Osaka🇯🇵

A cute Osaka travel review A dream fulfillment edition in the land of the rising sun Hello~ 🇯🇵 Who dreams of going to Japan? Let me tell you about a super cute trip in Osaka, the city of smiles, delicious snacks, kind people, and sparkling lights that captivate your heart from the first day you arrive. 🍥✨ 🌸 Day 1: Arrived in Japan, yay~! We flew directly to Kansai International Airport (KIX) early in the morning. The sky was a bit cloudy, but my heart was so full. As soon as I got off the plane, I immediately bought the Osaka Amazing Pass because I could use it to ride the subway + enter many places for free. I must say it was worth it! ✨ Then we went straight to Osaka city by Nankai Airport Express. It didn't take long, about 45 minutes, and we found Osaka city full of energy, strangely cute, unlike Tokyo at all. It has a warm, homely feel mixed with a hip vibe that goes together really well. 🏨 The first night, we stayed in Namba, which is a great area for foodies and shoppers! After checking in, we took a leisurely stroll in Dotonbori to see the super popular Glico sign. When we actually saw it… it was much more spectacular than we thought! There were dozens of people standing and taking pictures, standing and posing with their hands raised like runners next to the sign, which became a classic image that we had to copy 😆 🍜 Day 2: Eat until you burst in Osaka If you love to eat… Osaka is your dream city! This morning, we started at Kuromon Ichiba Market, a fresh market full of food! Sushi, sashimi, soft and fluffy sweet eggs grilled on charcoal, takoyaki that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (the real thing is to eat it in Osaka!), and big, sweet strawberries 🍓 Then in the afternoon, we took a train to Osaka Castle, a very elegant castle with a sense of Japanese history. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, blooming flowers, lush green, no matter where you sit, you can take beautiful photos. 🍃💚 🌆 In the evening, we went back to walk around Shinsaibashi, the largest shopping district in Osaka. There are many brands, many cute shops. There is a 100 yen Daiso store that is very big, satisfying for shoppers. My eyes were dizzy! I walked until my legs were tired, but I was very happy. (I must say that you should prepare a bag for shopping 😅) 🎢 Day 3: Universal Studios~! Today is the day we are most excited because we went to Universal Studios Japan (USJ)~! 🏰🌈 Even though we had to wake up early, the line was long from the front door, but when we entered, it was like entering a world of magic and fun! 🎡 Anyone who is a Harry Potter fan must scream! Because The Wizarding World of Harry Potter zone is exactly like in the movie. Walking past Honey Dukes, the smell of butterbeer wafted in the air, hearing the sound of owls from Hogwarts Castle... my heart was beating so fast! In addition, there is a Super Nintendo World zone that we must say So cute it melts your heart 🍄🍌 Run and collect coins with Mario. Wearing a red hat makes you feel like a cartoon character. Anyone who goes must book in advance because there are so many people!!! 🎠 Day 4: Visit the old city with a sweet heart Today, we planned to go to Kyoto as a day trip by taking the JR from Osaka. It only took about 40 minutes! 💨 We started at Fushimi Inari Shrine with thousands of red torii gates lined up like we were in a fantasy world. Every angle you take a picture is beautiful. Aesthetic lovers, don't miss it! Then, we walked around the Gion area and found an old Japanese sweets shop. There were cherry blossoms falling softly in the middle of the street (so romantic like in a movie 🥹🌸). In the evening, we returned to Osaka with our bodies and minds full. 💕 🍡 Day 5: Bye-bye Osaka...but my heart is still here On the last morning, we woke up early to pack our things. Sip coffee at a small shop near Namba, walk back to the Glico sign again and say "またね〜 Osaka" with a heart that doesn't want to go back yet 😭💓 ⸻ 🎀 Summary of what we love in Osaka • Japanese people who are very friendly and smile • Delicious snacks and food • City views that combine modern and old culture • Charming small shops • Convenient transportation, clear maps, English available in many places This trip is like a dream 💭 If anyone is hesitating whether to go to Osaka, we say "Go!" and you will fall in love like us without realizing it 🍥💘 ⸻ #TravelJapan #Osaka
