Let's travel to Osaka🇯🇵

Osaka… This city has a certain charm that made us fall in love from the first step we took. 🏯✨ Although it is not a big capital city like Tokyo, it has its own charm. The warmth of the people, the delicious food, and the atmosphere that is both lively and lovely at the same time. We started our journey with a heart that was beating wildly. Because we were so excited! Kansai Airport in the morning was bright. People looked rushed but friendly. The Japanese announcements that we could not understand but felt strangely familiar. Getting into the city was also very convenient. Whether it was the JR or Nankai trains, they took us into the city smoothly. We chose the Namba area for our accommodation because it was convenient to travel and close to shopping areas. Plus, there was plenty of food! Just walking out of the hotel, we could smell the aroma of takoyaki. 🍡🍢 Of course, the number one landmark that you must visit is Osaka Castle 🏰 When you walk into the castle area, the atmosphere is very shady and peaceful. There are big trees and beautiful flowers. Walking and taking pictures is like being in a Japanese movie scene. Inside the castle, there is an exhibition about the history of Osaka. Anyone who likes the samurai era will definitely be impressed. Then we headed to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori, a paradise for shoppers and foodies! 🍜👗 Upbeat Japanese music played softly from shops. The restaurants were lit up with dazzling lights, including giant crab signs, takoyaki dolls, and Glico signs that everyone who came here had to take pictures and pose with 😆 Speaking of food, Osaka is a true foodie paradise! We tried many takoyaki shops, but the one that we liked the most was along the Dotonbori canal. The dough was soft, the squid was bouncy, and the sauce was very fragrant. Sprinkled with a little katsuo, we were happy for three days 😋 There was also okonomiyaki (Japanese pizza) that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with a rich sauce, and ramen that was so delicious that we wanted to ask for more soup to take home. Another activity that we were very impressed with was going for a walk at Universal Studios Japan 🎢🎡 This place is like another world! The Harry Potter zone is really magical. When you walk in, you feel like you've entered Hogwarts. Drinking butterbeer and watching the sparkling snow castle, my heart is so full. 🧙♂️🍻 There is also a super cute and colorful Minion zone. And the Super Nintendo World zone has an atmosphere like playing a real Mario game. 🍄⭐ Walk through the pipes, bounce coins, and take a photo with a big Mario. Even more at night, the lights are so beautiful like in a cartoon. After having fun until you're tired, you have to recharge at Kuromon Ichiba Market, a fresh market full of fresh seafood and beautiful desserts! 🍓🦀 There are big strawberries that, when you take the first bite, are so sweet and melt in your mouth, and giant crabs that the vendors grill fresh for you, with impeccable sweetness! In addition to the attractions in the city, we also took the train to Kyoto. (It only takes a few hours to get there) We went to Fushimi Inari Shrine. The long row of red pillars, it feels like being in an anime 🍁 and we stopped by Arashiyama to ride a rickshaw, see Togetsukyo Bridge, and see the classic view of the mountains and river. Another very special day was a trip to Nara to meet the local deer who are both cute and mischievous at the same time 🦌💕 We bought sembei snacks for the deer, but they seemed to know that we had something in our hands and followed them to line up neatly (but stared intensely, lol). Taking a photo with the deer made us feel like a Disney princess in a magical forest. Osaka is not just a place to visit or eat but it is also full of good feelings that make our hearts flutter. Everyone we met in shops, restaurants, or on the street were smiling and very friendly to tourists like us. Sometimes, Japanese people who spoke only a little English asked us, "Do you need help?" Just this was so cute that our hearts melted 💗 When it was the last day of the trip We walked around Tennoji Park Viewing the city from Tsutenkaku Tower And stopped by Shitennoji Temple to pray for a chance to return to Osaka again... Because our hearts are truly here 🎐✨ ⸻ Osaka is a city that gives us smiles, warmth, deliciousness And good memories to fill our bags. If we have another chance, we will definitely go back and have more fun than before. 🇯🇵 ⸻ #TravelAbroad #Osaka #TravelJapan
