*Tip
If you are only going to Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara, absolutely do not use the JR Pass. ㅎㅎ You will lose money..
Fortunately, I visited Osaka, Okayama, Kobe, Kyoto, and Nara, so I did not lose money. ㅎㅎ

I bought a ticket to Universal for 70,000 won. I paid with Kakao Pay and got a discount of up to 70,000 won. It was great!
I bought it very cheaply from Tourvis, and it was great for me as someone who doesn't like rides! I like taking pictures, so I took a lot of pictures. If you want to enter Mario, download the Universal app in advance and reserve your entry time. Reservations are free.

It is really beneficial to use the Osaka Weekend Pass in Osaka~~
I bought the Weekend Pass on Saturday, when I had the most schedule, and I got a huge benefit. ㅎㅎ
I bought a 5-day JR Pass from Klook for 95,000 won, and I got a great deal by riding the Shinkansen round trip to Okayama. ㅎㅎ
I took the Shinkansen to Okayama It was 120,000 won round trip haha
After that, I came back to Osaka by Shinkansen from Kobe. But it is more time-efficient to take the JR line in Kobe!

So I came back by Shinkansen when I came back late in the evening!

Restaurants with many Koreans are more likely to be full, so it is better to go to places with few Koreans. (If you think that most of the places that are posted on Korean Facebook, Instagram, or Naver are more than half Koreans, it is convenient. Or, if there is a long wait, it is a restaurant that most Koreans go to!)
Restaurants with no or little wait and more than half the people are likely to be local restaurants. Especially, if you search on Google Maps and go there, there is a high probability that it is a good restaurant!!

More than anything, my Japanese friend told me that most of the food at restaurants in Osaka tastes similar and is all delicious, so you can assume that there is no chance of failure~ Don't waste time waiting for a good restaurant.🥲
