Here’s the translation of your text into English:
“In this sightseeing plan, you will visit four areas: Tennoji, Minami, Kita, and the Bay Area.
Since it’s a 2-night, 3-day trip, you can take the opportunity to explore places a little further from the city, so it’s important to plan the schedule well.”
“There are also other areas like the Southern Area (famous for the Danjiri Festival in Kishiwada) and the Northern Area (famous for Minoo Falls and Expo ’70 Commemorative Park).
One of the great features of Osaka is its well-developed public transportation system, making it easy to travel on foot. The schedule is also easy to plan, and by combining different attractions, you can enjoy sightseeing efficiently!”
