Osaka

🍡✨ Japan Travel Review: Osaka
Cute and charming, a dream trip for girls ✨🍡

Hello everyone~ Today, I’m taking you to “Osaka,”
a dream city full of delicious food, cute cafes,
and amazing attractions! This trip is packed with unforgettable memories.
We walked until our feet were sore, but our hearts were still full~ If you’re looking for a cute, photo-friendly, chill, and delicious travel spot in Japan, Osaka is the answer 💕

📅 Day 1: Arrived in Osaka~ Let’s go to Namba!
We landed at Kansai Airport in the morning, and right after passing through customs,
the vending machines greeted us immediately, haha. The first impression of Japan was the cool weather
and the gentle atmosphere, like being wrapped in a fluffy hug 🎀

We took the train into the city and headed straight to Namba~
Checked into a hotel near Shinsaibashi and went out right away.
First stop: Dotonbori! Strolled by the Glico sign, shopped at Don Quijote, took photos at Ebisu Bridge, and then started feeling hungry~

🍜 First meal: Ichiran ramen in a private booth!
I have to say, it was super cool. The broth was rich, the noodles chewy, and slurping ramen in the chilly weather was pure bliss. Then we continued walking, taking photos with the stunning neon lights at night—romantic with a little tear in my eye 🥹

📅 Day 2: Universal Studios Japan! 🎢✨
Today, we were ready for maximum fun! Woke up early, dressed cute,
and tied a bow to head to USJ~ Wow, it was crowded but the vibe was amazing 💕 We rushed to Super Nintendo World first, took photos at Mario Land, and played Mario Kart—so fun I screamed~

Next was the Harry Potter zone, which was like a dream come true!
Walked into Hogsmeade Village, saw the real Hogwarts, tried Butterbeer, and bought a wand to cast spells with Japanese kids—so adorable~
Then we went on Jaws, Jurassic Park, and finished at Minion Park~ Took photos with the super cute yellow Minions 💛

🛍️ There were so many souvenirs at USJ, I couldn’t choose! Lots of Harry and Minion-themed snacks everywhere. My heart was about to explode with joy. We left USJ exhausted but still smiling 🤍

📅 Day 3: Visit Osaka Castle & super cute cafes 🍰
Woke up full of energy and went to Osaka Castle~
This area gives a very traditional Japanese vibe, with cherry blossom trees everywhere.
Even though it wasn’t cherry blossom season, there were still green trees and a peaceful atmosphere that felt warm and comforting.

Walked to the Osaka Museum of History nearby,
then went hunting for ‘cute cafes’ around Uehommachi~
Found a little cat-themed cafe decorated in old Japanese style, with cat-faced bread
and pudding served in cherry blossom patterned cups. So heartwarming 🐱✨

🧸 In the afternoon, stopped by Shinsaibashi-Suji Shopping Street
for a full shopping spree. There were GU, WEGO, Daiso, and many other cute shops. Got tons of stuff to bring home. Also discovered a hidden cafe in a small alley with authentic Japanese bubble tea—fragrant, sweet, and super smooth.

📅 Day 4: Off to Nara to play with the deer~ 🦌
Took a train from Osaka to Nara, just about 40 minutes~
Upon arrival, we were greeted by lots of friendly deer in the park.
The deer here are so cute, they come up to say hi (or maybe to steal snacks, haha). You have to buy deer crackers to feed them, and they bow before accepting! So sweet 🥹✨

After filling up my memory card with photos, we walked to Todai-ji Temple to see the giant Daibutsu Buddha~ The atmosphere was peaceful and respectful, and the nearby path was lined with cute snack shops. The matcha ice cream was so delicious I had to buy it twice 🍦

In the evening, back in Osaka, we stopped by Kuromon Ichiba Market~ This place has so much food! Sushi, grilled wagyu beef skewers, sweet tamagoyaki, and huge strawberries on sticks—pure bliss 🍓🍢

📅 Day 5: Last day~ Tennoji & final shopping spree!
It was the last day, and I didn’t want to leave yet~ So we strolled around Tennoji Park and Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan! Went up for a panoramic view of Osaka~ It was stunning enough to shout about. If you’re afraid of heights, hang in there—the view is totally worth it~

Before heading back, we stopped to buy souvenirs at Loft and Tokyu Hands. They have everything: cute items, stationery, skincare, snacks, and gachapon!! Spun the gachapon happily and came home with a bag full of adorable and unique finds 😆🎁

✈️ When it was time to say goodbye to Japan, my heart felt a little heavy. This trip was a full recharge for my soul, a soft and dreamy journey that made me realize… “Happiness is simply going out to find it” 🍃💕
