Osawa played with Peregrine from 2008 until 2018, except for the 2015–16 season, during which she moved to Detroit in the United States and played in the Women's Senior B league of the T1EHL with Victory Honda Sr. B.[2]

As a junior player with the Japanese national under-18 team, Osawa participated in the IIHF U18 Women's World Championships at the Division I tournament in 2009 and served as team captain at the Top Division tournament in 2010.

Osawa made her senior national team debut in November 2008 at the qualification for the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2010 Winter Olympics, though Japan narrowly missed qualifying. Her first senior international point was recorded in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2011 Asian Winter Games, the game-tying goal scored in an eventual overtime victory against Шаблон:Nwiht; Japan won silver at the tournament.
The 2012 IIHF Women's Challenge Cup of Asia was the first tournament for which Osawa served as Japan's captain, and she led all tournament skaters in scoring, amassing 7 points (4 goals+3 assists) in four games, to lead Japan to a gold medal.
Osawa has represented Japan at eight IIHF Women's World Championships – five at the Top Division level and three at the Division I Group A level. She made her World Championship debut at the 2009 IIHF Women's World Championship at age 17. Named an alternate captain for the 2012 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I Group A, Osawa has served as team captain for every World Championship since 2013 – at the Division I Group A tournaments in 2013 and 2017, and the Top Division tournaments in 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2021.[5]
Osawa captained Japan to victory in the Olympic qualification tournaments in 2013 and 2017, securing placement at the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2018 Winter Olympics.[6] At the Olympic women's ice hockey tournament in 2014, Osawa tied Hanae Kubo to top the team's scoring ranks with 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points in five games.
