In this page, I introduce the weather data of October of Osaka announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency as follows. Looking at this data, you may think that the maximum temperature is quite high.
Certainly, in the first half of October, there are days when the maximum temperature exceeds 25 degrees Celsius. However, except for those particularly hot days, in the first half of October, we feel pretty cool and it seems that full-blown autumn has arrived.
In September it rained a lot and a typhoon came, but the weather will stabilize gradually in October. However, even in October, if a typhoon hits, trains and planes will be shut down one after another. Please be aware of the latest weather forecast.
The city center of Osaka, which was really hot during the summer, will be cooler in October, so you can stroll with fun. Osaka is a town developed since ancient times than Tokyo, so there are many old temples and shrines. And there is famous Osaka Castle Park. If you stay in Osaka in October, please explore the city of Osaka by all means.
In Japan there is the word “fall of appetite”. We have a lot of seasonal good food in autumn.
In autumn rice and vegetables are harvested and delicious fish such as saury are also picked up, so many people enjoy such delicious food in autumn. In Osaka in particular, there are a lot of attractive food such as Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki, so you should go to Nanba etc. and enjoy delicious Japanese food. I wish you a wonderful trip!

There are many cool and sunny days in mid-October. In the mountainous areas of Japan, autumn leaves have begun, but in plains such as Osaka, you can not see autumn leaves yet.
However, there are not many tourists because autumn leaves can not be seen yet.

I also recommend travel during this time, as the hotel is still relatively cheap compared to the second half of November when the fall colors are at its peak.
