2025 Osaka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

📍Travel introduction I am a Korean living in Osaka :) I rent a house on a monthly basis and come and go freely, but actually, after living there, I felt that the only difference between Korea and Japan is the language, and there were so many similarities that I felt it :) However, after living there for 6 months, I realized that tourist attractions and local travel courses are very different, so I brought this information to share with you! For more information, please refer to Instagram @koun_trip! 🚩Travel route 📍Accommodation Living in Osaka (Namba): I regret signing a contract with Umeda ✅I recommend finding accommodation in the Umeda area! 📍Local restaurants Yakiniku: Yakiniku LAB Sushi: Sushihiro Namba Shabu-shabu: Miyama Tennoji 📍Shopping ❌Dotonbori is not recommended❌ Shopping is much more convenient in Umeda! ✅For those who like Japanese fashion, I recommend America-mura 🏖️Landmark Highly recommended Kyoto, Nara 🚇Transportation Use the ICOCA card like T-money after issuing it 📷Photo spot If you take a picture from the bridge of Daikokucho Station or Shin-Imamiya Station, you can capture the entire view of Namba! +People also come out really well #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Japan flight event #Japan #Osaka travel #Australia flight event

Universal Studios admission tickets are so expensive ㅠㅠ However, if you choose the right date, you can enjoy it with just the admission ticket! 📆1. Check the admission date grade First, go to the Universal Studios homepage and check the ticket grade!! Trip.com also has the grades by date, so check them out!! It's divided from A to E, and the admission price is set considering the level of congestion, etc., but it seems like it's usually C and D grades during the peak season and E grades during the peak season on certain days. Then you might think that there's no A grade during the peak season, but there are quite a few days on the weekends that are A or B grades. And April and June are almost always A or B grades!! I think you can enter Mario World with just the admission ticket for at least grade C. A and B are 100% possible!! 📲2. Download the app in advance, complete membership registration, and then register your ticket Use Korean or hotel Wi-Fi, download the USJ app, sign up for membership (Korean available) Register tickets purchased from Trip.com, etc.! 🚨Tips for registering tickets on the app Since the image recognition is not good when loading the library, Just enlarge the QR code from the image, save it, and then recognize it, Or display the QR code on the other person's phone and recognize it. It will work well! ⏰3. Receive a Mario World ticket after entering From experience, if you enter at 9 o'clock, you will be there between 11:30 and 13:00. If you want to enter multiple times, definitely enter early If you have a ticket left after entering Mario World, You can enter twice if you get one more!! I entered at 12 o'clock, made a reservation at the Kinopio restaurant, and stood in line for Koopa! If you ride Koopa out, the restaurant time is roughly right, but if you feel the time is ambiguous, you can make a reservation at the restaurant and enjoy the minigame. If you want to enjoy the minigames, you must buy a wrist bracelet. If you have this, you can stay in Mario World all day long. 🤭 Since characters appear, it's good to take pictures!! Kinopio is so cute~ Usually, people go in twice to enjoy the night view, but if you go in the afternoon, the waiting time for Koopa and Donkey Kong will be a little shorter, so you can stand in line once more and ride! ⏰ 4. Check the waiting time with the app! It seems like you can ride everything in the morning because it's open run, but if you ride one attraction, it almost always increases to more than 50 minutes... Decide what you want to ride the most before you go and plan your route. It's good to watch Conan or ride Jaws or Dinosaur in between. Surprisingly, the waiting time is 10 minutes. The Harry Potter area is free to enter, so take lots of pictures during the day, and around 5 PM, you can ride in a 10-minute cut. Maybe because it's inside the USJ gel, there are a lot of people... ! Instead, some attractions close after 6pm, so you might find yourself walking in and having a drink, so it's best to ride the attraction by 5:30pm and get ready to buy a gift around 6pm... On days with A and B grades, they usually close at 7:30pm, so check the times carefully! The admission ticket is expensive, and if you buy an express ticket, it'll cost you over 300,000 won, but you can set a schedule and ride it, but you can't really think about it after riding it... It was so disappointing. Thinking back now, I remember running around trying to figure out how many rides I could ride by making plans with just the admission ticket! Anyway!!!!!!!! Enjoy USJ 10000% with just the admission ticket! I bought a standard annual pass (you get a kick out of it if you go more than 3 times), so I go to USJ every time I fly ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Mario World is so much fun ㅎㅎㅎㅎ I hope you all succeed!! However, I don't recommend it for D and E grades... Just don't go that day! Hahaha #Osaka #usj #universalstudiosjapan #marioworld

Walking through Sennichimae Doguyasuji in Osaka is a feast for the senses. This lively food street is packed with bustling eateries, sizzling grills, and the irresistible aroma of Japanese cuisine. Stopping at a specialty wagyu beef restaurant, you watch as perfectly marbled slices are grilled to perfection, melting in your mouth with each bite. The rich, buttery texture and umami flavor are unforgettable. Between bites, you explore shops selling kitchenware and street food, immersing yourself in Osaka’s vibrant food culture. #japan #travel #food #osaka #trip

Open for only seven days a year! The highly popular cherry blossom viewing spot, the 'Osaka Mint Bureau Cherry Blossom Path,' usually only opens its museum and factory. However, during the cherry blossom season, it opens for a week, allowing the public to enter the cherry blossom path for free. This short 560-meter path is planted with over 300 cherry trees. Due to the dense planting and the variety of species, the blossoms range from peach pink, pink, crimson, light pink, to white with red hues. When in full bloom, it looks like a cherry blossom tunnel, incredibly beautiful! Although the visit is free, due to its popularity, you must apply online in advance. This year, it will be open from April 5th to April 11th. If you want to visit the Osaka Mint Bureau Sakura Pass, you need to act quickly!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Osaka is so big, but there is only one Blue Bottle Coffee. You must make a pilgrimage and check it out! This Blue Bottle Coffee located in Umeda Chayamachi is quite unique. It is located in the prime location of the triangular window on the second floor. The space consists of white walls and multi-faceted glass. The simple and neat design incorporates warm wood texture in the cold metallic color temperature, making the space warmer. I really like Blue Buttle’s modern line design, which, like its products, gives people a multi-sensory experience. The quality of hand-brewed coffee is the same as always, stable but not amazing. You need to get a waiting card first to eat inside, and then go to the first floor to order after finding a seat. You can see the train passing by from the window area on the second floor. It’s a nice city view, perfect for taking photos with a cup of coffee, and a muffin or croissant for brunch.

The cherry blossoms at the Mint are very large and bloom very fully. Some are dark pink, some are light pink, and some are even white cherry blossoms, each with its own unique charm.🌸 We walked through the long cherry blossom forest, following the long crowd, walking and stopping, every cherry blossom tree was brilliant and dazzling, and everyone who admired the cherry blossoms was filled with happiness.😊 After walking along the cherry blossom forest path, there is a whole street full of vendors selling snacks. Everything is delicious. I like snacks more than meals, so I can have a meal here. 😆 The whole street is really lively, and it is a special experience under the cherry blossom trees. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌟For the Mint and Sakura Path, you must make an online reservation in advance!

From the moment I walked in, Universal Studios Japan felt like stepping into my favorite movies! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was magical, and flying with Harry on the Forbidden Journey ride gave me chills. Super Nintendo World was insanely fun – racing through Mario Kart in real life? Epic! Every corner had something exciting, from Minions to Jurassic Park. A perfect mix of thrills, nostalgia, and smiles all day long! 🎮✨ #USJ #UniversalStudiosJapan #MovieMagic

#springwander Maishima Nemophila Flower Festival: A Breathtaking Spring Experience Visiting the Maishima Nemophila Flower Festival in Osaka was an unforgettable experience. The vast fields of delicate blue nemophila flowers stretched endlessly under the bright sky, creating a surreal sea of blue. The contrast between the flowers and the Osaka Bay in the background made for stunning photo opportunities. The festival was well-organized, with clear walking paths and plenty of space to enjoy the scenery. I appreciated the small food stalls offering local snacks and drinks, making it a perfect spot for a picnic. The best time to visit is mid to late April when the flowers are in full bloom. This festival is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and families looking for a relaxing outdoor experience. If you’re in Osaka during spring, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!#japan

Osaka is a vibrant and charming city where history, modernity, and unique street culture blend together, offering surprises at every corner. During this trip, I visited Osaka Castle, Shinsekai, and the Umeda shopping district, and also sought out the famous Glico Running Man sign in Dotonbori. Each place left me with deep memories. First, I was amazed by the grandeur of Osaka Castle. Standing in front of it, I could feel the majesty and magnificence of this historical building. From the top of the main tower, I had a panoramic view of Osaka city, and especially in autumn and winter, the surrounding maple and ginkgo trees added a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere to the castle. Next, I arrived at Shinsekai, which was filled with the nostalgia of the Showa era. The Tsutenkaku Tower stood tall in the center of the street, surrounded by colorful neon signs and local specialty foods. The kushikatsu (fried skewers) here is a must-try, and paired with a cold draft beer, it was an unforgettable taste. Umeda is a paradise for shopping enthusiasts. High-end department stores, trendy clothing, electronics, and the latest products and a variety of choices can all be found here. Especially at the Floating Garden Observatory of the Umeda Sky Building, you can enjoy the most magnificent night view of Osaka, which was breathtaking. Lastly, I couldn't miss the Glico Running Man landmark in Dotonbori! Taking a photo in front of the neon sign and feeling the passion and energy of this city, I couldn't help but be captivated by the joyful atmosphere. Osaka is an unforgettable city. It is full of charm in every aspect, from food to shopping to culture. I look forward to visiting again and discovering more hidden surprises!

Families, when you go to Osaka, you must visit Namba Yasaka Shrine! This shrine is simply a treasure of architectural aesthetics, and it completely broke my stereotype of traditional shrines! As soon as you arrive at the door, you can feel its unique aura. The unique modern architectural style and simple and smooth lines are completely different from the ancient shrine in our impression, but it perfectly retains the sacred charm of the shrine. Walking into the interior of the shrine, the courtyard is exquisitely laid out, the green plants and the buildings complement each other, the sun shines down, the light and shadows are mottled, and the atmosphere is full. The gods enshrined here are also very distinctive, carrying the unique local belief culture. When you come here to pray, you feel that your wishes will be listened to seriously. Moreover, the shrine holds various traditional festivals from time to time, which are very lively and allow you to immerse yourself in the folk customs of Osaka. Whether you want to take photos or learn more about Osaka culture, Namba Yasaka Shrine is perfect. Any photo you take will amaze your friends, so don’t miss it! #Osaka Attractions

Osaka Castle Park is such a quiet and relaxing place. You should definitely visit it if you have time to avoid Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori where there are so many tourists. In the evening, I went to Tenma on purpose to experience the authentic Japanese izakaya. There was no tourist at all, but it was full of Japanese people who were off work. It was a real experience of Japan. I am grateful to have met an Izakaya clerk who was very enthusiastic in helping us translate the menu. Although there were some difficulties in communication, "Tenma" is definitely worth a visit! Since Osaka and Kobe are very close, we also arranged a day trip to Kobe. We strolled around slowly and had lunch at the famous coffee shop "Nishimura Coffee". I was very satisfied just enjoying the chic decoration in the coffee shop and looking at the comfortable scenery. This is what traveling is like. You can sit and relax in a freehand coffee shop for an afternoon. Although the lunch price is a bit expensive (about 2,500 yen per person), it is still worth a visit. There were many people in Kobe at night, so I specially ate Kobe beef because there were signs of Kobe beef everywhere. Even though I am allergic to beef, I broke the rules and ate it once. I found it was really delicious. I am grateful that I came to Kobe and could eat heavenly beef but I was not allergic to it. On the third morning, I got up early and went to the "Kizu Market". I regretted not buying strawberries because I never saw so many strawberries for sale again. Next time I should plan to go to the Kizu Market the morning before boarding the plane so that fresh strawberries can be airlifted back to Hong Kong. This is my personal suggestion. Another highlight is the sea urchin, which is fresh and sweet, and the price is very affordable, a price that you can't possibly get in Hong Kong. Kizu Market is a great place, and if you bring your mothers here, they will definitely love this market. On the last day of the trip, I went to the Rinku Town outlet before boarding the plane. It is only a 10-minute train ride from the airport, which is very convenient for people who like shopping. There are also many places to store luggage, but you need to be careful and patient to find cheaper storage spots. There are some shops hidden in the train station that offer cheap prices for storing luggage. Although I didn’t go to Universal Studios/Dotonbori/Shinsaibashi during this four-day trip, I felt very satisfied. A leisurely and relaxing itinerary, heavenly food, endless cosmetics and pharmacies, and scenery with blue sky and white clouds are the meaning of traveling.

In Osaka Castle Park, the cherry blossoms in spring are like a dreamy feast, resembling pink clouds gently floating in the blue sky. When the breeze lightly brushes the treetops, the petals dance like countless little fairies, weaving a flowing picture in the air. This is the cherry blossom snow, a fleeting splendor that captivates the heart yet brings a subtle ache. At the peak of their bloom, cherry blossoms fall rapidly like shooting stars, as if the brightest star on stage hastily exits under the magnificent lights. Each petal carries the warmth of spring, guided by the wind, spinning and disappearing, whispering the impermanence and fragility of life. In that moment, time seems to stand still, the air filled with a faint floral fragrance, intoxicating yet tinged with a slight sadness. When I witness the cherry blossoms falling like rain, my camera in hand cannot press the shutter, struggling within to capture this beauty forever, yet fearing that the sound of the shutter would tear apart this perfect moment. The petals spin and swirl in the air, gracefully dancing, finally gently covering the ground like a soft floral carpet. This scene makes me reflect that the fleeting yet brilliant aesthetics lie in the ever-changing moment. The fall of cherry blossoms is a farewell letter of life, speaking of the truth that nothing lasts forever, teaching us to accept the regret of loss. It is precisely this regret that makes beauty even more precious. Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, the breathtaking moment stirs infinite emotions in the heart. Its disappearance is not just an end but also the beginning of new life, nurturing the seeds of hope. This moment of beauty lies not in its duration but in its brilliance, making us deeply feel the fragility and strength of life. In this moment of cherry blossom snow, Osaka Castle Park becomes a canvas of life, allowing us to feel the vitality and beauty of life in the falling petals, experiencing the fleeting yet eternal spiritual shock. Each petal's disappearance is a hymn of life, reminding us to cherish the present and accept the truth that nothing lasts forever. It is this regret that allows them to express such extreme beauty, letting us understand the depth and reality of life in a fleeting moment. May every traveler bravely step out of their home to explore this wonderful world. As time flies, we should cherish every moment and feel every instant of life. Because it is those moments that move you that constitute the indispensable chapters of life, allowing us to find the eternal truth in fleeting beauty.

Universal Studios Osaka Ultimate Guide | How to beat the queue and play the Harry Potter and Mario worlds! Last week I went to Universal Studios Osaka (USJ) for two days and it was super cool! But USJ is really crowded, if no Plan is good, at any time the queue to collapse. So this time I specially compiled a "second kill queue + play the essence" strategy, so that we can play zero time, extremely fast into the movie! Prepare before entering the venue 1️⃣ Buy Express Pass – USJ queue time is super exaggerated, Express Pass can help you save hours! It is recommended to buy the "Super Nintendo World + Flying Dragon" version in advance, there is basically no queue for key rides. 2️⃣ Download USJ App – Instant map, waiting time, super practical! 3️⃣ Book Super Nintendo World admission time in advance – Nintendo World requires special reservation, no reservation basically can not enter! Tour the route (play the most facilities!) ✅ Open the Park - Play the Wizarding World of Harry Potter ⚡ (You can enter without an Express Pass) ✅ Then go straight to Super Nintendo World 🍄 (remember to use the app to check the opening hours to avoid the crowds) ✅ Flying Wing Dragon to take advantage of early 🦖 - this roller coaster is very exciting, the queue is usually long at night! ✅ Play Minions/Spider-Man at dusk 🕷️ - the most people at noon, so that it will be easier to go again at night Food, fun and shopping recommendations 🍔 Harry Potter Must Try: Cream Beer (No Alcohol) + Pork Ribs Meal 🍄 Nintendo World Must-Eat: Mushroom Burger, Star Popcorn Bucket 🛍 Loot shopping: Harry Potter wand, Mario T-shirt, USJ limited edition goodies Final reminder: 💡USJ is really big, remember to wear comfortable shoes! 💡 Arrive an hour early, there are already a bunch of people waiting to enter before the park opens! 💡 After playing, remember to go to Universal Studios City Walk to sweep the streets, there are so many food choices! This time USJ really played to the fullest, will definitely go again next time! What are your USJ secrets? Leave a message to communicate!

#January travel support event #Trip Moment Review #Overseas travel #Osaka I went on a trip to Osaka with my friends!! We went for 3 nights and 4 days, but I think it was a bit disappointing that we had an afternoon flight when we left and an morning flight when we came back ㅜㅜ But we had a lot of fun on the second and third days!! *I'll tell you about the travel expenses (per person) first* Flights: 341,400 won Accommodation: 190,437 won for 3 nights and 4 days Others: 1. Universal: 86,900 won 2. Gas pass: 51,400 won 3. Rapid (round trip): 23,800 won 4. Insurance: 10,900 won 5. Transfer: (with discount) 8,400 won Expenses = 713,327 won Other personal expenses: about 700,000 won (I bought a lot of souvenirs) Total: about 1.4 million won (I spent a lot on souvenirs, so my personal expenses were 700,000 won, but if you save, you can save 500,000 won!) I stayed at a hotel called 'Holiday Inn Osaka Namba' in Osaka Namba, and it was clean. The staff is also friendly, so I recommend it! The accommodation is about a 2-minute walk from Dotonbori, and Don Quijote, Takoyaki, etc. are all very close, and it only takes about 9 minutes to walk from Namba Station, so the location was very good. On the first day, I arrived at around 6:30, left my luggage at the accommodation, and ate takoyaki at the takoyaki place in front of the accommodation, and did my first shopping at Don Quijote! (It was my second time coming to Osaka, so I had an idea of ​​what to buy and how to do it) On the second day, I went to Namba and Umeda, and saw Umeda Sky Garden, Hep Five Shopping Mall, and visited Shinsaibashi Parco Department Store, and visited Namba Drugstore, etc. On the third day, I went to Universal Studios!! There were so many people even when I went to Open Land 🥲🥲 But I think I enjoyed going to about 5 places! I was able to enter Nintendo World safely!! Harry Potter Forbidden Journey was so fun that I rode it twice!! I really recommend it!! It's not scary at all or anything, but it can be a bit shaky, so I recommend people who get motion sickness not to ride it.. On the fourth day, I woke up at dawn, ate ramen at Icharan Ramen Beikenkan, and went to Kansai Airport! It was a short trip, but it was really fun!! I recommend Osaka to everyone :)

🗺️🗺️ 【Travel Itinerary】 This is the Osaka travel itinerary that I personally used with my family this time. It is a course that is not too difficult for children.

Izakaya Kushikatsu, Okonomiyaki 3. Usagiya 4. Ichiran Ramen 5. Genroku Sushi Dotonbori 🏠🏠【Recommended Hotels】 I really recommend the accommodations below. The prices are really reasonable and almost all products, such as washing machines and refrigerators, are available. It was newly built in 24 years ago, so it's really clean and you can walk to the station in 10 minutes. Also, the rooms are spacious and have two double beds as standard, so there's no problem for a family of four. It's really the best. Ashe Maison Tennoji West II 📷📷 【Photo Spots】 1. Universal Studios 2. Harukas Observatory 300 3. Osaka Castle 4. Dotonbori There are so many pretty places. 🔑Tip: Kansai Joy Pass, Haruka one-way ticket is really useful. If you package it with Universal Express, it is cost-effective and good value for money. #January travel support event #Family travel #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Osaka travel

#大坂之旅 Every day was very satisfying. We visited Osaka + Kobe for 6 days and 5 nights. We visited all the places we wanted to go. Friends who are planning a family trip in Osaka can refer to this✌ 🚇 The whole trip was by subway! Children above elementary school age can apply for a child ICOCA at Umeda JR and use the card🐦 🏨 Stayed at Umeda Respire for 5 nights. The high-rise room is 25 square meters. The double beds can be put together. The location is super convenient! Downstairs is the subway, restaurants and shopping malls 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Pikachu Restaurant-Parco 📝Parco is a paradise for the second dimension! There are Totoro, No-Face, Pokémon, Kirby and everything else... You have to make reservations in advance for the Pikachu restaurant, and the Gengar smoothie is delicious! 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Osaka Castle Park-ytv-Shinsaibashi-Owl Cafe 📝This is my third time to Osaka Castle Park👌Get off at Central Mori-nomiya Station, Exit 3-A is the children's playground, after playing, take the small train next to it to the castle tower! The bronze statue of the Boy Detectives is next door to YTV! In the afternoon, visit Shinsaibashi, check in at Glico and Owl Cafe (book in advance) 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: Magical Animal Kingdom - Mouriya - Nanjing Street - Meriken Park - Anpanman Museum - Former Settlement Shopping 📝One-day tour in Kobe! Avoid weekends at the Magical Animal Kingdom...too many people to get a ticket😂Meriken Park is very chill on a sunny day☀ 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒: Universal Studios Osaka 📝Bought a 3hrs VIP in advance and got to eat at the Toad Bio Cafe! We rode the roller coaster once🥳There were a lot of people. I suggest you buy a U-Pass and go early. We arrived at 10 o'clock and still didn't have enough fun until the park closed. 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟓: Expo 700 Commemorative Park-Snoopy Cafe-NIFREL 📝The whole family loves the expocity one-day tour! There is a bicycle park, maze, children's park, and you can visit the Sun Tower. The NIFREL next door is an aquarium + zoo + art gallery, which is as fun as Kobe Animal Kingdom💕 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟔: Umeda Shopping 📝I prefer Grand Front (North Face, Montbell), Hanshin (RL, keen), Arc'teryx Kobe is better
