Osaka🇯🇵❄️

Osaka Travel Review 🍜🍁🎏 A land full of cuteness, deliciousness, and warmth Osaka~ Just hearing this name makes my heart beat faster With excitement! If anyone has ever dreamed of a warmer version of Japan than Tokyo, with a chill, homely charm, but full of fun, and delicious food that will make you cry... Osaka is the place I want you to visit at least once in your life 💖 Start the trip with extreme excitement because we flew directly to Kansai Airport (KIX) and headed straight to the heart of Osaka without delay! Take the Nankai train to Namba, it's like entering a new world~ Tall buildings, cute shops, cute cafes, hot food restaurants The smell fills your stomach to growl every five minutes 🍛 ⸻ 💖 Dotonbori area, a fascinating hustle and bustle If you come to Osaka and don't stop by Dotonbori, it's like you haven't been here! This is truly a lively area. When you walk in, you're in a world of dazzling signs. Especially the famous Glico sign that you have to take a picture with your arms spread out running like a real runner ✨🏃♀️💨 Around there are many restaurants that I want to go to every single one of them. Hot takoyaki, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, that when you put it in your mouth, you have to do a little dance with excitement 🐙💃 Or okonomiyaki, which is called Japanese pizza, eating while watching the chef make it, how fun is that? ⸻ ⛩ Osaka Castle with warm autumn leaves We traveled to Osaka Castle comfortably by train Then we continued to walk through Osaka Castle Park surrounded by large trees and wide walkways as far as the eye can see 🍁 When we got close to the castle, wow! It was like being transported into a samurai movie that I watched as a child. The white and gold castle stands tall in the middle of a large park. The atmosphere is quiet but full of kind-hearted tourists who come to have picnics and take pictures of the red leaves. And sit and enjoy the beautiful view without rushing 🍂 ⸻ 🐾 Walk around Shinsekai & Tsutenkaku Tower Shinsekai area is another place that we love ~ It looks a little vintage mixed with a little antiquity but has a real Japanese charm 🧸 Old toy shops, restaurants decorated with lanterns and grocery stores that feel like they've traveled back in time to the Showa era Of course, we went up to Tsutenkaku Tower ~ On top, there's a wide view of Osaka City and there's also a statue of Billiken the god of fortune that you can rub your feet to make a wish! It's strangely cute but it's worth trying for yourself ⸻ 🐢 Universal Studios Japan, a dream come true Of course, USJ is the highlight of the trip! When you enter, you're in a full-on fantasy world, especially the newly opened Super Nintendo World zone It's like running around in a Super Mario game 🎮🍄 Mushroom boxes, jumping boxes, go-karts, and characters jumping around Every corner is cute Plus, we got to go to the Harry Potter zone! We screamed from the moment we saw the Hogwarts Express train, walked into Hogsmeade Village, and ended with a sweet, cold Butterbeer that made us feel like witches and wizards. 🧙♀️✨ ⸻ 🛍 Cute shopping at Shinsaibashi & Namba Those who love shopping will scream! This shopping area is a real paradise. There are Japanese cosmetics, local brand clothes, cute souvenirs, and my favorites are 3Coins and Daiso stores that I almost bought everything back to Thailand. 🛍 Even if your legs are sore from walking, there are cute cafes to sit and rest in, such as cat cafes, bear cafes, or strangely themed cafes like Alice in Wonderland that are decorated like a fairy tale! 🐱🍰 ⸻ 🍚 Osaka food is not just “Oishi”, it’s “Wowwwwwww”. I can’t talk about food anymore because there’s so much and everything is good!! Whether it's: • Ramen at Ichiran, where you have to sit in separate rooms to eat, giving you peace of mind but also making you cry • Kushikatsu, fried skewers that you can't dip in the sauce once! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, you'll have to order two more sets • Beef rice bowls, a truly Japanese style, with soft meat that melts in your mouth and is so fragrant you'll want to eat five more bowls • Japanese sweets like mochi, green tea soft cream, or custard-like egg pudding, are all amazing. 🎂🍡 ⸻ 🧸 Summarize this trip in one word: "Heartwarming" Osaka may not be the most luxurious city in Japan, but it's a city full of smiles, friendliness, sincere cuteness, and an atmosphere that makes us not feel like just a 'tourist' but like visiting a warm friend's house. 🏠 The transportation is convenient, the shops are full of smiling people, the food is delicious every meal, taking pictures from every angle is beautiful, and the locations are diverse, from traditional culture to fantasy worlds. On the way back... There are some tears in my eyes 🥺 Because it feels like I'm leaving something good behind But it's okay Because we know that "Osaka... We'll definitely come back" 💌🇯🇵 ⸻ #Osaka #TravelAbroad
