Osaka Travel Review: A City of Fun, Delicious Food and Lovely Friendships 💖✨ Hello everyone, today Boom will take you to visit "Osaka", a city full of colors, fun and warmth from the people here. If you like to travel and eat delicious food, walk around, shop happily and want a real Japanese atmosphere, Osaka is a city that you should not miss. ⸻ Getting to Osaka ✈️🚄 Starting from Kansai International Airport, which is very convenient to travel to. There is a train that goes directly to the center of Osaka. It takes only about 50 minutes. When you leave the airport, you will be greeted by cool air and a Japanese atmosphere that makes your heart beat very fast. ⸻ Day 1: Dotonbori, a popular area that you must visit! 🎆🍡 When you arrive in Osaka, the first thing you must not miss is to walk around "Dotonbori", an area full of restaurants and beautiful neon lights. There is also the iconic Glico sign for taking pictures. We tried takoyaki, hot round balls filled with fresh squid topped with the shop's special sauce. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, so delicious that I had to eat it twice. I also tried Okonomiyaki (vegetable and meat pancakes). The flavors were well-balanced, helping me to recharge my energy for walking around all night. ⸻ Day 2: Osaka Castle and beautiful gardens 🌸🏯 Woke up early to visit “Osaka Castle”, an important symbol of the city. The atmosphere around the castle is very beautiful, especially when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. It is a lovely sight that will melt your heart. Walking around the museum in the castle, I learned about the history of Japan and samurai, making me feel deeply connected to the culture. When I went up to see the view from the top of the castle, I saw a panoramic view of Osaka. The atmosphere was so good that I wanted to stay here for a long time. ⸻ Day 3: Having fun at Universal Studios Japan (USJ) 🎢🎉 On the third day, we went to the well-known USJ amusement park, which Boom really liked! There is a Harry Potter zone that feels like you have truly entered a magical world. Walking around Hogsmeade Village, there are shops selling cute souvenirs and snacks. Playing various rides, including the dinosaur roller coaster, the Minion and the screaming thrill zone, so much fun that I forgot how tired I was. It was a day full of laughter and happiness. ⸻ Day Four: Shopping and Kuromon Ichiba Market 🛍️🍣 Today, we went shopping in the “Shinsaibashi” area, which is full of fashionable shops, cute things, chic cafes, and souvenir shops. We bought a lot of Japanese sweets and cute souvenirs to take home. Next, we went to Kuromon Ichiba Market, which has a lot of fresh seafood. We tried fresh sushi, big pieces, sweet, fragrant, fresh, and delicious. It was one of the most satisfying food experiences of this trip. ⸻ Day Five: Cute Cafes and Matcha Green Tea 🍡🍵 Today's rest day, we walked around the “Namba” area, which is full of cute cafes and shops. There is a Japanese sweets shop called Dango, which has a perfect sweetness. Paired with fragrant matcha green tea, it was refreshing and enjoyable. It was a very chill time. ⸻ Day 6: Kaiyukan Aquarium and Tempozan Marketplace 🐠🌊 On the sixth day, we went to “Kaiyukan”, a very large and exciting aquarium. We saw a very large whale shark and many cute fish. It was like we had entered the underwater world. Then we walked around Tempozan Marketplace and ate fresh seafood with the cool sea breeze. It was so great that we wanted to stay there all day. ⸻ Last day: Shinsekai area and hot ramen 🍜🎏 Before going back, we stopped by “Shinsekai”, which has a retro atmosphere like old Japan. There are many delicious restaurants and handmade souvenirs. We tried Osaka-style ramen that was very rich and flavorful. It was perfect for the cold weather. It was a very memorable end to the trip. ⸻ Summary of my impressions 💕 Osaka is a city suitable for everyone, whether you are traveling alone or Or come with family, friends or a lover, here there is fun, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere that will melt your heart.
