I went to "KITTE Osaka," which opened on July 31, 2024. It is located inside "JP Tower Osaka," a large complex directly connected to Osaka Station, built on the site of the former Osaka Central Post Office building. It has floors from the basement to the 6th floor, and is home to antenna shops, miscellaneous goods, and restaurants from all over Japan, making you feel like you're traveling around Japan while inside the building. This is a facility that you can't miss as a new spot for sightseeing in Osaka!

Of course! I'll write about A1 Bakery in 250 characters in a different way 👇 ⸻ I got bread at "A1 Bakery" I found in Osaka 🍞✨ It's a long-established bakery that has been loved by locals for many years, and the showcase was filled with freshly baked bread, so it was fun to choose! I bought the popular egg sandwich and the moist chocolate bread, and both were gentle and comfortingly delicious ~♡ The interior of the store has a retro atmosphere, which made me feel nostalgic. It's perfect for breakfast or a snack, and is also recommended as a gift ◎ If you like bread, this is a spot you should definitely stop by! #OsakaTrip #DomesticTrip #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

First of all, the first place I went to was Tennoji. I recommend it. Even if you buy a beer alone in Tennoji Park and drink it, it feels healing. I want to feel the emotions of Japan! Of course, there are many places like Namba, Umeda, etc., but I highly recommend Tsutenkaku. The staff are all friendly and they have a Korean menu, so I'll refer to it. I also saw the Glico Sign. If you're going to see tourist attractions other than drinking, I recommend Kyoto the most. There are many places like Kamogawa Shrine, so there's a lot to shop, eat, and the scenery is really nice. I've been going to Japan more often these days, but I want to go to Kyoto again!

🇯🇵 My 3 Days in Osaka, Japan 📍Itinerary overview 🏨 Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dormy Inn Premium Namba Natural Hot Spring It is a hotel chain that can be found in various cities across Japan, including Tokyo. I have chosen this hotel at least five times, highly recommended to every one who wants high CP ratio! 📈 The hotel offered a relaxing stay with its natural hot spring facilities♨️, and the delicious breakfast features a seafood sashimi rice bowl 🍣. The hotel offers free midnight ramen every night from 9 to 11 PM. 🍜 🗓️ Day 1 📍Nara Deer Park 🦌 We visited the Nara Deer Park in the afternoon, unfortunately it was cloudy. The deers were so cute and gentle, deers would bow if they noticed you carrying food, politely asking if you could feed them. It added a magical touch to the experience of being surrounded by them! ⚠️ But be cautious! If they don’t get food, some of them might be quite aggressive. 📍Shopping in Shinsaibashi 🛍️ The vibrant streets were filled with an array of shops, from trendy boutiques to traditional stores, making it the perfect place to find unique souvenirs. 🦀 Dinner: Roast Seafood 😋 Ended the day with a delicious dinner featuring roast seafood, savoring fresh flavors unique to the region. The staffs would help you to roast all the seafood and what you need to do is take good photos and videos for your dinner! 📸 🗓️ Day 2 📍Tsutenkaku Tower We visited the Tsutenkaku Tower, from the observation deck, I could enjoyed the breathtaking views of Osaka. i think it would be more incredible if you visit at night time. 📍Tsutenkaku Slide 🛝 In the afternoon, I went to the Tsutenkaku slide. It only took 10 seconds to slide from top to floor, but the thrill of sliding down while taking in the sights was unforgettable! 📍Shopping in Umeda🛍️ I highly suggest you to prepare an empty suitcase if you’re heading Umeda for clothes / accessories / cute characters souvenirs. You will discover many kinds of clothing, including stylish Japanese attire, and whatever you need!!

The panoramic views of Osaka Bay were breathtaking, especially with the morning sun illuminating everything. 📍Osaka Bay Cruise Santa Maria 🚢 I took an Osaka Bay Cruise on the Santa Maria. The gentle breeze and scenic views made it so relaxing. The tour guide was there to provide places information that you could see on board. 📍Shopping in Shinsaibashi 🛍️ I returned to Shinsaibashi for one last shopping before departure!!

【Monja & Teppan Wine Tavern JUJUJU】 Located about a 3-minute walk from Juso Station, this cozy monja restaurant offers a unique dining experience. The menu names are quirky and fun, making it tempting to choose your monja based on the name rather than the ingredients! 😂 When you order monja, you get to pick one dish from a tray full of small bowls, which adds a delightful touch to the experience. On this particular day, we made our own monja, and as a bonus, free toppings were included—what a treat! 🫶🏻 --------------------------------------- 📍 Address: 3-7-3 Yamamoto-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture 🕰️ Hours: 12:00-14:30, 17:30-21:30 --------------------------------------- 【Yakiniku Oni ni Kanabo Umeda Chayamachi Branch】 The highlight at Oni ni Kanabo is their lunch special: "Premium Domestic Wagyu Toro Momo - Meat Mabushi."

#Osaka Food Guide Ramen lovers who come to Umeda, Osaka, must not miss this well-known old shop "めん屋こがね". The simple industrial style decoration in the store is matched with warm lighting. Although there are not many seats, it is full of the atmosphere of craftsmen. The multi-language menu and handwritten Chinese prompts are more attentive. It is a 3-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station and is a cost-effective choice for lunch and dinner. The must-order "Special Chinese Ramen" can be called the art of soup base: the boiled soup base made of chicken bones and pork bones is thick and mellow for a long time, and it is paired with hand-kneaded whole-grain flour flat noodles, and the noodles have first-class ability to absorb soup. The most surprising thing is the "flavor switching" design of adding sour orange vinegar in the middle - the sour fragrance instantly neutralizes the rich feeling, so that a bowl of noodles has both mellow and fresh experience. The "Special Curry Dipping Noodles" is the gospel of heavy taste lovers: the spicy curry soup is thick but not greasy, and the white rice is mixed with the remaining dipping sauce, which instantly becomes salty and fragrant curry rice. This "soul eating method" makes people can't help but scrape the plate. If you want to add more, the "BBQ pork and egg rice" is a sure win: the soft-boiled egg is pierced and the golden egg liquid wraps the tender BBQ pork, and the aroma of Japanese soy sauce permeates every grain of rice. The simple but full taste is satisfying. The business hours of 11:30-16:00 for lunch and 17:00-23:00 for dinner are very suitable for flexible travel arrangements. You can taste such ingenious ramen for about 1,300 yen per person. No wonder it has become a treasure shop with a high return rate in the Umeda business district.

#Osaka Food Guide Deep in the alleys of the Umeda business district, there is this izakaya "Washiyoi Sakeba-en". If it weren't for a local friend leading the way, it would be difficult to find this treasure shop with a Google rating of 4.5. The moment you push open the wooden door, it's like walking into a Japanese drama scene: the warm yellow light reflects the handwritten menu, the aroma of charcoal grilling mixed with the freshness of seafood fills the air, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks. The must-order iced oysters are drizzled with fresh lemon juice. The fat and tender scallop meat absorbs the sweetness of the sea water. It is smooth and has no fishy taste. The lemon fragrance enhances the flavor but does not steal the show. The charcoal grilled butter scallops are even more surprising: the scallop meat is plump and chewy, wrapped in melted milk butter, and the charcoal grilled aroma and the sweetness of seafood are perfectly balanced, so fresh that people can't help but lick their fingers. The rare chicken sashimi is extremely delicate, the pink tender meat has a subtle chewy texture, and the special sauce completely subverts the imagination of sashimi. The sashimi platter and seafood salad are equally excellent, and the fish and shellfish are extremely fresh and have no fishy smell at all. Special cocktails are only 99 yen before 18:00 every day, and the charcoal-grilled snacks are very cost-effective. You can enjoy the meal for about 4,000-5,000 yen per person, and you can also visit the Umeda shopping district after the meal. It is about an 8-minute walk from Umeda Station. This place hidden in the downtown area writes a warm chapter of Osaka's late-night food halls with the aroma of charcoal and the freshness of seafood. No wonder people want to visit again and again for this taste.

#大坂美食攻略 I checked in at this popular oden restaurant in Osaka. There was already a long queue at the door of the store at 6pm. I waited for a full hour before I was seated. The two of us spent 4,400 yen. Is it worth it? Dining experience record The store is run by several grandfathers. They have prepared a picture menu, so you can easily order even if you don’t know Japanese. There are many kinds of oden, including classic ingredients such as radish, bamboo rolls, konjac, etc. The soup base is moderately salty and sweet, but the overall flavor is not much different from other oden restaurants in Ichime. The unexpected surprise is the curry udon noodles - the rich curry sauce wrapped in the chewy udon, salty and slightly spicy, is the most recommended dish in the venue. Real evaluation The advantages are that the dishes are served quickly, the grandfathers are friendly, and the warm yellow lights in the store create a warm atmosphere. But to be honest, queuing for an hour to taste the "not much different" taste is really not cost-effective. We observed that more than 90% of the customers in the store were Chinese. We speculated that this may have become a "check-in point" due to online recommendations rather than winning by taste.

Osaka never disappoints! 🌟 Spent amazing days exploring Umeda’s vibrant city views, cheering at a thrilling baseball match 🎌, and enjoying the magic of Universal Studios Japan 🎢. Ate my weight in delicious takoyaki & okonomiyaki 🤤. Night strolls through Namba were the perfect way to end each day. #OsakaTrip #Umeda #USJ #Namba #Takoyaki #Okonomiyaki #JapanTravel #BaseballJapan #FoodieTravel

#OsakaShopping Strategy Help! This time I found the fairy street area 8 minutes walk from Osaka Umeda Station! This is a hipster paradise + food savior!

#osakaitinerary Osaka is the second biggest city in Japan after Tokyo. That means, when the sun sets over Osaka, the typical city vibe comes alive with an electric energy that’s impossible to ignore. Neon lights flicker to life in a kaleidoscope of colors, casting a glow over bustling streets packed with laughter, sizzling street food, and the rhythmic chatter of izakayas. One of the most happening neighborhoods is Dotonbori, which transform into a sensory overload: giant animated signs tower overhead, music spills out of bars and arcades, and the aroma of takoyaki and grilled meats fills the air. There’s a playful, unpretentious charm to Osaka at night, where strangers become friends over shared plates and locals welcome you with warm, boisterous hospitality. The upper-end neighbourhood would be Umeda region, which is equally well lit though feeling a lil more distant/cold.

#Osaka Shopping Guide Osaka is a shopping paradise, and Shinsaibashi PARCO is a must-visit place for anime fans, where there are many chiikawa and other animation-related products. The adjacent shopping street is a concentration of drugstore cosmetics. It is recommended to shop around because each drugstore has different offers and discounts, so you can find the most cost-effective product. The Umeda area is mainly high-end shopping malls, suitable for finding luxury brands. However, for affordable clothing, I recommend Luck Rack, which has many affordable options and vintage stores. Generally speaking, the prices of GU and UNIQLO are similar to the prices after the special offers in Hong Kong. During the promotion period, the prices can even be as low as half the price in Hong Kong, which is very cost-effective! Whether it's high-end or budget, Osaka has shopping options to suit your needs! 🕰️Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 10:00 - 21:00 📍Address: 8-7 Tsunoda-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan

#Osaka Transportation Guide Osaka's Umeda business district is bustling, but the unique little streets hidden around it are hidden gems for filming! If you happen to live near Umeda, or have some free time between transportation changes, be sure to visit these small streets! Before 12 o'clock in the morning, the streets were not yet filled with people, and it was quiet and pleasant. The sunlight shines obliquely on the bricks and tiles of the retro buildings, and every shot taken between the interweaving of light and shadow is a great atmospheric film. Whether it is the literary cafe door, the colorful graffiti wall, or the old streets full of life, they are all perfect backgrounds for taking pictures. You don’t have to look for angles deliberately, just stroll and stop naturally, and you’ll get beautiful photos that will go viral on your social media! Traffic Tips: - Subway: Take the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line, Tanimachi Line, or Yotsubashi Line to Umeda Station.

Osaka is really a shopping paradise! It’s simply not enough to reserve a day to stroll from Shinsaibashi to Umeda – it’s recommended to choose between Shinsaibashi and Umeda, and most importantly, close to the subway station! After buying in the morning you can go back to the hotel to drop off the loot and continue the second game in the afternoon. If you will be going to Kyoto, it is recommended to stay at Yodoyabashi because it is the starting station for the Keihan Railway to Kyoto, which is very convenient. 🌟Beforehand Tips: Be sure to make a list! Go to the ones you want to buy the most first, otherwise the hot items in the afternoon will be gone. Focus on two or three locations to shop, don't fly around, otherwise you will be like me, there are still many unbought before leaving🥲 1️⃣ Most importantly❗ Big brand cosmetics are recommended to buy the cheapest when leaving the country at Rishang Duty Free Shop! You can replenish your stock when you enter the country, remember to scan the 95% discount code (search "Play Sunrise" or "Duty Free Shopping Gang" in the mini program), and get 90% off when you spend 6,000 RMB, cheaper than in Japan and get a tax refund. Example: A 90ml bottle of Anni Sunshine only costs a hundred dollars, but 60ml costs 2780 yen in Osaka drugstores. And can be stored on the spot, does not occupy your luggage allowance, no stock to buy in Osaka ~ 2️⃣ Glasses recommended early, ordinary Nikon lenses get the same day, a pair of glasses about 400 RMB, and a second half price discount ~ do not recommend your favorite to talk about Namba Station Owndays, feel a bit pit 😅 I asked him to get high-end lenses even said no, in fact, available ... Shinsaibashi and Umeda have many optical shops have Chinese clerk, not afraid of communication problems. Even if there are only Japanese clerks, it's OK to use translation software to find a patient clerk 3️⃣ buy a lot of cosmeceuticals remember to find the door with Chinese discount sign those stores buy, mostly stated 30,000 yen or more have 95% off. Lightning Avoidance Shinsaibashi Daguo Cosmetics!! ️ Randomly increasing the price checkout will scare, not recommended. Although many people say os drug is cheap, in fact, after the discount + tax refund is almost the same, even less stock. I buy myself according to @Kosme Grand Prize, ihada sleeping mask, Kose makeup setting spray, Shelgam those are hard to find. 4️⃣ Luxury brands If you have a 62-star UnionPay credit card (debit card can not), go to Daimaru Department Store, remember to get the "Journey Global Shopping" discount (95% off + 2% cash back), plus UnionPay's own 2% cash back, equal to help you make up the tax refund fee ~ to scan the promo code to count the cash back❗️ 5️⃣ Buy other brands is the same strategy: large items concentrated in one mall to buy all, do not go around ~ no stock to go to another store. The most wanted to buy must go early, the later the harder to find ~ Umeda Hankyu Department Store brand most complete (with 95% off + tax refund), interested brand recommendations see P3. #OsakaShopping #Osaka Free Trip #Osaka Travel Guide #Osaka Guide #Osaka Drugstore #Hisaka Duty Free Shop #Japan Must Buy #Shinsaibashi Shopping #Umeda Department Store #Osaka Shopping List #Osaka Shopping Tips

I've been here so many times, the best places to visit in Osaka are really Umeda, and the best places to visit in Umeda must be Hankyu and Lucua. If not buying luxury goods, I would go straight to Lucua, overall going the young fashion route, sports brands, designer brands, local Japanese home wear and cosmetics are available, Hankyu has the basics, even fewer tourists, good shopping experience. Foreigners will be given a 5% discount card directly at checkout, and tax refunds are quick on the fourth floor. I remember Lucua has two buildings, Lucua main building and Lucua 1100, I like 1100 more, much better to stroll, 10th floor restaurant choice and more. Lululemon can be refunded directly, mont-bell is not tax-free as usual but the variety is complete and full, and the Chinese clerk is very friendly. A.P.C. and Barbour models are quite a lot, Polo Ralph Lauren is quite large, the price is probably about 70% off domestically. Disney, Sanrio, Tom & Jerry have them, and those new soft and cute puff series from Dongdi can be found here. There is an Isetan Closet collection on the fourth floor of Lucua 1100, with Akira Minagawa, Auralee, YAECA, etc. Although there are not many models from each brand, the selection is really beautiful. Next to the vintage shop Raum is worth recommending, I think it is the best vintage shop I have strolled in Japan. Pathfinder's rainbow latte art latte is a latte art champion shop. Diptyque price is about 2/3 domestic, full 15,000 yen free Christmas limited sapin candle, and many small samples. Other Japanese beauty brands, beams, plage, iena, etc. can be bought, walking super happy ~ If you want to buy luxury goods, go straight to Hankyu, basically all brands have them. LV stock a lot, Chanel to get a ticket in line, the number of people in the store is controlled quite strictly, during peak periods to wait for more than an hour, you can first get a ticket to shop other, and then wait for Email notification back. Other Japanese designer brands I instead think the Lucua selection is even better. Hankyu also has a 5% coupon, however the first tier luxury license does not apply. The biggest drawback is that too many people get tax refunds, and you really need to allow a little more time to get it done. Both shopping malls have official Chinese websites, you can check the store list in advance. #OsakaShopping #JapanShopping #OsakaFree #UmedaShopping #LucuaMustShop #HankyuDepartmentStore #JapanMustBuy #ShoppingSlide #OsakaShopping Strategy

#大坂交通攻略 Umeda Station is the transportation center of northern Osaka, bringing together multiple lines of JR, Hankyu, Hanshin and subway.

The Midosuji Subway Line connects Namba and Tennoji, providing convenient transportation. If you plan to go to Osaka Castle, it is about 15 minutes by taking the Tanimachi Subway Line from Umeda.

Yakiniku Gorichan ✔️ Business hours: 5:00 PM ~ 7:00 AM ✔️ Google rating: 4.9 ✔️ Reservations available I visited this place with a friend who doesn't eat beef very well, so I carefully chose a restaurant with high Google ratings and great reviews on YouTube. Luckily, Yakiniku Gorichan offers not only beef but also pork and other types of meat, so we could enjoy the meal together without any issues. When you visit Yakiniku Gorichan, make sure to order the pickled green onion salad as a side dish. Since beef can be a bit greasy, this dish helps balance the flavors. Orders are placed through the LINE app, so be sure to download it in advance!

🇹🇭 Tastier than the local Thai food..? Thai Select in Osaka Umeda ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Koh Samui by Chedi Luang’ ‘Thai Select Premium’ certified restaurant recognized by the Thai Ministry of Commerce! I knew why it was certified after eating it myself✨ 📍 HERBIS PLAZA ENT 3rd floor (near Nishi Umeda Station) 🕐 11:30-22:30 (Open 30 minutes longer on public holidays) The dishes made with Thai ingredients were carefully plated one by one, and there were various desserts, so it was fun to choose🥥🥭 In particular, the taste was so similar to what I had eaten there that I felt like I was in Thailand for a moment even while traveling🇹🇭 If you’re looking for real Thai food in Japan, there’s no better place than here… Seriously! #Osaka travel #Umeda #travel plan #overseas travel #Japan travel #Umeda restaurant #Thai food #Osaka restaurant

Osaka! Now that you are here, you can book off all kinds of used shops! You must go shopping. This gashapon machine shop is said to be the one with the most in Osaka. It has two floors. It is said that there are 2,400 gashapon machines in total... I was dazzled by the selection. It is a favorite of children and old friends! It is just across from Umeda Loft. It is very easy to find. You can go and have a look if you pass by.

Hidden away in the bustling business district of Umeda, Osaka, "Yugiri Soba Hyotei" is a Michelin-rated restaurant that combines traditional soba noodle craftsmanship with modern creativity. The store address is located at 3-2-123 Inoget Osaka 4F Ballica 03, Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. It is only a 4-minute walk from Kita-Shinchi Station on the JR Tozai Line, and the transportation is extremely convenient. Three must-eat highlights 1. Soba noodles with yuzu and egg yolk sauce The store's signature sauce is based on yuzu juice, mixed with fresh raw egg yolks, and then wrapped around the hand-stretched soba noodles. It has a rich and layered taste with sour, sweet and mellow flavors, and is truly a must-try. 2. Tempura platter The fried food is crispy and not greasy, and contains seasonal vegetables and two large shrimps. It is paired with a special dipping sauce and is the perfect partner for soba noodles. 3. Half-cooked Egg Set Inspired by the classic breakfast of Kyoto's three-Michelin-star restaurant Hyotei, the dish features a runny egg white like solidified fat and a semi-solidified yolk, paired with porridge and side dishes to give you a sense of ritual for a Japanese "pilgrimage-level" breakfast. Dining Experience The restaurant environment combines modern simplicity with Japanese elegance. The open kitchen allows you to watch the chef's exquisite skills in kneading and cutting dough.
