We even missed some places, like on 9/4 we planned to go to Fushimi Inari but ended up only visiting Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Shrine due to time constraints. We managed to visit most places, but next time we won't plan such a tight schedule or will add an extra day to avoid rushing. If anyone has a better schedule, please share it with me. Thank you! 😍

💡Store Name: Kamukura Ramen Namba Store 💡Location: Namba Nankai Street Entrance (North exit of Nankai Electric Railway Namba Station) 💡Meal: Gyoza Set Meal 💡Price: ¥1040 💡Seating: Mostly bar-type seats on both the first and second floors, suitable for individuals or groups Having been to Osaka many times, this was my first time trying Kamukura Ramen. I've heard that Kamukura Ramen is one of the most representative ramens in Osaka, famous for its secret soy sauce cabbage-based broth. From the north exit of the Nankai Electric Railway, you can see Kamukura Ramen right at the Namba Nankai Street Entrance. There's an ordering machine outside the entrance with Japanese, Chinese, and English interfaces. I chose the gyoza set meal and was seated on the second floor. The restaurant mostly has bar-type seating, making it comfortable even for solo diners. When the ramen was served, you could see the clear soy sauce broth topped with cabbage and char siu. The salty and slightly sweet soy sauce, combined with the refreshing vegetable broth, was irresistible, and I found myself finishing the soup. Those who love char siu might be a bit disappointed because it's thinly sliced, but the overall portion of the set meal is quite generous. The gyoza served hot, with a bit of vinegar and chili oil added, made for a heartwarming meal on this cool, rainy night.

Highly recommend this yakiniku restaurant near Osaka Namba with a perfect Google rating of 5 stars. It's convenient as you can grill the meat on your own personal grill, and the meat is absolutely juicy.

#Japan and Korea urban attractions Cinnamoroll Cafe Osaka Namba🇯🇵😍 One of the itineraries of this trip to Japan🇯🇵 is to go to this Cinnamon Dog cafe located in Osaka! The building is three stories high, the first and second floors do not require reservations, light meals mainly, while the third floor requires online reservations, prepayment of 1000Yen / person to reserve a place ~ This time I booked to dine on the 3rd floor, because the environment on the 3rd floor is the most beautiful and fantastic, and the 3rd floor can order cinnamon dog shaped burger steak meal 😋 (1800Yen) Although the taste is average, but the shape is unique, suitable for jade Guigou fans check in❤️ Maybe it's the off-season (Tuesday, January 16), plus chose 11 am rock opening time, so the 3rd floor only 2 tables of customers (counting myself), do not have to worry about photographing others, isolated He was also kind enough to give me a picture of the cinnamon dog pancake and curry rice he ordered I'm really happy to finally be able to make a pilgrimage to a cinnamon dog themed cafe without other Sanrio characters 🥰 Cinnamon dog is my favorite doll from the first grade ❤️ Address: 1-5-14 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture

📍 Osaka accommodation | < FDS ZEAL > 2 nights: ₩272,302 (after cashback) First, I booked FDS ZEAL (Apartment) as my accommodation for 2 nights in Osaka and my picky mom was very, very satisfied with it. At first, I only looked for hotels, but I actually don't like hotels that much.. I couldn't comfortably walk around barefoot on the floor, so I looked for Airbnbs run by the owner. Then I found FDS ZEAL Although there weren't many reviews, the Naver blog rating was very good and the host rating was also very high at 4.89, so I made a reservation with confidence. And after visiting! It was so good that I'd want to stay there ✨again✨ if I go to Osaka! First of all, it was a little far from Namba Station, so it was quiet and I could walk around barefoot freely, and it was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean! If you go to Osaka, I recommend this accommodation 🤍 (I specified the location as Namba because the location wasn't marked. It appears on Google Maps!) #OsakaAccommodation #OsakaTravel #HoKangs #OsakaAccommodationRecommendation #OsakaTravelRecommendation #fdszeal

I would definitely recommend this place for sightseeing in Osaka✨ Okinawa in Osaka "Okinawa Soba Island Cuisine Tamachan"✨ This restaurant just opened in November, and I was impressed by the deliciousness of the Okinawan cuisine when I returned from Okinawa✨✨✨ The restaurant is about a 5-minute walk from Nihonbashi Station. Look for the red Orion Beer lantern✨ #Osaka sightseeing #Gourmet

We discovered Chicago Gallery inside Namba Walk in Namba, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture! Namba Walk is a 700m underground shopping mall centered around Namba Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. Namba Walk is divided into 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, and 3rd Avenue. In the Art Park on 1st Avenue, there is an area called Chicago Gallery, which exhibits ceramic panel reproductions of works from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. If you happen to pass by on your way to or from the station, be sure to stop by and take a look!

"Milk Manju Tsukikage" is a famous Osaka souvenir, and you can get it fresh at the Namba store ^ ^ It's hot, the skin is crispy, and the inside is smooth and delicious 😉 1 piece for ￥130 In addition to Tsukikage, the store also sells individual pieces, and you can buy them from one piece, so it's perfect for tasting ◎ 📍 3-2-15 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka #Gourmet trip #Gourmet

📍 Japan 〒542-0076 Osaka, Chuo Ward, Nanba, 3 Chome−7−9 Nanhua Kaikan Bldg. This is Cafe Mog! It's close to Namba Station, so I stopped by before checking in. ㅎㅎ The pancakes are famous, and the drinks and parfaits were really delicious~! The pancakes come in medium and regular sizes. I recommend the regular size tiramisu pancakes -! Also, there's a Korean menu, so you can easily choose the menu. 🍮 There were a lot of people, so I waited for about 20-30 minutes, but I remember the atmosphere and the taste were both great. 🤣 If you're traveling to Osaka, why don't you stop by Cafe Mog? #OsakaTravel #CafeMog #Pancake #PancakeRestaurant #Namba #Dessert #EatList

A cool morning greeted me as I boarded the Midosuji Line subway, heading straight for Namba Station. As soon as I exited the station, I was stunned by the bustling crowd—it felt like a festival! Namba, Osaka, this vibrant area, is where I will spend the day exploring its unique stories. 09:00 Heartwarming Breakfast After arriving at Namba Station, I exited from Exit 6 and walked for about 5 minutes to enter the 'Doutor' coffee shop. I ordered a hot coffee and thick toast, sitting by the window, watching the bustling street outside, filled with anticipation. The area around Namba Station is the commercial heart of Osaka, where tall buildings and small shops intertwine, and the lively atmosphere is infused with a strong sense of everyday life, instantly igniting my excitement for the trip. 10:30 Namba Yasaka Shrine, Giant Lion Guardian After breakfast, I walked for about 10 minutes to Namba Yasaka Shrine (06:00-17:00, open year-round). As soon as I stepped through the torii gate, I was awestruck by the 12-meter-high lion head stage! This giant lion is imposing and is said to have originated in the 4th century during the reign of Emperor Nintoku, built to ward off plagues. Now, it is a sacred place for praying for victory. I made a small wish here and bought a 'Koi Omamori' (love charm). The shrine is small but surrounded by a quiet residential area, making the clash of history and modernity particularly charming. 12:30 Dotonbori, A Feast for the Taste Buds Leaving the shrine, I walked to Dotonbori, a paradise for food lovers in Osaka! The neon signs along the canal shine brightly, with the iconic Glico running man standing tall. I picked a takoyaki stall, and the crispy on the outside, soft on the inside balls, drizzled with sauce, filled me with happiness with every bite. This canal, dug in the 17th century, has now become a food haven, with every bite of okonomiyaki and ramen telling the passionate story of this city. 15:00 Shinsaibashi, Shopping Heaven After eating my fill, I walked for another 5 minutes to Shinsaibashi. This 600-meter-long shopping street is bustling, with fashion brands and drugstores everywhere. I bought some snacks at 'Don Quijote' and browsed through cosmetic stores, my shopping bags getting heavier and my heart more satisfied. Since the Edo period, this area has been a commercial hub, and it remains at the forefront of trends today, with shop windows seemingly calling out, 'Come and shop!' 17:30 Afternoon Tea, Enjoying Warmth Tired from shopping, I walked into 'Afternoon Tea' near Shinsaibashi, ordering a matcha latte and scones. The hurried pedestrians outside contrasted with the quiet and warmth inside the shop, with the setting sun softening the hustle and bustle of Namba, making me cherish this moment of tranquility. 19:00 End, Endless Recollections As night fell, I boarded the Midosuji Line to return, the lights flickering outside the train window, with Namba's liveliness still echoing in my mind. From the solemnity of the shrine to the hustle and bustle of Dotonbori, and the prosperity of Shinsaibashi, the day was filled with surprises. Watching the busy yet passionate people on the streets, I felt their love for life, and this vitality is the most beautiful scenery in Namba.

#newyearnewtrip While we were strolling through 0101 Namba Marui, we stopped by the Lindt store, where a friendly sales lady offered us a sample of their chocolate. We specifically requested a non-liquor option, and it turned out to be absolutely delicious. Captivated by the taste, we decided to purchase some as gifts for our families. The timing was perfect as they were running a Christmas sale, featuring beautifully designed festive gift boxes. 📍 Lindt Chicolate Boutique First Floor, 0101 Namba Marui, Osaka.

#December Travel Support Event I visited 'Narutoya', a yakitori restaurant in Osaka Uranamba where you can feel the local sensibility. I would like to recommend this place because the pub atmosphere and delicious food were impressive! 🍶 The charm of Narutoya 1️⃣ Popular restaurant where reservations are required This place is full of Osaka locals, so it is difficult to get a seat without a reservation. Fortunately, Piyo waited 30 minutes before entering! You can sit with the locals and really feel the Osaka sensibility. 2️⃣ Recommended menu • Tsukune (つくね): A Japanese meatball full of juice, soft and salty. • Keema curry (キーマカレー): A menu with thick keema curry on grilled rice, perfect for when you crave carbohydrates after eating yakitori. 3️⃣ Drink Recommendations • For your first drink, we recommend Suntory Premium Malts Draft Beer! The smooth foam and clean taste are a perfect match for yakitori. • Strawberry Chuhai is refreshing and sweet, making it a great way to end your meal. 4️⃣ Basic Appetizers The tuna and lotus root mixed with mentaiko sauce served as otoshiro are perfect for beer! 📍 Location • Address: 14-20 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka 542-0075 • Recommended route: 10-minute walk from Namba Station • Business hours: 17:00~23:00 (Last order 22:30) • Reservations are required! #OsakaYakitori #UranambaRestaurant #Narutoya #NambaYakitoriRestaurant #UranambaYakitori #YakitoriRecommendation #OsakaTravelRestaurant #OsakaYakitoriRecommendation #NambaRestaurant #UranambaRecommendation #NambaIzakaya #OsakaLocalRestaurant #OsakaPub #YakitoriRestaurant #OsakaPlacesToVisit #OsakaLocalRestaurant #OsakaYakitoriRestaurant #JapaneseYakitoriRecommendation #NambaYakitori #TravelSupportEvent #OsakaDateCourse #UranambaIzakaya #OsakaIzakayaRecommendation #NambaIzakaya #JapanesePubRecommendation #OsakaLocalRestaurantRecommendation #NambaRecommendationRestaurant #OsakaYakitoriRestaurant

This is a cafe called "cafe commerce" in Namba, Osaka. 📍1-17-13 Namba-naka, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture It's a cute cafe with a big Christmas tree inside! ! It's a museum cafe, and the walls are painted with illustrations like those in a museum, so it's very stylish✨ I went there around 8pm on a weekday, but there were a lot of people lined up on the stairs, and I was able to get in in about 30 minutes! I ordered a matcha Mont Blanc, which was sweet and delicious! It's open until 10pm, so I think it's perfect for an evening cafe! It seems that they also have cute drinks that are only available at Christmas, so be sure to visit during the Christmas season! #Christmastrip
