Osaka will surely become another favorite place in your heart.

🌸 Starting at Shinsaibashi 🌸
As soon as you arrive in Osaka, head straight to Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street! This long street is a true paradise for shoppers 🛍️
with fashion clothes from Japan and abroad, super affordable cosmetics, cute stationery shops, shoe stores, snack shops, and 100-yen stores.
The great finds will keep you happily shopping, and each store is stylishly decorated.
Every photo spot looks so chic.

🍜 Dotonbori, the lively food and drink district 🍜
Just a short walk from Shinsaibashi is Dotonbori.
This is Osaka’s landmark that everyone must visit! The famous Glico sign is a popular photo spot where people line up to pose and have fun 💃

The food in Dotonbori is a paradise for food lovers. Hot takoyaki
from famous shops, crispy kushikatsu skewers, fragrant grilled crab meat sprinkled with salted fish roe, and ramen from Ichiran that’s so delicious you’ll slurp without shame.

🎡 Universal Studios Japan 🎢
This is the highlight of the trip without a doubt!! 💥 USJ
is the amusement park for movie lovers, cartoon fans,
or anyone wanting to relive childhood dreams.

Must-try rides include The Flying Dinosaur,
which will make you scream at the top of your lungs (but it’s so much fun!), the Harry Potter zone,
where you feel like you’ve stepped into Hogwarts itself. Strolling through Hogsmeade while sipping cold Butterbeer is a dream come true 🧙

And don’t forget Minion Park, super cute with bright yellow tones.
Take photos with giant minions, enjoy exciting shows,
and shop for souvenirs that are all so cute you’ll want to buy them all 🥰

⛩️ Shitennoji Temple – Peace in the heart of the city ⛩️
After all the fun and excitement, let’s switch to a calm mode.
Shitennoji Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan.
The atmosphere is peaceful, with a striking red wooden pagoda surrounded by gardens and ponds with swimming koi fish. It’s perfect for a relaxing stroll, casual photos, or just a moment of peace away from the big city ❤️

⸻

🎏 Amerikamura – Super hip 🎏
Now to Osaka’s youth fashion zone, Amerikamura,
or “Amemura” as it’s called. This area is full of streetwear shops, artsy cafes, and ever-changing graffiti wall art 🎨

The cafes here are uniquely decorated, like those serving animal-shaped bread
or ones styled like laboratories. Enjoy watching Japanese youth fashion in full swing, making you feel like you’re walking through an indie film!

🍙 Cute cafes & delicious Japanese sweets 🍡
Osaka has plenty of cute cafes to choose from, whether it’s a cat-shaped pancake shop, a princess-themed cafe, or a green tea shop serving fresh hot mochi.
The aroma alone will melt your heart 😍

We recommend “Gram Pancakes,” where fluffy pancakes are served in three layers,
big and soft, melting in your mouth. Or if you love strong green tea, visit “Ujicha Gion Tsujiri,” which offers rich matcha ice cream
paired with fragrant crumble for pure bliss 💚

🚆 Transportation & convenience 🚶
Getting around Osaka is super easy! Use Osaka Metro
or an IC card like ICOCA for ultimate convenience.
Train and subway stations have English signs, and the staff are friendly.
(Plus, there are advanced automatic ticket machines.) We really love the cleanliness and precision of Japan’s transportation system.

Also, Osaka is easy to travel from to Kyoto or Kobe.
If you have extra time, you can easily plan a 2-3 city trip without getting tired.

🧸 Cute souvenirs to bring home 🎁
Can’t miss this! Osaka has a huge variety of souvenirs.
Especially sweets from Pablo, the famous cheese tart shop that you’ll never have enough of even when bringing back to Thailand. Or special Japanese snacks only found here,
like Osaka strawberry-flavored Pocky or rich green tea KitKats.

There are also small items like keychains, pens, mini USJ dolls, or traditional Japanese souvenirs like beautifully patterned fans or traditional Japanese cloth bags.
