I stepped on a landmine! 9 days and 8 nights in Japan | Osaka

The first time I went to Japan, I chose to travel from Kansai to Tokyo, Osaka➡️Nara➡️Kyoto➡️Hakone➡️Tokyo. The overall experience was quite smooth. 📌Day1 Guangzhou ✈️Osaka We arrived at the airport at around 9pm Japan time and took the airport bus for about an hour to Osaka Station. As soon as we got off the bus, we saw the hotel we were staying at, Hotel New Hankyu Osaka. The location was very good, with the Midosuji Line downstairs and Osaka Station just a few hundred meters up the overpass. 📌Day2 Universal Studios Japan🌍 I arrived at Universal Studios before 7:30 in the morning, and there was already a long line when I got there (my god, those people came so early). I checked the map on the USJ app in advance while queuing, and after the security check, I sprinted directly to the Nintendo Park. Although I was not the first batch to enter the park, I did not have to draw a group ticket! I was really shocked when I first walked in. It was so beautiful. I have to say that the detail design of the entire park is very good, worthy of Nintendo. But don't rush to take pictures at this time. It will be better to take pictures when the sun is more abundant at noon. As soon as we entered, we lined up for Mario Kart 🏎️, and it took us an hour and a half to queue (it would have been a much better experience with a fast pass). We didn't buy wristbands, which was a little regrettable, because many things in the park require wristbands to interact. We didn’t play the rest of the games because there were quite a lot of people there that day and it seemed like we had to wait in line for a long time. Then we went to 🍄Mario Restaurant. No tickets were issued that day, so we just had to queue. However, the queue was not long, about half an hour. While waiting in line, a staff member asked us to scan the code to see the menu in advance, and we could also choose the Chinese version. After ordering, we were given a number and taken to our seat. After the dishes were served, the waitress was very enthusiastic and offered to help take photos. I didn’t understand at first and thought that everything was served so we could take photos of the food, but it turned out that she was taking photos of us (haha, I laughed at myself for being so stupid 🫰🏻) After eating, I walked around the entire park, took some photos, and then went to the Mario store to buy peripherals. After entering, I couldn’t walk at all. I wanted to have everything 😻🤲🏻 In the afternoon, I took a walk around the Harry Potter theme area and finally went to see the floats! I still remember the song NO LIMIT, it was so catchy. The atmosphere of the float parade was great, everyone was so excited, it was like dancing outdoors🪩 You can also use the receipts to get a tax refund for the peripherals you bought. It's near the exit of USJ, very convenient~ I went to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori in the evening. Since I didn't have any reservations for dinner, I went to the nearby Ichiran Ramen 🍜 to eat. I happened to see a girl group performing. Although I didn't know them, I also cheered for them with the people next to me and felt the atmosphere. I walked around the snack street and tried octopus balls (I couldn’t understand the Japanese so I chose the one with ginger powder, which was just average). I accidentally bought a grilled crab stick, which was surprisingly delicious!
