Osaka🇯🇵

🎒✨ 5 days 4 nights in Osaka The land of soba, takoyaki, and cuteness that makes you fall in love without realizing it~ 💖 Hello everyone~ Today we will review a dream trip to Japan that many people miss. 🇯🇵✨ This time we chose to go to Osaka (Osaka), a large city in the heart of Kansai that is complete with food, shopping, and cute things! Let me tell you that each day is so good that you can shout 💕 Let's go on a trip together~ 🍡🎢🍁 ⸻ 🌸 Day 1 – Hello Osaka! Once we arrived, let's go to Dotonbori! We started our trip with a morning flight. As soon as we arrived at Kansai Airport, we headed straight into the city using the Nankai Airport Express to Namba, which was our accommodation on this trip. Let me tell you, this area is excellent. Because it only takes a short walk to the important tourist attractions! After putting our stuff in the accommodation, we didn't hesitate! Walk along Dotonbori, Osaka's most popular check-in spot. When I saw the Glico sign and ran with my arms outstretched, I was like... I had to take a selfie right away, or else I hadn't even arrived! 😝✨ Plus, at night, the lights are so beautiful~ The reflection of the river is so good 💙 And of course, when you're in Osaka, the thing you have to eat is... Takoyaki! 🐙🔥 It smells so good everywhere you go. We'll go and line up at any shop that has a lot of people. The dough is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The squid is big and full of flavor. It's also topped with a gooey sauce. Oh my gosh~! ⸻ 🏯 Day 2 – Let's go to Osaka Castle~ 🍁✨ The weather today is sooooo nice~ It's around 18°C. We took the train to Osaka Castle, which is located in a large park in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is shady and there are some autumn leaves. Taking pictures is beautiful without using filters at all. 🍃🍁 The castle is very magnificent, both white and gold, plus there is an observation tower on top that can see the city in 360 degrees~ Walk up each floor and you will see an exhibition telling the history. It's a little bit emotional 😳💭 Then we stopped by the Umeda Sky Building in the evening to wait to watch the sunset from the Floating Garden Observatory. Oh my, the view is amazing! 🧡 The whole city turned into a sparkling gold color. It's so beautiful that I wanted to freeze time right there~ ⸻ 🎠 Day 3 – A day of fun at Universal Studios Japan 🎢🍄 OMG~ Today we woke up early to go to USJ (Universal Studios Japan). This is one of the main goals of the trip! We booked tickets in advance + Express Pass so we wouldn't waste time. We started by rushing into the new and awesome zone, Super Nintendo World. Let me tell you, it's so cute that you'll want to scream! The colors are so bright that you'll fall into the real game world. Playing Mario Kart in AR is like riding a racing car with Mario! 🍄🚗💨 Next up is the Harry Potter zone, where just walking through the door, you can hear the music from the movie playing in your head! The magnificent Hogwarts Castle has sweet Butterbeer and an amazing magic wand shop! 🪄✨ Before heading back, stop by the Minions and Snoopy souvenir zones to shop for souvenirs. Let me tell you, your wallet will almost rip! 🎁💸 ⸻ 🍢 Day 4 – Kuromon Market + Shinsaibashi Shop non-stop, eat non-stop~ Today, we made a plan to ourselves that… we would eat as much as we wanted! So we went to Kuromon Market, Osaka’s famous fresh market, which is packed with fresh seafood, fragrant grilled meat, and cute desserts 💕 We ate giant oysters, large sushi, grilled wagyu beef on skewers, and strawberries dipped in chocolate… without caring about calories! 😋 The afternoon is the time to shop! We continued our journey to Shinsaibashi, a shopping street with long lines of shops from brand names to 100 yen shops 💄👗 We got lots of cute souvenirs, including bags, shoes, cosmetics, and Japanese snacks. Before heading back, we stopped by a cute cafe nearby that had a 3D teddy bear latte! Squeeee~ I didn’t dare to eat it 😂🐻☕ ⸻ 🧳 Day 5 – A light morning at a riverside park and then left Osaka with a full heart It’s the last day~ This morning, we took the train to walk around Nakanoshima Park, a very peaceful riverside park. Japanese people come here to read books, run around with their dogs, or ride bikes. 🌿🕊️ We sat looking at the sky, listening to the birds, and thinking to ourselves, “Osaka is so cute!” 💙 Before boarding our flight back, we stopped by a convenience store to buy a bag of snacks to take back to Thailand. (I want to take the whole shelf back!) 🍫🍬 And then I said goodbye to Osaka with a full heart. ⸻ 💌 Conclusion – Osaka… a city that is endlessly cute Osaka is not just a big city, but it has warmth in every corner, from hot takoyaki, lights along the river, cartoon-patterned cafes, to the smiles of uncles in the market 😄 Everything makes us feel that “Japan is so cute!” If anyone is hesitating about which city to go to in Japan… I must say that “Osaka” is one of the options that you must go to! Not just to check in, but to experience the soft, cute Japanese feel that makes you want to go back again and again 💕 ⸻ #TravelJapan #Osaka
