Osaka, Japan Family Tour
This time when we took Zaizai to Osaka, we decided not to take the usual route - **no rushing to visit tourist attractions or browsing online celebrity stores**, but to slowly feel the fireworks and history of Kansai like the locals. The result was an unexpected journey full of jokes, delicious food and wonderful encounters!
🏯 Osaka Castle Tower: When history meets chuunibyou**
I thought my son would be interested in the Warring States generals, but he stared at **Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Golden Tea Room** and asked me seriously: "How many Switches can I buy if I melt this?" (Mom is speechless.jpg)
🦌 Nara: The thrilling experience of being "hunted" by a deer**
When others feed deer, they live a peaceful life, but when we feed deer, it's like **Speed of Life and Death**! As soon as Carson took out the deer crackers, he was immediately surrounded by five or six deer. One of them even bit the strap of his schoolbag and wouldn’t let go… He finally ran away while shouting, “Mommy, help! They are scarier than the bullies in our school!” (laughs)
Tips: ** If you want to feed the deer quietly, it is recommended to go to ** deep inside Kasuga Taisha Shrine **, where the deer are more Buddhist.
🍖 Kobe beef VS beef tongue rice: a showdown between little gourmets**
When eating A5 wagyu in Kobe, Zai Zai commented seriously: "This meat...seems to melt in my mouth!"
But unexpectedly, he loved Osaka's **Lemon Beef Tongue Rice** more, especially the charcoal-grilled aroma of **"Rikyu Beef Tongue**, and he even felt that two bowls were not enough. Sure enough, the taste buds of **kids are the most authentic Michelin Guide! **
🎢 Universal Studios Japan: Hidden Gameplay in the Nintendo Zone**
The Nintendo Park is so popular that you need to draw a numbered ticket. The "Kinopio Restaurant" is definitely worth trying, and you have to get your ticket in advance.
🍵 Uji Matcha: From "bitter to frowning" to "really fragrant"**
After visiting **Between-in Temple**, we went to **Tsujiri Tea Shop**. It was the first time that I drank pure matcha, and it was so bitter that my face wrinkled. But after trying **matcha ice cream + warabimochi**, he immediately changed his mind: "I can eat this every day!"
Recommended: ** **Ito Kyuemon**'s **Matcha Curry Udon**, sounds dark but surprisingly delicious!
🛍️ Shopaholic's delight: Kobe Mita Outlets vs. Osaka Umeda vs. Rinku Outlets
🍢 Kuromon Market vs. Yuanzu Kushikatsu: Osaka Street Food Battle**
At Kuromon Market, I love grilled wagyu skewers
The secret of **Yuanzu fried skewers** is that **you can only dip it in the sauce once**!
⛩️ Shrine Adventure: Namba Shrine's "Academic Amulet"**
At **Namba Shrine**, I drew a **"good luck" fortune ticket** and jumped for joy. But when he saw the words "Work hard first, then pray to God" written on the "Academic Amulet", he instantly lost hope... (Even God urges study!)
🎯 If you are also planning to take your older children to Kansai, don’t rush the journey, go and feel the way it goes - because when they grow up, what they will remember is not the scenic spots, but the moments of laughing together. **
