Osaka🇯🇵

Osaka… A city that makes us fall in love without trying Does everyone have a dream country that they want to visit once in their life? For us… That country is “Japan” and the city that we chose to visit first is “Osaka”. Not because it is the most famous, not because we have to go because someone told us to. But because just the name “Osaka” makes us feel warm like a home that we have never been to.🍃 And when we actually got there, it was a city that didn’t require any effort. Osaka is a city that has everything in perfect shape… liveliness, peace, delicious food, cute cafes, kind people, and an atmosphere that makes you smile even when you’re not doing anything. ⸻ 🚇 Let’s start with the train, with an atmosphere like watching a cartoon. Kansai Airport is the starting point of cuteness. From the airport, you can take the train into the city immediately using the ICOCA card, which is very convenient. Just tap and you can enter every station. Plus, the signs are in English. Sitting on the train and enjoying the view along the way is already enjoyable. Outside are small Japanese houses lined up like images from anime movies, tall electric poles, and pastel-colored station signs. The announcement on the train is so soft and cute that I want to record it and take it home. Before I knew it… my heart was beating fast without me knowing it. ⸻ 🏃♀️ Dotonbori – The area where everything seems “alive” Lights, shop signs, animated characters, music, and people walking all over the street “Dotonbori” is an area that makes us feel like we are walking in a world of endless fun 🎉 When we walk past the Glico sign, we have to stop and take a picture. No matter how many times we come here, it is still as exciting as the first time. Standing with arms outstretched like a runner with the twinkling lights behind us makes my heart swell every time. 🏃♂️💡 Walking a little further, we found hot takoyaki that smelled so good that we had to stop and buy a box. The round balls that were so juicy when you bit into them, along with the crunchy squid, were the best in the world. 🐙 Okonomiyaki is like Japanese pizza with its own unique charm. When you eat it, you will exclaim, “This is too delicious!” ⸻ 🏯 Osaka Castle – A soft calmness in the heart After the excitement, let your heart rest for a while. “Osaka Castle” is a place that looks like it came out of an ancient painting. The tall white castle with gold trim is located in the middle of a wide garden. Surrounded by big trees and wooden bridges that span the pond. This place is not only beautiful, but it is also very peaceful. There are birds chirping, gentle winds, and people walking by are walking quietly. Sometimes you can only hear the sound of your own shoes. Sit by the pond, take a deep breath. And feel that “we have really come this far.” It is a simple moment, but it is so warm that you want to freeze time. ⸻ 🎢 Universal Studios Japan – The world of a child in an adult’s body I used to dream of walking into the world of Mario, of flying on a broomstick like Harry, and this place made all those dreams come true. 💫 USJ is not just a theme park, but it is “another world” that is cute in every corner. Super Nintendo World is a zone where everything is exactly like in the game! The jumping boxes, sound effects, characters, everything is real. Just walking in that zone is like my heart melting. 🍄 When I entered the Harry Potter zone, everything was magical. The Magic Wand Shop, the Candy Shop, Hogwarts Castle And Butter Beer That's So Sweet You Want To Buy It Home🍺 It's not just a place, it's a childhood memory that we can bring back again ⸻ 🛍️ Namba & Shinsaibashi - Streets Full of Cuteness That You Want to Buy Everything! Shopaholics Must Scream! Because this area is heaven for those who love cuteness Minimalist Korean-Japanese clothing stores, small cafes with cartoon bakery, Japanese cosmetics, dog-patterned files, cat-face pens 🐾 Walking into Daiso, Loft, Donki, 3Coins, each store is a trap that tricks your wallet into opening automatically We secretly bought things that we didn't need but wanted such as mini sushi paper clips 🍣, takoyaki keychains Japanese-style accessories that make you feel like you're a cute character ⸻ 🍜 You can eat endlessly because Osaka is the land of divine food! Let me emphasize again that... Osaka is the land of delicious food No matter where you look, there are tempting food Apart from takoyaki and okonomiyaki, there are many other things you shouldn't miss: • Hot pork bone soup ramen served with soft boiled eggs and melt-in-your-mouth pork 🍜 • Salmon sushi that is so fresh and sweet that it melts in your mouth • Beef rice topped with hot onsen eggs that the aroma wafts out from the shop, making you want to walk in • And of course, dessert! Smooth Japanese pudding, matcha daifuku, dorayaki, fresh strawberries covered in sugar 🍓 Every bite is like telling yourself, "Thank you for coming here!" 🥺💗 ⸻ 🚶 Getting around in Osaka - Easy, convenient, and kind Osaka's transportation system is super friendly, with clear maps, on-time trains, and helpful staff. Even though they only speak a little English, the Japanese people's efforts are so cute. We got lost in the station, and a smiling old man came to help us. He used pure body language to help us get to our destination. Sometimes, cuteness isn't just in the shops. But in the heart of the people of this city 🧓❤️ ⸻ 💌 In conclusion... Osaka is a tangible happiness Osaka is not the biggest city, not the most fancy city But it is the city that we feel like "wanting to go back" the most Because there is fragrant air There is soft music floating from the shop on the side of the road There are people who smile easily There is food that soothes the soul There are small streets that are suitable for walking alone And there is something that makes our hearts beat softly... Every time we think of it If your heart is tired, Osaka is the place you should go to rest Because this city will hug you with cuteness... Without saying anything 🌷✨ ⸻ #Osaka #TravelAbroad
