🗺️ Trip recommendation
Day 1: Osaka Shinsaibashi Food Tour + Shopping
On your first day at Saibashi, remember to reserve time to slowly stroll through Shinsaibashi Shopping Street. There are trendy brands, drugstores and specialty snacks. At night, you must try the nearby skewer shop. The skewers main shop (串カツ本店) has a variety of flavors and delicious grilled food. It is recommended to go early to avoid long queues.
📍String Soul Main Store Address: 2-3-5 Shinsaibashisuji, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture
⏰ Business Hours: 17:00 - 23:30

Day 2: Explore Osaka Sea Aquarium
In the morning, take the subway to the Osaka Sea Aquarium and see the giant whale shark and jellyfish wall. It's so healing! It is recommended to see the giant Ferris wheel outside the main building of the aquarium, and there is a coffee shop with sea views nearby for a break before entering. Entrance can rent an audio guide for more exciting.

Day 3: Feeding the deer in Nara + walking in Nara Park
On the third day, it is recommended to take Kintetsu to Nara in the morning. Nara Park is perfect for strolling. The deer herd is super cute but there is some "gossip". Carrying the deer cake guarantees you to be surrounded by deer! Deer cakes are sold by vendors near them. Remember not to feed people food. You can visit Todaiji Temple and walk back to the station along the road. There are Japanese snacks such as persimmon leaf sushi nearby.
📍 Nara Park Address: Koji-cho, Nara, Nara Prefecture

Day 4: Dotonbori Night Market + Burst Shopping Universal Cosmetics
During the day, you can easily stroll around the banks of the Donbori River, and the Glico people’s signature must be checked. Octopus roll at night, another wave of skewers! I recommend the eight-way skewers. They are crispy and perfect for supper at night.

⏰ Business Hours: 10:30 - 20:30

Day 5: Shopping packed Osaka itinerary

🏠 Accommodation Amway
Every day when you get tired of walking back to your accommodation, it's kind of really comfortable to go home. It is recommended to choose a B&B/Hotel near the central area or Shinsaibashi. It's super convenient to walk back.

🍡 Food tips
- The skewer shop is recommended to go before 6pm to avoid waiting
- Buy Nara deer cakes from regular vendors, do not bring your own
- Osaka Aquarium to allow more than 2 hours to slowly see

- Osaka has well-developed subway lines, so it's cheaper to buy a one-day pass
