Osaka

🌸✨ Japan Travel Review: Osaka 5 Days 4 Nights:
This city is full of sparkle in the heart 💖🍙

Hello~ Today I’m inviting everyone to pack their bags and travel to Osaka together! ✈️🍁 This city isn’t just an ordinary tourist spot; it’s a place full of fun, delicious food, cuteness, and warmth you can feel from the very first step ☀️💕

🌷 Day 1: Hello Osaka! Greetings to the city of brightness 🐙🍡
After a smooth flight arriving at Kansai Airport, we took the train straight to the Namba area. This neighborhood is the hub of everything—food, shopping, cafes, and trendy attractions~

The first stop was Dotonbori, the ultimate landmark! Neon lights flashing everywhere, the Glico sign is perfect for taking photos over and over! 😂 We didn’t miss trying hot takoyaki, crispy on the outside, soft and tender inside, topped with bonito flakes that dance—so delicious and adorable!

Before heading back to the hotel, we stopped for ramen at Ichiran 🍜 Sitting in a solo booth felt like a date with myself, but the taste was heartwarming~ Adding a lava egg was the best touch.

🌸 Day 2: Strolling through gardens, visiting castles, and falling in love with Osaka all over again 🍃🏯
On a new morning, we went for a walk at Osaka Castle. The white and gold castle stands amidst beautiful gardens with rows of trees, leaves gently changing color like a scene from a cartoon 🍁 Crossing the red wooden bridge, enjoying the beautiful view, breathing fresh air, and secretly snapping hundreds of photos 😆

After that, we sipped tea at a nearby Japanese café called Nishinomaru Garden Café, tasting delicate wagashi sweets that melt in your mouth, paired with hot, fragrant matcha that warms the heart 🍵🍡

In the evening, we took the train to stroll around Shinsekai 🧸 The Tsutenkaku Tower and neon lights give this area a slightly vintage, cute vibe, like walking through an old manga! We stopped for kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) and cold beer—pure happiness without needing to say much~ 💫

🎠 Day 3: A magical dream world at USJ! 🎢✨
We woke up super early today because we were going to Universal Studios Japan!! Just walking in felt like being hit by magic 💫

Entering the Harry Potter zone felt like flying on a broomstick inside your heart. Hogwarts was stunning, just like in the movies! We sipped butterbeer (cold version, delicious like caramel frappé) and wandered through Diagon Alley 🎩🧙🏻‍♀️

Next was the Super Nintendo World zone, so cute it melted my heart! 🎮🍄 Everything was bright and colorful, with the “ping ping” sound of Mario coins playing all along the way. We even played Mario Kart in AR, racing friends through AR glasses—so much fun!!

All the souvenirs were adorable, from Mario hats and Yoshi plushies to little bear keychains 💚 I wanted to buy everything but had to hold back~

🍓 Day 4: A relaxing day with cute cafes and shopping spree around Shinsaibashi 🛍️☁️
Today was all about leisurely walking and sparkling shopping 🎀 Starting at Shinsaibashi-Suji, a shopping street packed with everything—clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and Don Quijote with so many cute little things to buy!

We also stopped by Pompompurin Café, a pudding dog-themed café that’s super cute! 🍮🐶 Every menu item was decorated with Pom Pom Purin’s face, the curry rice looked like Pom Pom Purin, and the desserts were soft, sweet puddings that melt in your mouth.

In the afternoon, we visited Gram Pancakes. Let me tell you, the pancakes here are fluffy like clouds ☁️ Bouncy and soft when cut, so delicious I wanted to order another plate!

🌟 Day 5: Packing up memories to take home 💼💞
On the last day, we woke up early to go to Rinku Premium Outlet near the airport. It’s a shopping spot with amazing deals on famous brands! I got a pair of Onitsuka shoes and a coat that made me feel like a cartoon character 😍👟🧥

Before the flight, we stopped to buy souvenirs like mochi snacks, green tea KitKats, Japanese perfume, and bear socks at the duty-free shop ✈️🎁
