6-minute walk from Exit 7 of Nagahoribashi Station on the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line and Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line, 14-minute walk from Exit 6 of Shinsaibashi Station on each line
🕰️17:00-24:00 (LO 23:30)
"Kenkushi", a Kushiage Specialty Store, is located about a 6-minute walk from Nagahoribashi Station. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy creative skewers that are an adaptation of "kushikatsu", a typical gourmet food of Osaka. The owner, who trained at the long-established Osaka restaurant "Kushinobo", fries each skewer in front of you. The ingredients are rich in originality. You can enjoy a variety of types, from the standard to seasonal and carefully selected ingredients. This time, I ordered the "Manager's Random Course". They keep coming until you say stop. I was full after about nine pieces, but the shrimp was especially delicious. They also gave me advice on how to eat them, such as "I recommend it with sauce" and "I recommend it just as is."

3. Shop at Duthonburi District: Have a great time exploring the famous Duthonburi shopping and entertainment district. I enjoyed the modern shops, restaurants, and dazzling lights. It was a fun and vibrant moment in the heart of the city.
4. Tour Chiochinbo Park: I visited the beautiful Chiochinbo Park and enjoyed walking around the trees, lakes, and charming scenery. It was a quiet and relaxing moment where I could relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

22-hour Osaka transit chance, how to make the most of your short trip
I bought a cheap flight from Incheon Airport to Tokyo, but I had a 22-hour layover in Osaka. First, I made a reservation for a place where I could easily go to Osaka Castle and Dotonbori. I arrived at Osaka Kansai Airport at 3 PM and went to Nagahoribashi where my hotel was. After checking in at my hotel, I walked for 10 minutes at 5:30 PM to arrive at Dotonbori. I rode a river cruise, tried the famous takoyaki, and had fun freely walking around Dotonbori. I walked to Osaka Castle at 6:30 AM the next morning. It was nice to be able to freely tour the quiet city center of Osaka and Osaka Castle Park. It took 30 minutes to get to Osaka Castle by foot, and it took 1 hour to tour Osaka Castle, so I took a morning walk and traveled for over 2 hours. Then I arrived at Kansai Airport leisurely and took a connecting flight to Tokyo at 1 PM. I had a satisfying trip of killing two birds with one stone with a 22-hour Osaka layover cheap flight.
My Osaka day trip without knowing a single word of Japanese
When you go to Osaka, you must use the essential Osaka Pass to enjoy the benefits here and there! And the most important thing is to ride the Dotonbori Cruise!! Ride once during the day and look around Osaka, and then ride once at night to experience Osaka in a different way! I definitely recommend accommodations near Namba Station ♡ I booked the Onyado Hotel with a hot spring, and I checked in late at night and checked out early the next day, but I was still very satisfied! I didn't know a single word of Japanese and just enjoyed the day trip :-) On your day off, go to Osaka and enjoy eating ramen, takoyaki, skewers, wagyu sushi, Asahi beer, etc. and go to work in a good mood the next day ~!!

[Osaka] Enjoy Namba & Umeda
Umeda and Namba are both similar, both have famous chains, and there is about a 30-minute difference between them!
Umeda: Osaka Station, Napoleon Dessert, Hep Five, more locals, hard to get out of Osaka Station and the road is a bit complicated, many department stores
Namba: famous Glico & Asahi billboards, Shinsaibashi shopping street, luxury street, clubs, the Osaka we know, too many Koreans
If you have time, I recommend going to both!

“Osaka” with a different feel during the day and at night🇯🇵
It seems like you've been traveling to Japan a lot lately ◡̈ There are many travel destinations in Japan, but Osaka is so bustling and sparkling that it feels like you're on vacation!➰🤍
In particular, the day and night feel are completely different, so I was able to enjoy the day and night even more!٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ During the day, the clouds and the sky were so pretty and emotional, but at night, the lights were so gorgeous that I was able to have even more fun! And taking a picture with the Glinco statue is a must📸📷
Everyone, enjoy the day and night in Osakaఇ

Japan in red leaf season
The autumn leaves season is coming to Japan and the tourist destinations are close to each other, so you can visit them and save time if you take the time to research before going.
From Osaka to Nara and back to Kyoto, there are many cheap hotels in Kyoto and spectacular autumn leaves.
Look for a day pass to go to many places :))
“Kushikatsu” is a must-eat in Osaka
Kushikatsu is a Japanese dish made by skewering pork or vegetables and frying them in oil. Osaka is the most famous for it ✨🙌🏻
In particular, among the many kushikatsu stores, the most famous one is “Kushikatsu Daruma”!
Dotonbori store
Shinsekai main store
Namba main store
Tsutenkaku store
Shinsaibashi store
etc.
There are so many branches in Osaka that you can eat comfortably anywhere ☺️
I ate at Namba main store, and there was a waiting line at 7pm, so I waited for about 10-15 minutes before going in! Since it was the Corona period, there were fewer tourists and most of the people were locals 💦
The ordering method changed to phone ordering, so I was able to think about it and order comfortably!
My favorite kushikatsu was shrimp (ebi) and asparagus 💗
📍Kushikatsu Daruma Namba main store
Osaka's "real" butadon restaurant
This is a really delicious restaurant, “Cheonjiin”
Butadon is a Japanese pork rice bowl, and after eating “Cheonjiin” Butadon, you can’t eat anywhere else ✨👍🏻 I really recommend it
This is a really delicious restaurant that I visit every time I visit Osaka :)
They grill tender pork neck over charcoal and put a special soy sauce on top of rice, and you’ll be done with a bowl before you know it 💦
Please order the extra size..(I regret it.)
It’s all written in Korean, so you don’t have to worry when ordering 🙌🏻
📍Cheonjiin Nipponbashi Branch
Local address: 〒556-0005 大阪府大阪市浪速区日本橋4丁目15−23
It’s close to Kintetsu Nipponbashi Station! It's also close to Kuromon Market, Dotonbori, and Shinsaibashi 💛

Autumn leaves at the summit of Mount Kongo
This is the view near the summit of Mt. Kongo during the autumn foliage season. The famous signboard with the live camera is still standing, of course, but at this time of year, the autumn leaves near the shop at the summit are truly spectacular. The way they shine golden, as in the photo, is truly beautiful, and if you eat your meal below, it will taste even better than usual.

Autumn leaves in the mountains of Mount Kongo
Mount Kongo is famous as a mountain for day hikes in Osaka. This is a photo of the route along the Monju Ridge Route, which is not the most popular route, but the second most used route. It is a bit bumpier than the route to the Mount Kongo trailhead bus stop, but it is recommended because you can experience the natural surroundings and see beautiful scenery in the autumn foliage season.

Kuromon Market, Japan 🇯🇵
Kuromon Ichiba Fresh Market 黒門市場 or Kuromon Market or simply called "Kuromon Market" is an old fresh market in Osaka that is over 190 years old. The market is so famous that it has been nicknamed "Osaka's Kitchen". Inside, there are more than 150 shops along a distance of over 580 meters. In the late Meiji era, it was originally called Emmeiji Market because it was near Emmeiji Temple and was located on the area that used to be the entrance of the temple, called Kuromon, which means door. Later, it became the origin of the market's name, which is called Kuromon Ichiba. Kuromon Market is located in Chuo District, the center of Osaka.
**Most shops in the market are open from around 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
🚈 How to get there
Take the subway Sennichimae Line and get off at Nipponbashi Station, Exit 5 or 10.

Spring in Yamato Katsuragiyama - Vast azalea fields
The famous springtime attraction of Yamato Katsuragiyama is this vast azalea field. Located just a short walk from the summit, the azaleas are completely covered in red at their peak. Because of the height, you can experience being buried in the azaleas. It feels great to relax here while basking in the spring sunshine.

Spring in Yamato
Mount Yamato Katsuragi is one of the Kongo Mountains, located on the border between Osaka and Nara prefectures. A ropeway runs from the Nara side, so it can be visited for sightseeing, but it also has a steep climb, so it is also visited by many climbers. The summit is a vast lawn, which is very pleasant.
