Let's travel to Osaka🇯🇵

Osaka Japan Travel Review A city of happiness and fun that everyone should try at least once 💖 Hello everyone! Today, I will take you on a tour of Osaka. A city full of brightness, cuteness, and delicious food that makes you want to move here. 💕 Boom had the opportunity to visit Osaka last summer, so I would like to share my experience and fun with everyone. ⸻ Day 1: Arrive at Kansai Airport, Osaka is ready to welcome you with smiles. When I landed at Kansai Airport, I felt that "Osaka is what I've been waiting for!" because the airport is very spacious and clean. Plus, the train system into the city is very convenient. I bought an ICOCA card to use. It's easy to pay and can be used on trains and buses in the city. When I entered the city, I started by walking around Namba. This place is a paradise for shopaholics and foodies. There are beautiful shops. There are everything from famous brands to food stalls. There are lively people and the smell of delicious food that whets the appetite very well. Boom tried takoyaki, a hot round ball filled with soft squid, fragrant with sweet sauce and mayonnaise. It was so smooth! The first bite was so happy! I also tried okonomiyaki, a Japanese pancake mixed with vegetables, pork and delicious sauce. It was so satisfying to eat. At night, I walked around Dotonbori. I have to say that the neon lights here are so beautiful. There is a red Glico Man sign that everyone who comes here must take a picture of. It is a landmark of Osaka. ⸻ Day 2: Universal Studios Japan — A real magical world! Today, Boom is very excited because we will go to Universal Studios Japan (USJ), the largest and most fun theme park in Osaka. It is like entering a real movie world. Boom really likes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter zone. Because we get to walk around Hogsmeade Village, enter Hogwarts Castle, walk through the beautiful torii gates, and what you can't miss is trying Butterbeer, a sweet drink with cream on top. It was so fragrant and refreshing that I wanted to drink several more glasses. In addition, Boom also got to play the Mario Kart ride at the Super Nintendo World zone, which was super bright. The rides were so much fun, it was like being a kid again. I recommend buying an Express Pass because there were so many people. If you don't have one, you'll definitely have to wait so long that you'll get annoyed. ⸻ Day 3: Shopping to the max at Shinsaibashi For a shopaholic like me, Shinsaibashi is heaven. You won't get bored walking around because there are so many shops, from famous brands, cosmetics, sweet shops, and cute cafes. Boom likes to walk around and look at cute things like Japan, both cutely packaged sweets and souvenirs. There's a famous souffle pancake cafe. The pancakes are fluffy, soft, and smooth, topped with fruit sauce and whipped cream. They're just the right amount of sweet, not too sweet. It's so satisfying to eat. The atmosphere is lively, with many Japanese people and tourists walking around. It's perfect for walking around, shopping, or just chilling out and seeing the city. ⸻ Day 4: Kyoto, a day trip near Osaka Kyoto is a city worth visiting, just like Osaka. Boom chose to go on a day trip, starting with Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which has thousands of red torii gates. Walking through the gates, it felt like being transported to a fairy tale world. Next, we went to Gion, a famous geisha district. Boom was lucky enough to see geisha walking around in kimonos, looking elegant. It was so cute, like going back in time to ancient times. ⸻ Day Five: Kuromon Ichiba Market — Fresh and Delicious Food Kuromon Ichiba Market is a foodie’s paradise. There are so many fresh foods to choose from, including butter-grilled scallops, tempura shrimp, sushi, and fresh fruits. Walking around and eating, it felt like I was getting to experience the Japanese way of life up close. I got to talk to the vendors and even tasted new and delicious food. ⸻ Day Six: Take a leisurely stroll at Namba Parks and shop for souvenirs at Don Quijote. The last day before heading back Boom went for a walk at Namba Parks A shopping mall with a beautiful rooftop garden, perfect for taking photos and relaxing. Then we went to Don Quijote, a mall with everything! Boom bought cute souvenirs, snacks, cosmetics, and Japanese souvenirs to take home. ⸻ Tips for having the most fun in Osaka •Buying an ICOCA or Suica card for trains and buses is very convenient. •Wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking. •Downloading a translation app and a navigation app can help you a lot. •Bring your own cloth bag because Japan doesn't usually give out plastic bags for free. •Try eating local food like takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and fresh sushi here. ⸻ Summary of my impressions 💕 Osaka is a city full of happiness, fun, and deliciousness. Boom felt like he was visiting a warm and friendly friend's house. Every corner of this city is colorful and cute, making Boom want to go back again soon. If you haven't been there yet, don't wait! Osaka is waiting for you to experience this awesomeness! ⸻ #Osaka #TravelAbroad #TravelJapan
