Osaka🇯🇵

Osaka Review 6 days 5 nights 🌸🧸 “A city that is not just for sightseeing, but also for falling in love every second” Hello~ I am back with a review of another dream trip to Japan that will melt your heart just as much as Tokyo or Kyoto 🥺💕 That is… “Osaka”, a city that is both fun, naughty, bubbly, and irresistible! We went with two close friends on a trip that we could say was nonstop laughter, walking until our legs were sore, but our hearts were full all the way 🌈🍥 ⸻ Day 1: Arrived in Osaka~ 🇯🇵 The machine tapped in at Kansai International Airport in the morning. We quickly exchanged ICOCA cards + Nankai tickets to Namba because our accommodation was booked nearby. It was super convenient to travel! 🧳✨ On the first day, we focused on walking around and adjusting the time, so we chose to go to Dotonbori, the number one landmark that you must check in! When we saw the Glico sign, we immediately took a picture. There are so many neon lights that it feels like a movie scene 🎥🌃 Eat hot Takoyaki in front of Dotonbori. Let me tell you, "Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, melts in your mouth" 🐙🔥 And you must try Ichiran Ramen, the branch under the bridge - sitting alone, ordering through paper is very cool and delicious! ⸻ Day 2: Adventure in the magical world at USJ! 🏰🎢 If you come to Osaka and don't go to Universal Studios Japan, you're missing out! We woke up at 5 am to line up to get in early (very energetic, but worth it!!) ✨ Start at the Harry Potter zone. When we walked in, we got goosebumps! There was fake snow. There was background music, streetlights, and a Honeydukes store selling strange jelly beans. 🍭🪄 Then we went to play the super fun ride, The Flying Dinosaur. It made us scream, laugh, and cry 😂. The Super Nintendo World zone was super cute!! We got to play real blocks, wear wristbands, and play interactive games. We screamed! 💥🍄 We had lunch at Kinopio’s Café, a tiny Mario menu which was decorated like a dream cafe 🥺🎮 ⸻ Day 3: Café, Café, Café~ ☕🧁 After being tired from USJ, we decided to chill out! Today, we explored a cool area like America Mura or the trendy teenage area 🎨👟 While walking, we stopped by a café called Anello Café which was decorated in warm tones They had delicious Cold Brew coffee and cheesecake, and a real cat even walked under our table! 🐱🍰 Next, we went to Shinsaibashi, a shopping district with everything! GU, WEGO, and cute Japanese stationery shops that you’ll want to buy every piece to take home 🛍️✏️ ⸻ Day 4: Should we go to Kyoto? 🍃🚃 Osaka is very close to Kyoto, only 40-60 minutes by train. So we took a light trip to Fushimi Inari, a shrine with a thousand torii gates. The bright red contrasted with the green of nature is very beautiful. 📸⛩️ Then we went for a walk in the Gion area, which has ancient Japanese wooden houses. We saw a real maiko walking by and were amazed! 🥹🌸 And ended with green tea and traditional Japanese sweets at a shop by the water. 🍵 ⸻ Day 5: Collection of heart-fluttering souvenirs 💝🍘 On the last day before going back, we divided the whole day to Namba Parks + Don Quijote to buy souvenirs! Must-buy cute things: • LuLuLun Sakura Face Mask, smells like walking in a flower garden 🌸 • KitKat with strange flavors like raspberry cheesecake / sake 🍫 • Squid keychain and Osaka limited edition Kitty cloth bag 🎀 Walked until my legs were tired, but smiled until my face was sore because everything here is so good to my heart 💕 ⸻ Day 6: Goodbye Osaka (but my heart is still here) ✈️💭 We returned on an afternoon flight, so we stopped by Namba Yasaka Shrine which has a unique giant lion face 🦁 It was so beautiful to take pictures. Then we sat along the Dotonbori River again to say goodbye to this city softly. In my heart, I thought… “Can I stay for another 10 days?” 🍃💓 ⸻ Unforgettable impression 🌷 Osaka is not just a tourist city, but it is a city that makes us feel that “Traveling to different places, different languages Different cultures” …but still can fall in love with it without realizing it 🥺💘 The laughter of friends, the smell of takoyaki in the evening The lights from the Dotonbori River at night, or even the screaming sound of rides in USJ, all of them are still in my mind like it happened yesterday ⸻ Small tips for those who want to go to Osaka! 🎒 🌟 Buy USJ tickets in advance from a Thai website so you don't have to wait in line 🌟 Bring a good power bank because you really use your phone a lot 🌟 If you want to save on transportation costs, try the Osaka Amazing Pass, it's worth it 🌟 The street food is super delicious, don't just look, hurry up and eat! 😋 ⸻ For those who are hesitating, I would like to say that “Osaka” is a really lovely city. You will fall in love with Japan’s unique smiles. 🎌🌈 📍Osaka… We will definitely go back to you again. 💌💙 またね～Osaka! 🐙🍜🎠 ⸻ #TravelJapan #Osaka
