Osaka Travel Review 🇯🇵

A charming city filled with delicious food and warmth in every neighborhood 🎎 Hello everyone~ This trip, we’re taking you to explore “Osaka,” a city of cuteness, tasty treats, and incredibly kind people. It’s easy to get around, convenient to travel, and packed with surprises! Let’s dive right in ☺️ 🎌 Day 1: Kansai Airport - Namba 🍡 Upon arriving at Kansai Airport, grab the Osaka Amazing Pass for free or discounted access to various attractions and unlimited subway rides. It’s super handy! Then, hop on the Nankai train heading to Namba. Our first night’s accommodation is near Dotonbori. As soon as you step off the train, you’ll see the iconic Glico sign by the canal. Snap a photo with the Glico sign and then hunt for some delicious food like takoyaki, ramen, and of course, the famous giant crab at Kani Doraku (the one with the moving crab sign 🦀🍜). 🌸 Day 2: Osaka Castle - Shinsaibashi - Umeda 💒 Wake up to the refreshing cool air~ Take the train to “Osaka Castle,” a magnificent landmark both inside and out. The surrounding park is a favorite picnic spot for locals, complete with birds and ducks, giving off a romantic Japanese movie vibe 🍁. In the afternoon, stroll through Shinsaibashi Shopping Street, a long shopping avenue filled with famous brands, cute cafes, and irresistible souvenir shops. If you love Japanese-style knick-knacks, prepare to splurge 🛍️. In the evening, head to Umeda Sky Building and visit the Floating Garden Observatory for a breathtaking sunset view of Osaka city. It’s so stunning you’ll be left in awe 🌇. 🐙 Day 3: Universal Studios Japan (USJ) 💫 Today is dedicated entirely to USJ! Wake up early, dress in a cute theme outfit, and dive into a world of fun. Explore zones like Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, Minions, and more. Entering the Harry Potter zone feels like stepping into the movie. Sip on a cold, sweet, frothy Butterbeer—it’s adorable! Meanwhile, the Super Nintendo zone is vibrant and colorful. Playing Mario Kart will have you laughing non-stop 🍄. End the day with the evening parade. Everyone’s dressed adorably, and the lights, sounds, and atmosphere are spectacular. It’s so beautiful and heartwarming that it might bring tears to your eyes 🎠. 🧸 Day 4: Japanese Cafes & Souvenir Shopping 🎁 A relaxed final day starts with a visit to a vintage-style cafe in Nakazakicho. The cafe is decorated with dried flowers, making it super charming. The coffee is aromatic, the desserts are delicious, and every corner is Instagram-worthy ☕. Before heading home, shop for souvenirs like unicorn outfits for kids, matcha-flavored Kit Kats, mochi, Japanese-patterned tote bags, and cute character keychains. Your bags will be packed to the brim, haha 🧸💼. 🛫 Wrapping up an unforgettable Osaka trip Osaka never fails to impress. The locals are friendly and cheerful, the food is amazing, and the city offers fun both day and night. It’s a warm and welcoming destination that touches the heart.
