Day 1: Exploring Dotonbori district and eating favorite takoyaki 🐙

After landing at Kansai Airport
and passing through immigration smoothly,
Boom quickly grabbed her luggage and took the train into Osaka city.
The hotel was located near Namba Station, which is the bustling heart of the city.

Boom went for a walk in Dotonbori at night, where the atmosphere was lively with colorful neon lights lining both sides of the street,
including the giant Glico Man sign, a landmark here.
Walking around made her hungry, so she ordered “takoyaki,” round batter balls filled with octopus,
crispy on the outside and soft inside, topped with sweet sauce and fluffy mayonnaise. The taste was so good she had to order several more!

Strolling and taking photos was so much fun, getting to see authentic Osaka food culture that many Japanese people also come here to enjoy.
The atmosphere was so great that Boom almost didn’t want to go back to the hotel.

Day 2: Ultimate fun at Universal Studios Japan 🎢🎬

Today, Boom woke up early to go to Universal Studios Japan or USJ,
a dream amusement park for many, located not far from central Osaka. It’s suitable for all ages because it has a wide variety of rides and themed zones.

Boom started at “Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” which felt like stepping into a magical world. The Hogwarts castle was grand and magnificent.
Walking around, she smelled the aroma of baked bread and found a shop selling Butterbeer, the drink from the movies, which tasted sweet, creamy, and very satisfying.

Next, she headed to “Super Nintendo World,” a new, super cute zone full of bright colors and legendary characters like Mario.
Boom enjoyed rides that simulated being inside the game, making her feel excited and having a blast. She took many beautiful photos as souvenirs.

All day, Boom enjoyed many rides, ate amusement park snacks,
and shopped for lots of cute souvenirs to take home.
This trip was so fun she really didn’t want to leave the park.

Today, Boom strolled around Shinsaibashi,
Osaka’s trendy shopping district, lined with modern Japanese fashion stores perfect for leisurely shopping.

Boom bought cute clothes and stylish accessories,
and also tried a café serving fluffy soufflé pancakes with maple syrup and fresh sweet fruit. She said they were incredibly soft and delightful.

While walking, she stopped by a stationery shop filled with cute notebooks and pens, perfect for those who love journaling or drawing.
Boom bought a cartoon-themed notebook as a gift for her friends.

Day 4: One-day trip to Kyoto to see Fushimi Inari Shrine and Gion district 🏯🌸

Kyoto is a nearby city to Osaka, so Boom planned a day trip there. The first stop was Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, famous for thousands of red torii gates lined up. Walking through the torii path felt like entering a magical world. The atmosphere was peaceful and very beautiful.

Next, she walked around Gion, Kyoto’s famous geisha district. Boom was lucky to see geishas in kimono gracefully passing by shops. This nostalgic atmosphere made her feel like she was in a Japanese movie.

Today, Boom visited Kuromon Ichiba Market, a famous fresh market in Osaka with a huge selection of fresh seafood. She tried grilled butter scallops that were sweet and juicy, crispy tempura shrimp, fresh fish sushi, and sweet fresh fruits like large strawberries.

Walking around the shops and tasting delicious food was such a delight.
