Osaka🇯🇵

Osaka… A walkable cuteness that anyone who visits will fall in love without realizing it 💓 Have you ever…just looking at a photo of a city warms your heart? Then imagine if you were to actually step foot there How warm would it be? For us…Osaka is like that 🐾 Osaka is a city that doesn’t try to be anything special But its ordinariness… turns into cuteness that makes you want to freeze time for as long as possible ☁️✨ Start your trip with a beating heart and a big smile 🎒 As soon as we stepped out of Kansai Airport, our heart beat faster. Just the cool, clean air that lightly brushed our faces made us smile. I’m not sure if it was because we were excited or because the weather was cute.🍃 Osaka is a city that’s easy to get to, the trains are convenient, the people are kind, and there’s something to see along the way. But what excited us the most in the beginning was the legendary “Glico” sign in Dotonbori 🏃♂️✨ Just walking onto this street, the charming chaos immediately surrounded us. Lights, laughter, and the aroma of delicious food. Everything feels like a Japanese movie I watched in high school. 🍿 Food is the hero of the trip. 🍙🍜🍢 I have to admit that…one of the main reasons I chose Osaka is the food! Haha 😂 Because everyone says that Osaka is “Japan’s kitchen” and we have proven that it is very true! Starting with Takoyaki, the famous shop in front of the Glico sign. The aroma wafted out before you even got there. The dough was soft on the outside, the filling was bouncy on the inside, and it was sprinkled with dried bonito flakes that danced in the wind. It was so delicious that I wanted to freeze time right there. 🐙 Next up was Okonomiyaki, or Japanese pizza, which is made fresh in front of the shop. It was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with sweet and salty sauce and mayonnaise that went really well together. Some shops even put cheese in it, which was so stretchy that it was hard to resist. 🧀 They also have rice topped with raw fish. Fresh and melts in your mouth, Ramen with a delicious soup that makes you want to order another bowl, Kushikatsu, crispy fried skewers that are not greasy 😋 I can say that I gained 2 kg in my 5 days in Osaka with all my heart (and I want to gain more, haha) USJ…a dream world that comes true 🎠🌈🎢 For those who are fans of Harry Potter, Mario, Minions, or just love childlike fantasy, Universal Studios Japan is a must-visit! Just walking through the door, it feels like the world has transformed into a cartoon! Every zone is decorated in great detail, with music that makes you feel like you are walking in a movie, characters waving their hands, and rides that make you scream until your voice is hoarse! The highlight is the Super Nintendo World zone. I must say that the cuteness is multiplied by ten. It feels like you have really entered the game, running through green pipes, collecting virtual coins, and tapping the “?” block with sound effects just like in the game! 🎮🍄 But the most heartwarming part is probably when you get to eat mushroom-shaped snacks. Or Uncle Mario's Burger, it's not just delicious, but it also has "good memories" 🥹 Walking around Osaka Castle... My heart is as light as a leaf 🍁🏯 A relaxing time without chaos must be given to Osaka Castle or Osaka Castle, which is beautiful and elegant in every season. That day, the weather was cool, the sky was clear, walking up the hill, I saw the golden castle top reflecting the sunlight lightly, with autumn leaves falling all around me, like being in a movie scene that I wanted to freeze time 🍂 Around the area, there are parks to walk around, souvenir shops, and there is also fresh milk ice cream that when the weather is cold, it's strangely satisfying 🥺 This place is not just beautiful, but it's peaceful and brings me back to being a child again, like we're traveling with our childhood dreams 🌸 Shopping district... My wallet is shaking but my heart is full 💸🧸🛍️ Osaka is a city where shopaholics will smile because here there are Shinsaibashi, Namba, and Tenjinbashisuji, which are full of cute things, trinkets, souvenirs, and unnecessary things that "must be bought"! Japanese fashion clothes are simple but super cute. Shoes, bags, home decorations, stationery, cute characters like Sanrio, Gudetama, Cinnamon... No matter how many shops you go to, you want to take them all home. 🤍 The 100 yen shops here are no ordinary. Daiso in Japan has very cute designs and the quality is much better than you'd think. You'll be so engrossed in your shopping that before you know it, your basket is full and you'll have to find a second basket. 🧺 Japanese cafes... filled with warmth ☕🧁🍓 Cafes in Osaka don't just have coffee, they also have "feelings". 🩷 Some shops are decorated in a minimalist Japanese style. Some are home cafes filled with handmade decorations. Some shops have fluffy pastel-colored cakes. With plates with cat and dog patterns, so cute that you'll want to take the whole shop home! Try the egg pudding in a small glass bottle. It's fragrant, sweet, and mellow, like eating a cloud. ☁️ With strong Japanese green tea. It's the ultimate relaxation. 🍮🍵 Osaka... Not just a place to visit, but to "fall in love" 💌 Many people ask what's so special about Osaka? I think it's special because you don't have to try anything special. 💗 It's a city that feels like the embrace of a close friend you haven't seen in a long time. It's the smile of an uncle selling okonomiyaki on the side of the road. It's the laughter in USJ. It's the tranquility of a castle in the middle of a big city. It's the simplicity that makes us feel like we're really "resting our minds". And it's a city that we want to go back to over and over again without any reason. ⸻ If you've read this far... believe me, your heart is definitely smiling. And I believe that soon... you'll meet "Osaka" yourself. Because there... is waiting for you to fall in love too. 🍃✨ ⸻ #TravelAbroad #Osaka
