Osaka🇯🇵

🍡🍁 Review of Japan Travel, Osaka A cute trip filled with happiness every step of the way 🐙🎏 Hello~ I'm back! Today, I'll review a bright and heartwarming trip to Japan, especially in Osaka, which is so cute that you'll want to pack the whole city back in your bag! 🇯🇵✨ We went for 5 days and 4 nights. It wasn't a perfectly planned trip. We wanted to walk around and get lost a bit, but that was okay because Osaka is really cute in every way. ⸻ 🌟 Day 1: Arrived in Osaka~! This city is warmer than I thought. 🍃 The plane landed at Kansai Airport in the morning. The sun was shining softly. The wind was cool and comfortable. It's like someone turned on the fan to number 1 the whole way 🧣 After passing through immigration, I bought an ICOCA card to tap on various trains. It's so easy! (It looks like our Rabbit card, but there's a penguin too. So cute.) Take the Nankai Line into the city. Stop by a hotel in the Namba area. It's not far from Dotonbori. The room is decorated in a warm tone. There are complete amenities and the bathroom is the best. ~ In the evening, we walked to Dotonbori to chill. Seeing the real Glico sign for the first time was like... Wow! 🤩 There were so many tourists. Everyone raised their hands to pose like the sign. 555 We didn't miss it. We had a heavy dinner at Kukuru, a famous takoyaki restaurant in Dotonbori. The round, soft balls are crispy on the outside and the filling is bursting out. It really melts in your mouth. 🐙 It's so good that I want to eat it every day. ⸻ 🍁 Day 2: Visit Osaka Castle & go shopping in Shinsaibashi 🏯🛍️ Woke up feeling refreshed. (Even though I was a little sleepy) We took the train to Osaka Castle, which is surrounded by a large green park. The atmosphere was great! 🌳 On the way to the castle, we saw an old man and an old woman having a picnic under a tree. My heart melted! 🍱🌸 The castle has a historical exhibition for you to read and enjoy. At the top, there is a panoramic view of Osaka. I snapped a lot of photos. 📸 In the afternoon, we went for a walk around Shinsaibashi, a famous shopping street. There were so many shops, including Uniqlo, GU, Daiso, and cute Japanese fashion shops. Every second was eye-popping. If you like to buy small items like me, this is the place to go. 💸 In the evening, we stopped to eat ramen at Ichiran, where you had to sit alone in a booth. You pressed the machine to order and passed the paper through the slot. It was so cool! 🍜 The ramen was so fragrant, the noodles were soft, and the soup was delicious. It was like… I almost cried 😭💕 ⸻ 🎡 Day 3: Universal Studios Japan – A day of magic and laughter! 🎢✨ Today is the most anticipated day! We left the hotel early in the morning to go to USJ (Universal Studios Japan) just in time to open the doors. 🎠 When we entered, it was like we had entered another world. Pastel-colored buildings, people in costumes, and smiling wherever we went. The zone we screamed the most was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! As soon as we entered, we screamed quietly in our hearts the whole time! 🧙♂️ Hogwarts Castle is so magnificent. We walked and sipped Butterbeer. It was so good. (It tasted sweet and fragrant like milky caramel.) Another fun ride was Hollywood Dream – The Ride. A roller coaster where you can choose your own songs! We chose a cheerful Japanese song, plus the wind blowing in our faces, it turned into a cartoon scene that came out of an anime. 🎶💫 We ate a Minion-themed burger in the amusement park. There were also Hello Kitty donuts for dessert. Ice cream cone smiles so sweet 🍦💛 Leave USJ at almost 8pm, walk back, tired but happy heart soooo much ⸻ 🎏 Day 4: Aquarium & Shop for cute souvenirs~ 🐠🎀 Today, focus on walking lightly to Kaiyukan (Osaka Aquarium) which is so cute soooo much, it's a circle walk from top to bottom. Inside, there's a big whale shark, the only one in Japan! 🐋 Walking and smiling like a kid again After that, we took the Santa Maria Cruise which is nearby, cruising along the river to see the most romantic view of Osaka. The wind is cool, the view is pleasant, it feels like a Korean movie~ In the afternoon, we went back to Namba Parks to shop for souvenirs. There are many cute stationery shops, especially stickers, postcards, and take-away green tea sets. I love it so much 🍵📮 ⸻ 🍜 Day 5: Goodbye Osaka… And we will be back! ✈️ The last day… I was a little sad, but I stopped by to eat eel rice at a small shop next to the hotel and took a walk before taking the train to the airport T^T Before boarding the plane, I stopped by to buy some snacks from Pablo. The cheese tart was so delicious that it melted my heart~ 🍰 If you don't try it, you're missing out! When I got on the plane, I thought to myself, "Osaka... I love it here." 💗 ⸻ 🎀 Summarize the Osaka trip in one word: Awesome!!! Osaka is a lovely city, nice to live in, friendly people, delicious food, lots of shopping. There are both natural attractions, historical castles, and magical theme parks like in a dream. It's a city that has it all. For a heart-recharging trip ☀️💕 If anyone is hesitating whether to come to Osaka or not, I would like to shout out, "Let's go!!" Because every step, every word, and every memory is worth it 💌 ⸻ 🧸 I hope this review makes everyone want to pack their bags and go to Osaka immediately~ See you on the next trip, okay? 💼🍃 Bai Bai〜またね〜！ 🇯🇵💙 ⸻ #TravelJapan #Osaka
