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

#AustraliaFlightEvent I heard this street is famous in Osaka these days..! Shinsekai Hondori Street with Tsutenkaku in view looks like a background from an animation :) It seems like all kinds of signs have gathered to create a wonderful street. 📍Shinsekai Hondori Shopping Street 新世界本通商店街 Dotonbori Glico Sign is a place that can be called Osaka's signature. That's why there are so many people. If you go down under Ebisu Bridge, you can take pictures in a place with fewer people. 📍Dotonbori Glico Sign 道頓堀グリコサイン / 1 Chome-10-3 Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0071 Japan #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #OsakaTravel #Osaka #Japan #PlacesToVisitInOsaka #OsakaHotPlaces #japan #osaka

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.

#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

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ”👘 ⭐ Overnight at Kamogawa: Lie down by the river and listen to the water. I have learned 99% of the laziness of Kyoto people. 🌸 Day 5: Philosophy of Osaka Castle ⭐ Osaka Castle Park: The castle tower and the old men and women fight for a bench. The secret is: "Pretend to look at the map, but move your butt quickly and accurately! 🏯💨 ⭐ Kuromon Market: Eat seafood bowl until you have to lean on the wall to leave, but be careful of the big belly of tuna - your wallet is losing weight faster than me🐟💸 ⭐ Umeda night view: The wind on the top floor of the Sky Building is so strong that your head is bald. It is recommended to tie a bun, otherwise your hairstyle will turn into a "crazy beauty"🌃💇 🌸 Day 6: Carnival at Rinku Outlet ⭐ Nike and Adidas are 30% off? rush! But be careful of the shopping agent's cart - it's a deadly weapon🛒💥 ⭐ Suitcase explosion? Buy woven bags on site! Carrying it along makes it look like the Spring Festival travel rush, but the money-saving character cannot be ruined! 🧳💪 🌸 Day 7: Return ⭐ Kansai Airport: Buy all the limited edition cherry blossom snacks! 🌸✈ ⭐ Blood and tears advice: Check in liquids! Otherwise, when my friend’s SK-II was seized, she cried more miserably than when she broke up.

One of my latest finds is a hidden gem called Cobatopan, a delightful bakery that offers not only delicious, freshly baked bread but also the cutest souvenirs. Their unique bread creations are almost too adorable to eat, featuring fun shapes and designs that are a true treat for the eyes. The bakery’s cozy atmosphere adds to its charm, making it the perfect stop for a relaxing break during a day of exploring. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for something special to take home, Cobatopan is a must-visit spot that adds an extra touch of magic to your Osaka experience.

Fushimi jikkokubune Boat 3. Osaka Castle 4. Kamo River Kyoto 5. Uji Kyoto 6. Arashiyama 🌸🍒⛅️Precautions for traveling during the cherry blossom season 🍡🇯🇵📍 ❌🚫 Don't touch, don't climb ❌🚫 There was a moment of shock when someone climbed the cherry tree!!! While taking a video, the cherry blossoms were beautiful. The mood of the picture changed. Sob. I want to campaign. Just take pictures. Don't touch the flowers or climb the tree. The cherry blossoms will fall in a short while. The more you touch it, the faster it falls off. People who come later instead of seeing its beauty, don't get to see it. Or really, no matter what kind of tree or flower it is, we shouldn't touch or destroy it. You can take beautiful pictures without touching it. This is the first time I went during the cherry blossom season and I saw it right away. I'm so lucky. I didn't expect to see it this beautiful. It's beyond expectations. Anyway, I hope everyone gets to see cherry blossoms. My heart is so full. 🩷🌸 #OsakaTravelPlan #OsakaTrip #OsakaAttractions #sakura #OsakaTravel #osaka #kyoto #JapanTravel #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelPlanShare

#Osaka Attractions Osaka Castle, a masterpiece of ancient Japanese castle defense engineering, is famous for its complex structure and strategic significance. It adopts the architectural layout of the kurokoku-style rope, with a secondary castle centered on the west garden and a main castle centered on the castle tower. This layout is not only beautiful, but also has strong defensive capabilities. Osaka Castle, this historic castle, has an ingenious and layered layout. It consists of three main parts: the inner city (Honmaru), the middle city (Ninomaru) and the outer city (Sannomaru), each of which plays a unique role. In addition, the ingenious design of the city tower (called "驹") and the inner and outer moats further demonstrate the solidity and majesty of the castle. The inner city, as the core area, is the location of the castle tower, and its inner moat adds depth to the defense; the middle city, located between the inner and outer moats, forms a circular defense area; and the outer city occupies a large space outside the outer moat, providing strong protection for the city's edge. Osaka Castle is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is cleverly designed and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is definitely worth a visit! !

Day1 Osaka Day2 USJ Day3 Kobe Day4 Kyoto Day5 Osaka back BKK I recommend anyone who likes nature to stay in Kyoto for 1 night because the vibe is really good. 🌟Travel Tips🌟 -For travel, I recommend using the JapanTravel app or gg map, which are very accurate. -The accommodation is near Dotoburi. It's only 2 stations away on the subway and very close to the metro. It's about a 1-minute walk, so it's not scary. You can walk to Donki. -The currency used is JPY. I recommend exchanging cash because some shops don't accept cards. -Dressing for the evening is not too cold. The lowest temperature is around 13 degrees at night. -No visa required. -We arrived at USJ around 7am. We didn't buy a pass and were able to enter the Mario zone right away. For anyone looking to go abroad for the first time, I recommend Osaka. The atmosphere is great.
