Osaka🇯🇵

🎀✨ Osaka, the city that makes our hearts flutter unexpectedly ✨🎀 If someone walks up to us and asks, “Where to travel in Japan?” Believe it or not, we will not hesitate to answer softly… “Osaka.” Not only because it has famous tourist attractions, not only because of delicious food, but because Osaka is a city that offers something deeper. It is a feeling… like being gently hugged by the whole city. The journey starts from Kansai Airport. Everything looks clean, and orderly. There is a train to the city that is both convenient and fast. And most importantly, Japanese people are so kind that we almost can’t stop smiling since we stepped foot on the ground. Osaka is not a city as flashy as Tokyo, but it is warmer in an indescribable way. It is like a city that “understands us” without having to say anything. 💗 ⸻ 🏃♀️✨ Dotonbori: Lights, colors, smells, sounds, and food that make us smile nonstop Everyone talks about Dotonbori because it is the “heart of Osaka.” When we actually got there, we realized why everyone loves it so much. The giant Glico sign that you have to take a photo with, the music on the streets, and the shops that welcome you. And the fragrant smell of takoyaki that floats in the wind so fragrant that you can follow it without realizing it. 🐙🍡 The food here is not just delicious, but it is an “experience”. • Hot takoyaki, slightly crispy on the outside, soft and bouncy on the inside, large pieces of squid. • Okonomiyaki with a fragrant smell from the hot pan with a rich sauce and dancing dried fish on top. • Crispy fried kushikatsu skewers with a special sauce. Walking and eating, my heart feels like I am hugging the food with every bite. 🧡 Most importantly, every corner of Dotonbori is lively. There are cute themed cafes, antique toy shops, Japanese souvenirs, and Japanese people dress so cutely that I secretly want to ask to take a picture with them. 🥹 ⸻ 🏯 Osaka Castle: Tranquility in a castle in the middle of a big city. From the hustle and bustle of Dotonbori, when changing the atmosphere to “Osaka Castle”, it is like pressing the slow-motion button for life. The castle stands tall amidst a beautiful garden lined with trees. A quiet pond And the leaves falling gently in the wind 🍁🌸 This is not just a tourist attraction, but a “place of comfort” where we walk slowly. Take a deep breath and feel that… everything that has passed is okay. On the upper floor of the castle, you can see a panoramic view of Osaka. Take beautiful photos without having to edit filters. On the way down from the castle, there is a small green tea shop where you can sit and rest, drink warm tea, eat soft mochi, and secretly think, “I want to stay here for a long time.” ⸻ 🎢 USJ: A theme park that makes us realize that we are always children. Universal Studios Japan, or USJ for short, It is a place we have dreamed of going to for a long time. And when we actually got there, everything was even more than we imagined! 🎠 From the moment we passed the gate, every corner of this place was magic. • The Super Nintendo World zone is a world of Mario where we can really run around. • The Harry Potter zone in Hogsmeade Village has fake snow falling gently, the sound of magic wands, and the sound of magic that gives you goosebumps. • Minion-shaped bread, rainbow-colored drinks And the costumes of the people around you are so cute that you want to scream 😍 There are many exciting rides, but what's more special is the "feeling like you're in a cartoon". If we had a happiness score, we'd give it a full 10 without deducting a single thing. 🎢🍿✨ ⸻ 🛍 Shinsaibashi & Namba: The streets where your wallet shakes the most Walking from USJ to Shinsaibashi and Namba Let me tell you... if your wallet could talk, it would be begging you to stop and go into each store 😅 •Super cute Japanese cosmetics store that sells Sanrio masks •Cafe girl style clothing store, puffy shirts, floral skirts •Japanese style bakery cafe with cat-faced bread 🐱 •Shop selling retro toys, figures, rare model dolls Every alley is a treasure trove for those who love cuteness Shopping until you forget the time, forget hunger, forget tiredness, there are only sounds of "Aww~ This is cute!" all the way 😍 ⸻ 🍜 Food in Osaka: Happiness is in every bite Actually... Osaka is not just a tourist city. But it is a city that has "taste" in every dish. Whether it's a big meal in a luxury restaurant or a bento box in a conbini 🍱 • Hot beef rice with a perfectly runny onsen egg • Ramen served in a rich soup, soft and chewy noodles • Real green tea ice cream that slowly melts on the tongue • Smooth egg pudding that makes you want to freeze time right there The food here seems to understand us... how tired we are today, what mood we are in, and what we need. And it sends that warmth through the taste without having to say anything 🥹💖 ⸻ 🚇 Traveling in Osaka: As easy as walking in the backyard Osaka's trains are very friendly to tourists. Clear signs, complete English Easy to walk, just tap the ICOCA card and you can enter anywhere. The Google Maps app is also very helpful~ It's easy to plan wherever you want to go. ☁️ But what we like the most is not just the convenience of travel... But it's the "cuteness of Japanese people" that when asking for directions, They don't just point... but walk with us. 🥹 So we learned that... Sometimes the impression doesn't come from the place. But it comes from the "heart of the people there" more. ⸻ 🌸 Conclusion: Osaka is not just a city, but the good feelings that we keep in our hearts. Osaka is a city that is not just "easy to travel" but "easy to love". It's a city where you can walk comfortably, eat anything delicious, and feel warm even when you get lost. It's a city that makes us become ourselves again. The bright, unhurried, and full of little happiness. 🌷 If someone asks... Will I go back? I'll answer loudly that I will definitely go back because that is "the city my heart wants to stay in forever." 💌🍃 ⸻ #Osaka #TravelAbroad
