Thanks in advance for any answers: I have done some research on this location and is now on the fence as to whether or not to take my mp2 with me on my visit to Osaka, due to restrictions. Any thoughts on some areas around Osaka that might help in making the decision.  

Hello and good day M Stuart K. Thank you for reaching out. I hope that you will get the best information an recommendation from our valued DJI co pilot who visited Osaka, Japan and brought there drone. In addition I will be posting a link where in you can check if a certain area in Osaka, Japan if it is free to fly your drone or if the said area is a no fly zone ( https://www.dji.com/flysafe/geo-map ). For additional reference as well I will be posting a link where in you can check some DJI Flying Tips on how to fly your drone on the said locations ( https://www.dji.com/flyingtips/jp ). I hope this can help you. Thank you.

I will be in Osaka in Dec 2019,is it cheaper to buy there in Osaka than Manila?
