Osaka, a Spoonful of Emotion Between the City and the Alleys

For this trip to Japan, I booked round-trip airfare and hotel all at once through Trip.com, and I made the most of my time centered around Osaka. Having a transportation pass ready in advance was really convenient!

Started the morning at Osaka Castle 🏯
Walking along the majestic stone walls, the castle soon comes into full view—
From the observation deck, the old charm fills the heart right in the middle of the city.

For lunch, a quick bite of takoyaki & okonomiyaki in Namba 😋
The street stalls and alleyway foods scattered around are Osaka’s unique charm.
I also made sure to take plenty of photos full of Kansai vibes near the Dotonbori River 📸

In the afternoon, I took a leisurely stroll around Tsutenkaku and the Shinsekai alleys,
and in the evening, enjoyed the sunset and night view from the Umeda Sky Building observation deck 🌇
The moment the city was bathed in golden light was the highlight of the trip.
