So I booked an airplane ticket to Japan from Saturday, July 30- Wednesday night. I have to get my Korean work visa, but I dont know how I should do it?

I have friends in Tokyo who could help me and give me a free place to stay, so I feel inclined to go to Tokyo, but I know that Osaka will do process my visa more quickly. So I'm not sure what to do:

Option 1:
Spend Saturday night in Tokyo then on Sunday take a train to Osaka. Spend Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night in Osaka and return early on Monday morning to try and get to Tokyo airport by 6:00 pm


Option 2:
Spend the whole time in Tokyo: Show the Korean embassy in Tokyo my airplane ticket home and hope that they will rush the process for me (I've read that they will do this, but I'm not sure)

Do either of these sound realistic? I'm pretty concerned about how to make this process work....

Overnight service for your visa in Osaka
4 business days in Tokyo (they typically won't expedite a visa if you are just returning to Korea.
