Trip Moments in Osaka
Osaka Skyline Moments 🌆
“#skylinescapes Osaka Skyline Moments 🌆 Osaka hits differently when you look at it from above.”
This was my first time traveling independently in Osaka, and I visited some popular tourist spots 🤣. Most of these attractions are nearby, roughly from Namba Station to Tennoji Station, so I don't think it would be too tiring to walk along the way. Itinerary: Yasaka Shrine → Kizu Market → Tsutenkaku Tower → Tennoji Zoo → Abe Observatory (night view)
