Osaka Japan Travel Review: A colorful city, delicious food, and cuteness 💖✨ Hello everyone! Today, Boom will take you to Osaka (Osaka), a city full of color, fun, and delicious food! I am very excited about this trip because Osaka is one of the cities that combines traditional and modern Japan perfectly. Let's go and experience the cuteness, brightness, and cuteness of Osaka! ⸻ Travel and preparation Fly to Kansai International Airport. It's very easy. There is an express train that connects to the center of Osaka, taking less than an hour. Boom recommends downloading the JR Pass app or buying an ICOCA card for convenient travel by train and bus within the city. The fare is not expensive and it's very easy to travel. Don't forget to prepare clothes that are suitable for the season you're going to. Osaka has four distinct seasons. Boom went in spring. The weather was cool and comfortable. There were cherry blossoms to see. It was so cute. ⸻ Day 1: Dotonbori area — a foodie's paradise After checking in at the accommodation in Namba area, Boom immediately went straight to Dotonbori. Dotonbori is a place where you can find deliciousness and fun. There is a very famous Glico neon sign that is a landmark of Osaka. The food here is excellent. Boom tried Takoyaki (grilled squid balls) which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sweet and salty sauce and rich mayonnaise were so delicious that he had to buy it again and again. Then there was Okonomiyaki a Japanese pancake filled with vegetables and meat in large pieces. The taste is well-rounded and the aroma of spices is so warming to eat. Walk around and see the various shops that are decorated cutely There are so many snacks and souvenirs that Boom didn't want to go back. ⸻ Day 2: Universal Studios Japan (USJ) — A Dream World On the second day, Boom was very excited to go to Universal Studios Japan. It is not far from the city center. It only takes about 15-20 minutes by train. Boom bought a Fast Pass ticket in advance so that he wouldn't have to wait in line. Play the rides in a relaxed way. My favorite zone is Harry Potter. It's so beautiful and magnificent, like you've really entered a magical world. Boom tried Butterbeer, a sweet and fragrant drink that was so smooth on the tongue, and also got to play Mario Kart, in the Super Nintendo World zone. It was so much fun that I forgot the time. ⸻ Day 3: Shopping at Shinsaibashi and cute cafes Shinsaibashi is a popular shopping area in Osaka. Boom walked around and shopped, looking for cute souvenirs to take home. We also stopped by a cute Japanese-style cafe. The latte art with cute animals and soft cakes were so good. ⸻ Day 4: Kyoto Day Trip Osaka is very close to Kyoto, so Boom took a day trip to Kyoto. We went to see Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, with its long red torii gates, and walked up the mountain to see the view of Kyoto in a relaxed way. The atmosphere was very peaceful. Then Boom walked around the Gion district, which is full of old Japanese-style houses. Boom was lucky enough to see Geisha and Maiko walking by in a very cute way. ⸻ Day 5: Kuromon Ichiba Market — Fresh Seafood Kuromon Ichiba Market is a famous fresh market full of fresh seafood and various foods. Boom tried crispy tempura shrimp, grilled scallops, and fresh sushi. The atmosphere in the market was lively. There were people talking and the smell of food made walking around and eating very enjoyable. ⸻ Osaka travel tips •Using ICOCA or Suica cards is very convenient. •Wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking. •Download a translation app, it helps a lot. •Bring your own cloth bag. Japan doesn't give out free bags. •Don't forget to eat Osaka's delicious takoyaki and okonomiyaki! ⸻ Summary of impressions Osaka is a city that has everything: culture, fun, and delicious food. Boom was impressed by every place we went to. We took beautiful pictures and went home with a lot of cameras. The atmosphere and people here are so lovely and warm. If you want to travel to Japan happily and have fun, don't miss Osaka! ⸻ #TravelJapan #TravelAbroad #Osaka
