Osaka Japan Travel Review: A Colorful City That Melts Hearts 💖🐰 Hello everyone! Today, Boom will take you to visit "Osaka", the cutest city in Japan, full of cuteness, fun, and delicious food that will make you exclaim "wow~". If you are planning to travel to Japan and want a place that has everything from culture, shopping, and food, Osaka is the place for you! ⸻ Day 1: Arrived in Osaka, ready to go! When I got off the plane at Kansai Airport, my heart was beating fast. Because this was my first time visiting Osaka. After going through immigration, I took the Nankai Line into the city to Namba Station, which is a popular area where everyone who comes here must come to relax and shop. There are tall buildings and colorful neon signs everywhere. The lights twinkle at night. It makes you feel like you are in a Japanese movie. I started walking on Dotonbori Street, which is very famous. Because it is a pedestrian street with many restaurants, cafes, and shops. The atmosphere is very lively. Full of laughter and the aroma of delicious food Boom did not miss trying “Takoyaki” or round dough stuffed with squid. It was softer when eaten while hot, and the shop’s special sauce and spices were fragrant. It was so delicious that you couldn’t stop. ⸻ Day 2: Explore Universal Studios Japan The next day, we went to Universal Studios Japan, or USJ for short! Let me tell you, this place is suitable for everyone, whether children or adults, because there are many rides and zones to choose from. The first zone we went to was Harry Potter World. It was like entering a magical world. Hogwarts Castle was beautiful and magnificent. We tried Butterbeer, a sweet and creamy drink with a special flavor that can only be found here. Then we went to Super Nintendo World, which was full of bright colors. The cute Mario character greeted fans at every corner. There were also fun rides that made us feel like we were really in the game. ⸻ Day 3: Shopping and cute cafes in Shinsaibashi Today, we woke up a bit late and went for a walk in Shinsaibashi and America Mura, a popular shopping district in Osaka. There are so many fashion clothing stores, so cute that you can't decide. There are both famous brands and small shops with cute decorations. We also stopped by a souffle pancake cafe that was so fluffy when it was served. It looked so cute that you almost didn't dare to eat it, but it was so delicious that you had to take a second bite. Paired with strong Japanese green tea, it was a really great snack. While walking around this area, we also found some cute stationery shops. We bought some notebooks and pens to take as souvenirs. ⸻ Day 4: Kyoto Day Trip Kyoto is very close to Osaka, so we didn't miss the chance to visit it for a day. We started at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, with thousands of red torii gates. Walking through it was like being transported to a fantasy world. Boom walked up the mountain and experienced the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful nature. Then we walked around the Gion district, famous for geisha and maiko. We happened to see a maiko walking by in a kimono. At that time, it felt like I had traveled back in time. ⸻ Day 5: Eat to your heart's content at Kuromon Ichiba Market Kuromon Ichiba Market is a popular fresh market that food lovers must visit! Walk around and look at fresh seafood, including shrimp, clams, and squid, all of which looked incredibly delicious. Boom tried the succulent butter-grilled scallops, crispy tempura shrimp, fresh fish sushi, and large, sweet strawberries. It was a truly satisfying meal. If you like trying new foods, there are plenty to choose from here, and the prices are not too high. ⸻ Day 6: Shop for souvenirs at Namba Parks and Don Quijote On our last day before heading back, we went shopping at Namba Parks, a beautiful shopping mall with a rooftop garden. The atmosphere was great, perfect for relaxing and taking cool photos. Then we stopped by Don Quijote, a shopping mall selling a variety of souvenirs and products. We ended up bringing home a bag full of souvenirs, including snacks, cosmetics, and cute items. ⸻ A little tip for a super satisfying trip to Osaka: •Buy an ICOCA or Suica card, which is the most convenient way to travel. •Wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking. •Download a Japanese translation app to help you read menus or ask for directions. •Bring your own cloth bag because Japan doesn't usually provide plastic bags. •Don't forget to try new local foods for the best experience. ⸻ Summary of impressions 💖 Osaka is a very lovely city. The food, the fun atmosphere, and the authentic Japanese atmosphere here make Boom very happy. I got to eat delicious food, meet kind people, and have a full trip. For anyone who is planning a trip to Japan, I recommend Osaka. I guarantee that you will love it like Boom! ⸻ #Osaka #TravelJapan
