✨ Cute Japan Trip Review ~ No matter how many times I go, I always fall in love 🍡🍁🎌

こんにちは～ This trip, we’re taking you to Osaka,
a charming city full of food, shopping, and authentic Japanese cuteness 🥰 Going with a happy heart, every step is fun. If you’re looking for a heartwarming trip, don’t miss this!

🍙 Day 1: Hello Osaka ~ Hungry as soon as we arrive 🍜

Right after landing at Kansai Airport (KIX), we were super excited
because the cool breeze was just perfect—so refreshing~
We took the Nankai Airport Express into the city,
and in no time, we arrived at Namba, where our accommodation is near Dotonbori, just a short walk to the famous Glico sign 🎌

The first thing we did after checking in was… eat takoyaki! 🐙
We walked straight to the Dotonbori canal and found the famous takoyaki shop “Kukuru.” It was delicious, packed with squid filling, soft batter, and the vibe of eating while enjoying the view was so relaxing.

In the evening, we went shopping at Shinsaibashi Shopping Street,
a long shopping street with everything from brand names to 100-yen shops like Daiso, Can Do, GU, Uniqlo, WEGO—so cute I wanted to buy from every store 🛍

🎡 Day 2: Adventure at Universal Studios Japan 🏰✨

We woke up early today for a magical date at USJ (Universal Studios Japan)!
We bought Express Pass tickets in advance and rushed straight to “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” 🪄 Took the “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” roller coaster and got teary-eyed—it was so realistic! Hogwarts was spectacular!

Next, we headed to Super Nintendo World 🌟 Wow,
this is truly Mario’s world, with bright colors everywhere. Taking photos in front of Princess Peach’s castle was amazing, like being in a cartoon 🍄

In the evening, we stopped for dinner inside USJ,
had Japanese curry rice shaped like a mushroom! So cute and delicious, I almost didn’t want to eat it 🍛

🌸 Day 3: Temple visit + more cute shopping

Early morning, we took the train to “Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine,”
an ancient shrine with a very peaceful atmosphere and a red arched bridge called “Soribashi.” Taking photos there felt like stepping into an anime 🌸

In the afternoon, we took the train to Umeda,
went up to the “Umeda Sky Building” rooftop for a 360-degree view. The Osaka cityscape was stunning, especially at sunset with soft blue-pink tones 💕

Before heading back, we stopped at Donki (Don Quijote) and shopped so much our arms almost fell off—Japanese snacks, cosmetics, mosquito repellent, powder, everything was adorable 😆

🧸 Day 4: Off to Nara to meet the deer~

Today we took the train to Nara, a small city near Osaka.
The goal was to see the deer! 🦌 As soon as we got off, we passed local shops selling fresh mochi with such a fragrant smell we had to buy some to eat on the way.

At Nara Park, deer were walking all around us. Some even gently tapped our shoulders as if to say, “Please give me some deer snacks~” So we bought some senbei (deer crackers)
and fed them. They bowed their heads in thanks—so adorable!

We also visited Todaiji Temple to see the Great Buddha—beautiful, peaceful,
and grand in a way you have to see with your own eyes 💗

🌆 Day 5: Last day in Osaka

Before leaving, we took a stroll at “Osaka Castle,”
the city’s iconic spot, white and gold and so beautiful, perfect for princess-like photos 💫 Inside, there’s a small museum about Japanese history.
We enjoyed a leisurely walk and then had a picnic with bento boxes under the trees 🌳

In the afternoon, we stopped by “Shinsekai,” an old neighborhood with the retro Tsutenkaku Tower,
feeling like stepping back to the Showa era. We ate Kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) at a famous shop—absolutely amazing!

🎁 This trip gets a perfect 10 out of 10! 💯

Osaka is such a lovely city, every corner is photogenic. There are temples, amusement parks, cafes, kawaii things, and tons of food. Every day is exciting, never boring~

If you’re hesitating about going to Osaka, we say
