#大坂之旅 Every day was very satisfying. We visited Osaka + Kobe for 6 days and 5 nights. We visited all the places we wanted to go. Friends who are planning a family trip in Osaka can refer to this✌ 🚇 The whole trip was by subway! Children above elementary school age can apply for a child ICOCA at Umeda JR and use the card🐦 🏨 Stayed at Umeda Respire for 5 nights. The high-rise room is 25 square meters. The double beds can be put together. The location is super convenient! Downstairs is the subway, restaurants and shopping malls 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Pikachu Restaurant-Parco 📝Parco is a paradise for the second dimension! There are Totoro, No-Face, Pokémon, Kirby and everything else... You have to make reservations in advance for the Pikachu restaurant, and the Gengar smoothie is delicious! 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Osaka Castle Park-ytv-Shinsaibashi-Owl Cafe 📝This is my third time to Osaka Castle Park👌Get off at Central Mori-nomiya Station, Exit 3-A is the children's playground, after playing, take the small train next to it to the castle tower! The bronze statue of the Boy Detectives is next door to YTV! In the afternoon, visit Shinsaibashi, check in at Glico and Owl Cafe (book in advance) 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: Magical Animal Kingdom - Mouriya - Nanjing Street - Meriken Park - Anpanman Museum - Former Settlement Shopping 📝One-day tour in Kobe! Avoid weekends at the Magical Animal Kingdom...too many people to get a ticket😂Meriken Park is very chill on a sunny day☀ 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒: Universal Studios Osaka 📝Bought a 3hrs VIP in advance and got to eat at the Toad Bio Cafe! We rode the roller coaster once🥳There were a lot of people. I suggest you buy a U-Pass and go early. We arrived at 10 o'clock and still didn't have enough fun until the park closed. 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟓: Expo 700 Commemorative Park-Snoopy Cafe-NIFREL 📝The whole family loves the expocity one-day tour! There is a bicycle park, maze, children's park, and you can visit the Sun Tower. The NIFREL next door is an aquarium + zoo + art gallery, which is as fun as Kobe Animal Kingdom💕 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟔: Umeda Shopping 📝I prefer Grand Front (North Face, Montbell), Hanshin (RL, keen), Arc'teryx Kobe is better

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ”👘 ⭐ Overnight at Kamogawa: Lie down by the river and listen to the water. I have learned 99% of the laziness of Kyoto people. 🌸 Day 5: Philosophy of Osaka Castle ⭐ Osaka Castle Park: The castle tower and the old men and women fight for a bench. The secret is: "Pretend to look at the map, but move your butt quickly and accurately! 🏯💨 ⭐ Kuromon Market: Eat seafood bowl until you have to lean on the wall to leave, but be careful of the big belly of tuna - your wallet is losing weight faster than me🐟💸 ⭐ Umeda night view: The wind on the top floor of the Sky Building is so strong that your head is bald. It is recommended to tie a bun, otherwise your hairstyle will turn into a "crazy beauty"🌃💇 🌸 Day 6: Carnival at Rinku Outlet ⭐ Nike and Adidas are 30% off? rush! But be careful of the shopping agent's cart - it's a deadly weapon🛒💥 ⭐ Suitcase explosion? Buy woven bags on site! Carrying it along makes it look like the Spring Festival travel rush, but the money-saving character cannot be ruined! 🧳💪 🌸 Day 7: Return ⭐ Kansai Airport: Buy all the limited edition cherry blossom snacks! 🌸✈ ⭐ Blood and tears advice: Check in liquids! Otherwise, when my friend’s SK-II was seized, she cried more miserably than when she broke up.

Day 1: Osaka Castle 🏯 & Shinsaibashi 🛍 & Dotonbori 🍜 First stop after landing is Osaka Castle. The main tower is incredibly magnificent📸, and there’s a park around it, perfect for taking photos! But climbing up is a bit tiring😂. Inside, you can visit the historical exhibition and experience the samurai culture of Osaka⚔. In the afternoon, go crazy shopping at Shinsaibashi🛍. There are drugstores, clothing stores, and large department stores, so you can shop till you drop!👗👟 Also tried the Osaka-exclusive PABLO half-baked cheese tart🧀, which is rich and smooth, a paradise for cheese lovers! In the evening, head to Dotonbori, a true food paradise🤤. You must try okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu! We specifically queued at a popular local store for okonomiyaki, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delicious sauce🤩. After eating, take a photo with the Glico sign📸 and feel the vibrant nightlife of Osaka! Day 2: Universal Studios 🎢 & Umeda Sky Building 🌆 Spend the whole day at Universal Studios🎡.

Last time I went to Osaka for two days, it was completely relaxing and comfortable. The itinerary was not rushed, but every place was very satisfying. Whether it was shopping, gourmet food, or soaking in hot springs, the whole trip was very comfortable. Let me share my itinerary! 📅 Day 1｜Leisurely City Tour & Fine Dining 💼 Accommodation | The St. Regis Osaka This hotel is located in the center of Osaka, the rooms are super large. After checking in, I first rested in the hotel for a while, enjoying a cup of coffee while looking at the city view, which was already very healing. 🛍️ Afternoon｜Shinsaibashi & Midosuji Shopping I didn't intend to buy too much, but once I walked to Midosuji, I couldn't help but go into LV and CHANEL to check out the new collections. Then I went to Daimaru Department Store to browse Japanese brands, and of course, I ended up with several shopping bags. There are also several nice cafés near Shinsaibashi, where you can sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee, feeling super leisurely. 🍣 Dinner｜Michelin Sushi | Sushi Nakamoto I booked this small sushi restaurant, which only has a few counter seats. The environment is quiet and comfortable, and the chef will introduce the fresh ingredients of the day. The tuna belly melts in your mouth, and the sea urchin is incredibly sweet. Every piece is exquisite. 🍸 Night｜Umeda Rooftop Bar After dinner, there were no special plans, so I went to the rooftop bar at Grand Front Osaka in Umeda. You can see the entire night view of Osaka, have a cocktail, and enjoy the breeze. It was really comfortable. 📅 Day 2｜Hot Spring Relaxation & High Tea 🌿 Morning｜Arima Onsen Half-Day Trip I heard that the best hot spring near Osaka is Arima, and I finally got to try it this time. Taking the car there already felt like a vacation. I booked a visit to "Hyoe Koyokaku" to soak in the golden and silver hot springs. The water quality is super smooth, and soaking while looking at the beautiful scenery was extremely relaxing. Then I tried their Japanese cuisine, and the Kobe beef was really tender and sweet! ☕ Afternoon｜The Ritz-Carlton Osaka English Afternoon Tea I originally just wanted to find a place to sit, but then I saw that The Ritz-Carlton had afternoon tea, so I tried it, and it was a complete surprise. The three-tiered savory and sweet snacks were all exquisite, especially the freshly baked English scones, which were just perfect. 🛫 Last-Minute Shopping Before Departure｜Kansai Airport Duty-Free Shop There was still time before going to the airport, so I grabbed a few boxes of Shiroi Koibito and Royce Nama Chocolate at the duty-free shop. Finally, I couldn't resist buying a few Japanese skincare products to take home, a perfect ending! This trip to Osaka was very comfortable. The itinerary was not rushed at all. Shopping, hot springs, and gourmet food were all satisfied at once. I truly feel that Osaka is a place where you can enjoy yourself leisurely without getting too tired!

#2月好去地方2025 The way to place an order at the store is to buy a ticket at the ticket machine, insert the coin first and then choose the dish you like. Fried Chicken Curry Soup Udon✨ The freshly cooked curry soup base is rich and perfect with the udon noodles👍🏻 The slightly spicy curry aroma is paired with the crispy skin of the fried chicken😋 Finally, mix the hot spring egg and curry sauce with white rice🍚 🤤🤤 - ⭐️The store is small, with only 7-8 seats, and the old man takes on various duties such as receptionist, chef, cleaner, and dishwasher, so you have to wait patiently. I personally think it's worth a try! 📍Honmachi Noodle Shop Address: 〒541-0057 2-6-13 Kitakyuhoji-cho, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka Prefecture 🈺Business hours: Monday to Saturday (closed on Sundays and holidays)🕐11:30～15:30 💡Warm reminder: Cash only💴 ‼ ️

When it comes to Osaka, you can’t miss the Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi areas! This place is not only a must-visit destination for tourists, but also a super battlefield for food, shopping, and entertainment. From the super delicious Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki to a whole row of drug stores and trendy brand stores, you can really spend a whole day shopping here without getting bored. Dotonbori - Food Paradise & Even More Beautiful Sightseeing Canal at Night The most famous thing about Dotonbori is the canal, which is full of neon lights on both sides. It is very atmospheric at night! The classic landmarks such as the Glico Runner and the giant crab sign are must-photograph spots when visiting Osaka. In addition to eating and shopping here, you can also take a sightseeing boat, sit on the boat and glide along the canal while enjoying the bustling night view of Dotonbori. It feels particularly comfortable! Shinsaibashi - a paradise for shopaholics, with so many drugstores! If you want to go on a shopping spree, just walk to the Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street next door! This is one of the busiest shopping areas in Osaka. It has everything from affordable drugstores to high-end brands, and there are so many drugstores. The discounts at each store may be different. I really recommend visiting a few more stores, you might be able to find a cheaper price! Moreover, most of the store staff can speak Chinese, so communication is no problem at all, and shopping is super convenient~ The drugstore here really has everything, such as health products, facial masks, makeup, skin care products, and even daily necessities and snacks. If you're looking for cheap facial masks, steam eye masks, cooling patches, and other souvenirs, this is a really good deal. In addition, there is the UNIQLO global flagship store, GU, ABC-MART shoe stores, and 100-yen store Daiso in this area. If you want to buy clothes or shoes, you can also find many great value options! In short, you can eat delicious food, buy good things, and experience sightseeing all at once here! Dotonbori & Shinsaibashi are definitely the places in Osaka that are most worth spending time in. It is recommended to plan at least half a day to a whole day here. You can go shopping and buy cosmetics during the day, take a boat to see the night view at night, and have a plate of Okonomiyaki for dinner, and the trip will be perfect! If you come to Osaka, you must include this place in your itinerary and be prepared to bring back a lot of spoils! #Shinsaibashi #Near Shinsaibashi #Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street #Shinsaibashi Business District #Shinsaibashi Food #Shinsaibashisuji #Shinsaibashi Business District #Shinsaibashi Shopping Street #Japan Shinsaibashi #Osaka Shinsaibashi #Osaka #Dotonbori #Dotonbori Tourism #Dotonbori Gurukine #Dotonbori Gurukine #Dotonbori River #Dotonbori Guru #Dotonbori Night View #Dotonbori Water Sightseeing Boat #Dotonbori Shopping Street #Dotonbori Must Eat

#favouriteitinerary We stopped by this store because it was packed with people, and we had to check it out ! So it was a store, popular for its stylish phone cases, beautiful prints and unique designs - Casetify. Several talented artists created each design and illustration. The catch ? It’s only available in Japan, and with premium prices as expected in Japan.

I had the privilege of visiting Osaka's famous Shinsaibashi shopping district, which attracts thousands of tourists and locals with its bustling shopping streets, diverse dining options, and lively atmosphere. The main street of Shinsaibashi is incredibly busy, lined with a wide array of shops ranging from international brands to local stores. The 'Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street,' in particular, is a pedestrian street that stretches for hundreds of meters and kept me captivated. Walking along the street, I could see the latest fashion items and mouth-watering local snacks like takoyaki and kushikatsu. Besides shopping, Shinsaibashi is also a great place to savor Osaka's cuisine. I tried ramen at a local restaurant here, and the rich broth and springy noodles made me an instant fan. The neon lights on the streets are colorful, especially at night, turning the entire area into a dreamlike world of light and shadow, full of energy and modernity. In addition to shopping and food, there are many attractions around Shinsaibashi, such as Dotonbori, with its giant billboards and iconic landmarks that are unforgettable.

This visit was undoubtedly an enjoyable urban trip, allowing me to deeply appreciate Osaka's unique charm and vitality.

This is the typical crowd of Osaka’s most popular shopping street on weekend. Since we’re so tired after taking a long haul flight, we decided to go back to hotel for a good night sleep, lol

#newyearnewtrip I couldn’t find specific reviews for the Skechers store in Shinsaibashi, but in general, Skechers stores tend to have positive feedback for the variety of their shoes, especially when it comes to comfort and casual styles. Most visitors appreciate the spacious layout and friendly customer service, with staff usually being helpful and willing to assist in finding the right fit or style. Shinsaibashi itself is a bustling area with a lot of foot traffic, so the store might be a bit busy, especially during peak shopping hours. But overall, people typically enjoy the experience as it’s a great spot to pick up comfortable footwear, especially if you’re looking for athletic or lifestyle shoes. #osaka #japan

#newyearnewtrip The British Bag in Shinsaibashi has a pretty strong reputation among both locals and visitors. Reviews generally praise the store for its wide selection of well-crafted leather bags, with many commenting on the excellent quality and attention to detail. The bags often have a classic, timeless British aesthetic—think sleek designs with a touch of elegance, which is great if you’re into durable, stylish bags. The staff are usually noted for being knowledgeable and friendly, providing good service without being overly pushy. Some reviews also mention the store’s inviting atmosphere, making it a pleasant experience even for just browsing. On the flip side, since it focuses on premium leather goods, prices can be on the higher side, which is expected for high-quality craftsmanship. But if you’re in the market for a solid investment piece, many feel it’s worth the cost. #osaka #japan

If you love Japan’s food such as ramen, don and hotpot then visit Japan during autumn.

Ja-fun

The weather was scorching hot today, so I decided to take a stroll around Osaka's Shinsaibashi. As soon as I stepped out of the subway station, I was greeted by a sea of people, mostly tourists, either taking photos, partying, buying food, or shopping for their favorite items. The endless rows of shops and specialty stores can always meet the needs of tourists. When in Japan, you must try authentic Japanese ramen, so I headed to Ichiran Ramen in Dotonbori. The long line at the entrance showed that many people came because of its reputation. The place truly has a unique Japanese charm. I ordered the light flavor, and it was delicious. My friends ordered the basic (recommended as normal) flavor, and they found it a bit salty. After finishing the ramen, we went back to Shinsaibashi to continue shopping. When we got tired, we had some Uji ice cream. Personally, I found it a bit too sweet, but the environment was great. Finally, we visited Tenma Market, which is mainly frequented by locals. It's very affordable, so you might want to check it out too.
