Two-Day Osaka Trip: Food x Shopping x Theme Parks All in One!

Day 1: Osaka Castle 🏯 & Shinsaibashi 🛍 & Dotonbori 🍜

First stop after landing is Osaka Castle, the main keep is unbelievably grand📸, surrounded by a park that's perfect for photos! But the climb up is definitely a workout😂. Went inside to check out the historical exhibits and soak in the samurai culture of Osaka⚔.

At noon, went crazy shopping in Shinsaibashi🛍, with drugstores, clothing shops, and huge department stores all around—time to stock up!👗👟 Also tried the Osaka-exclusive PABLO half-baked cheese tart🧀, rich and creamy, truly a cheese lover’s paradise!

In the evening, headed to Dotonbori, a real food heaven🤤. Must-try everything from okonomiyaki, takoyaki, to kushikatsu! Went to a popular local spot and queued up for okonomiyaki, crispy on the outside, soft inside, with a flavorful and savory sauce🤩. After a full meal, took photos with the Glico sign📸 and felt the vibrant energy of Osaka at night!

Day 2: Universal Studios 🎢 & Umeda Sky Building Floating Garden Observatory 🌆

Spent the whole day at Universal Studios🎡. Right after entering, rushed to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter⚡️, the Hogwarts castle is stunning🏰, and the Forbidden Journey ride is super thrilling! Also tried the butterbeer from the movie🍺, sweet and unique!

Then took on the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure🦖, got soaked but it was so refreshing! The Mario area🍄 was like stepping into a Switch game, bought an adorable star cup🥤!

At dusk, went to the Umeda Sky Building Floating Garden Observatory to see the night view🌃, the whole of Osaka spread out below, twinkling lights making it super romantic✨! Ended the day at an izakaya with some yakiniku🥩, sipping plum wine🍶, reminiscing about the two-day Osaka trip—a perfect ending!

Osaka is truly full of energy, amazing food, and lots of fun!😍 Definitely coming back next time!
