Osaka Two-Day Trip: Food x Shopping x Theme Parks All in One!

Day 1: Osaka Castle 🏯 & Shinsaibashi 🛍 & Dotonbori 🍜 First stop after landing is Osaka Castle. The main tower is incredibly magnificent📸, and there’s a park around it, perfect for taking photos! But climbing up is a bit tiring😂. Inside, you can visit the historical exhibition and experience the samurai culture of Osaka⚔. In the afternoon, go crazy shopping at Shinsaibashi🛍. There are drugstores, clothing stores, and large department stores, so you can shop till you drop!👗👟 Also tried the Osaka-exclusive PABLO half-baked cheese tart🧀, which is rich and smooth, a paradise for cheese lovers! In the evening, head to Dotonbori, a true food paradise🤤. You must try okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu! We specifically queued at a popular local store for okonomiyaki, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delicious sauce🤩. After eating, take a photo with the Glico sign📸 and feel the vibrant nightlife of Osaka! Day 2: Universal Studios 🎢 & Umeda Sky Building 🌆 Spend the whole day at Universal Studios🎡. As soon as you enter, rush to the Harry Potter area⚡️. The Hogwarts Castle is stunning🏰, and the Forbidden Journey ride is thrilling! Also tried the butterbeer from the movie🍺, which was sweet and unique! Then, challenge the Jurassic Park ride🦖, getting completely soaked but it was so refreshing! The Mario area🍄 is also dreamy, walking in feels like entering a Switch game, and I bought an adorable star-shaped cup🥤! By dusk, go to the Umeda Sky Building’s Floating Garden Observatory to see the night view🌃. You can see the whole of Osaka, with twinkling lights, it’s very romantic✨! Finally, find an izakaya to eat yakiniku🥩, sipping plum wine🍶 and reminiscing about the two-day trip in Osaka, ending it perfectly! Osaka is truly full of energy, with great food and lots of fun!😍 I must come back next time!
