I've visited Osaka before, and I actually prefer it to Tokyo in some ways (read this).
Point is, I've been here and I know where I want to revisit, or what I should have visited in my previous visit. So here goes:
1. Dotonbori
I come here for cheap stuff from the drug stores and also from the gift stores - the wide selection of quirky Osaka omiyage (also, see if you can get discount vouchers somewhere, we had some in our Kansai Pass guidebook).
2. Dobutsuen-mae/ Shinsekai
I come here for Spa World onsen!
3. Osaka Bay (Osakako)
I've been to the Osaka Aquarium, but I returned for the souvenir shop and also for the Tempozan Mall.
Personalised medallion - great souvenir idea!!
4. Osaka Castle
(Not really worth re-visiting, but to must for first-time visitors!)
Always pack food for on the go!
Our Airbnb apartment - small and self-sufficient. The most amazing thing is we didn't even have to meet the host. We got the key from the mailbox (after struggling with figuring out the code even though we had the code).

Bedside charging socket - thoughtful design
