See Kyoto, which is right next to Osaka. Walk around downtown Osaka at Umeda and you'll be sure to see some interesting stores.
I'd suggest you request an Osaka brochure from their tourist info department. I gave them a call (internationally), got someone who spoke English, and they mailed me a brochure in 2 weeks. This is your "menu". I could recommend a ton of places but don't know what you're interested in (ex. arcades, restaurants, shops, etc..). If you just want to see a little of everything, get the brochure and walk around all the top areas listed. That's what I did and it was a lot of fun!
