and we're trying to get a better understanding of the different neighborhoods. We're looking for areas that are family-friendly, have good elementary schools, and offer open spaces for kids to play. We would prefer to live in a house, and not an apartment. Any recommendations?

I also enjoy road cycling and have heard there’s a decent scene in Osaka. Are there any neighborhoods that provide easy access to good hilly riding areas?

Would love to hear from anyone with local knowledge or experience! Thanks in advance.
