#Overseas travel 📌 Marufuku Coffee Sennichimae Main Store 丸福珈琲店 千日前本店 Dotonbori Kitsaten with 90 years of history, brunch cafe 'Marufuku Coffee Sennichimae Main Store' is a place full of antique sensibility in every space inside. The interior is wider than it looks from the outside, so I visited on a holiday morning and was able to enter right away without waiting. It is open from 8 AM to 11 PM, so it would be good to have brunch in the morning and visit the cafe leisurely in the afternoon. #Osaka #OsakaTravel #CafeRecommendation #osaka #osakacafe #cafe #osakatrip #osakatravel #cafe #cafe #osakacafe

The adorable rose tree at Marufuku Cafe in Osaka is famous for its Instagram-worthy atmosphere. Located in Dotonbori, it's a great spot to visit after seeing the Glico sign. The charm of Marufuku lies in its rich coffee served in traditional teacups. With its strong black coffee, sugar cubes, and condensed milk, it exudes a nostalgic vibe, making it a perfect place to leisurely enjoy your coffee. 📌 Marufuku Coffee Sennichimae Main Store 📍 1 Chome-9-1 Sennichimae, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0074 Japan

The interior is quite quiet, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee. I visited on Christmas Day, and there were many couples. The atmosphere is perfect for a date spot.

Ginkaku-ji is a serene temple located in Kyoto. Although it has a long history, the buildings were reconstructed due to a fire. It harmonizes well with the unique natural atmosphere of Buddhism, and the garden is beautifully maintained. Ginkaku-ji is a place where the garden and scenery themselves are spectacular, attracting visitors from all over the world. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes to tour the entire interior space of Ginkaku-ji. It's a spacious area, so I recommend visiting with comfortable shoes and at a leisurely pace.

You need to go through the alley entrance next to a vintage-style building to find the cafe. The interior consists of two-person tables, sofa seats, and a bar table. There is also a small garden that leads outside, making it a nice place to take a leisurely stroll. I ordered the seasonal menu item, strawberry pancakes, and a drink, the colorful cream soda. Both the refreshing cream soda and the sweet pancakes were delicious, making it a great place to spend some time. The staff were friendly, and I would love to visit again.

O'Cafe Kyoto is located near Kawaramachi in Kyoto, and since it's nestled in an alley, you need to carefully check the entrance. The owner is a barista champion, so the coffee quality is guaranteed. They also offer a variety of desserts like coffee jelly, pancakes, and pudding. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious, making it a great spot for those looking for a cafe in Kyoto.

A small and quiet town about 2 hours from Osaka, but I must say that anyone who likes Onsen is really good. I want everyone to try to open their experience. There are 7 hot spring baths (Onsen) in total. 📍Kono-yu 📍Mandara-Yu 📍Goshono-yu 📍Ichino-yu 📍Yanagi-yu 📍Jizo-yu 📍Satono-yu 🗓️Travel planning: It is recommended to use the Kansai Wide Area Pass. #osakajapan #osakatrip #kinosakionsen

Recommended ryokan hotel in Kinosaki Onsen. Good price, good service from staff, and super comfortable bed. There is an onsen in the hotel. There is also a private onsen, but it is recommended to book in advance. 💰Average price per person: 1,500-2,000 depending on the time 💞Reason for recommendation: Near cafes and restaurants and not far from Kinosaki Onsen train station #kinosakionsen #beautifulaccommodationreview #osakajapan #osakatrip

Ginkaku-ji is a place where you can enjoy Japan's serene natural scenery, making it well worth a visit. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes to explore the entire temple grounds, so it's recommended to visit at a leisurely pace.

📍 Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, Hokan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda) Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka are must-visit streets in Kyoto, filled with various shops, making them perfect for leisurely exploration. These areas are also rich in attractions like Kiyomizu-dera and Hokan-ji Temple. I visited during the cherry blossom season, and despite the crowds, it was truly magnificent. A trip to Osaka and Kyoto next spring would be a great idea.

#voyagevibes #osakatrip #summerdestinations #japan "Osaka, the food capital of Japan, stole my heart and taste buds! I spent 5 incredible days in this vibrant city, and it was a culinary adventure! From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The city's energetic atmosphere, rich history, and mouth-watering food made me feel like I was in a food paradise. I stayed in a cozy hotel in the Dotonbori area, which cost around $300 for the entire stay. From there, I explored the city using the efficient metro system, which cost around $2 per ride. Here are some of the top places I visited: - Dotonbori: free entrance (I took in the neon lights, street food, and unique entertainment) - Osaka Castle: $5 entrance fee (I explored the historic castle and gardens) - Universal Studios Japan: $70 entrance fee (I experienced the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and more) - Umeda Sky Building: $10 entrance fee (I saw breathtaking views of the city) - Shinsekai: free entrance (I explored the retro-style neighborhood and tried kushikatsu) The food in Osaka was incredible, and I tried everything from street food to high-end restaurants. A traditional Osaka dinner cost around $20, while a fancy dinner cost around $100. Here's a breakdown of my expenses: - Flights: $800 - Accommodation (5 nights): $300 - Food and drink: $500 - Transportation (metro, buses, etc.): $20 - Activities and entrance fees: $200 - Total: $1,820 Osaka, I'll be back for more!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Japan is a must-visit, featuring various performances. Actors reenact scenes from Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, making you feel like you've stepped into the movies. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has two main attractions that are extremely popular. Although the wait times can be quite long, it's highly recommended to experience both.

Osaka, known as the kitchen of Japan, is a paradise for food lovers and a must-visit destination for authentic street food. The city offers a delectable array of snacks and dishes that reflect its rich culture. Here are five street food delights you absolutely cannot miss! 1. Takoyaki: The Iconic Octopus Balls** No trip to Osaka is complete without trying takoyaki, the city’s most famous street food. These ball-shaped snacks are made from a savory batter filled with tender octopus, green onions, and pickled ginger, cooked until golden brown. Topped with takoyaki sauce, bonito flakes, and seaweed, they are a delicious and portable treat. 2. Kuromon Market Seafood: A Fresh Feast For seafood lovers, Kuromon Market is a must-visit. This bustling market offers everything from grilled squid to fresh sashimi. Don’t miss the grilled scallops topped with garlic butter—juicy and bursting with flavor! 3. Oden: A Comforting Winter Favorite Oden is a hearty dish of various ingredients simmered in a light soy-flavored dashi broth. You’ll find items like boiled eggs, daikon radish, and fish cakes, all infused with rich flavors. Served in cozy food stalls, it’s a perfect warm treat during colder months. 4. Gyoza: Flavorful Pan-Fried Dumplings Gyoza, pan-fried dumplings filled with minced pork and vegetables, are a popular snack in Osaka. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside, they are often served with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and vinegar. 5. Kushi Katsu: Crispy Fried Sticks Don’t forget kushi katsu—skewered and deep-fried delights! These crispy treats come with various fillings and are served with a tangy dipping sauce, making them a fun and communal snack. Osaka’s street food scene offers a vibrant array of flavors. Grab your chopsticks and dive into this culinary adventure—you won’t be disappointed! #japantrip #osakatrip

At Universal Studios Japan, you can check the schedule for cute character greetings, parades, and shows directly on the app. If there's a character you want to meet on the day of your visit, it might be a good idea to check the time and location in advance. I was lucky enough to see cute characters like Super Mario, Toad, Minions, and dinosaurs at Super Mario World.

⏰ 11:00~02:00 📍 Japan 〒542-0071 Osaka, Chuo Ward, Dotonbori, 2 Chome−2−17 Chubei Building 1F 📌 CASH ONLY Kyushu Ramen Kio is a popular restaurant located in Dotonbori, more famous among tourists than locals. Among the menu items, the signature Tomato Ramen is the most popular. The tangy tomato and rich cheese blend together to create an oddly addictive flavor. Takeout is available, and the long business hours make it a perfect spot for those looking for a late-night snack in Dotonbori.

With the addition of the new Super Mario Village at Universal Studios Japan, it has become even more popular than before. The Super Mario photo zones and attractions are filled with cuteness, making it a must-visit for those planning a trip to Osaka, Japan. I purchased a ticket that included a Super Mario World reservation pass, exchanged the reservation pass at the designated location, and submitted it upon entry.

⏰ Weekdays 10:00~21:00 // Weekends 10:00~22:00 📍 1 Chome-1-10 Kaigandori, Minato Ward, Osaka, 552-0022 Japan 💰 900 yen per person (e-pass not accepted) Tempozan is located near the sea, offering a great view of both the sea and the city. I visited in the evening to see the night view, and it was even more impressive with the many bridge views nearby. Since it's near the sea, the Ferris wheel can sway a bit when it's windy, which can be a bit scary, but at a height of 112.5 meters, the view is even more spectacular. The higher you go, the more magnificent the view. I recommend seeing it with your own eyes as photos can't capture the full beauty. The cost is 900 yen per person, and unfortunately, the Osaka e-pass does not include Tempozan.

📍 2 Chome-5-1 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0002 Japan 📍 Namba Station ➡️ Tsutenkaku: ~20 minutes Take the Midosuji Line from Namba Station and get off at Dobutsuen-mae Station. It's only a 10-minute subway ride, making it an easy place to visit. Osaka's Tsutenkaku is a place where you can see a dazzling shopping street and tower. If you take pictures in the Shinsekai Hondori Shopping Street filled with colorful signs, you can capture the tower in your photos. It's a popular photo spot, so there are usually many people taking pictures where the tower is visible. However, if you move a bit further away, you can find quieter spots to take your photos. Tsutenkaku looks great during the day and even more spectacular at night thanks to its bright lights. It's highly recommended for those looking for photogenic spots in Osaka.

The HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Umeda, Osaka. Located right above a shopping mall, this Ferris wheel is impressively tall. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Osaka's landscape. During the day, you can take hip photos inside the red Ferris wheel, and at night, you can enjoy the stunning night view of Osaka. ⏰ 11:00~23:00 📌 Duration: 15 minutes 📍 Japan 〒530-0017 Osaka, Kita Ward, Kakudacho, 5−15 HEP FIVE 7F

Imaicho. Not far from Osaka there is a place that, as they say, has not changed since the Edo period - the same houses as in those days, the same streets, the administration monitors and renovates the houses. We decided to combine a trip to the city of Nara with a visit to Imaicho and did not regret it at all. You can do it yourself or find a guide on the Trip.com service. We went on our own: There is a direct train from Nara station to Unebi station, there is a tourist information center where you can get brochures and a map of the places. I recommend visiting these places: 📌Tsuneoka Soy Sauce Brewery 📌Kawai sake brewery 📌Takagi Residence 📌Hanairaka Information Center Entrance to the territory is free. We walked alone, there was no one else there, we spent the best half of the day here that day)#imaicho #osakatrip #naratrip #japan

Just a few minutes walk away from popular shopping area Namba Parks by Namba station, Namba Yasaka Jinja is a small shrine hidden away in the big city of Osaka. It is home to Namba’s guardian deity～ it is believed that the lion has come to eliminate bad luck and drive away evil spirits. Many people come here to wish for good luck and pray for academic improvement. The shrine is free to enter and doesn’t require a ticket. It is only a small area and the many tourists come to see the large lion head, a very popular spot for photos. The famous Lion Hall is 12 metres tall. It is said that the lion’s mouth swallows evil spirits. At night time and during festivals, the lion’s eyes can be seen shining as one of the lights in the temple grounds. A very impressive sight to see! 🌟 #mytravelhacks #japantrip #japan #historicallandmarks #localguides #osaka #osakatrip #japanguide #summerdestinations

📍1-1 Osakajo, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 540-0002 Japan Osaka is renowned worldwide for its cherry blossom spots, and among them, Osaka Castle is famous for its cherry blossom trails. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the abundance of cherry blossoms around Osaka Park. This place becomes especially popular during the cherry blossom season, so if you want to capture some stunning photos, it's recommended to visit in the morning. Even without entering the main keep, you can enjoy the pink-filled cherry blossoms at the park located near Osaka Castle. Personally, I highly recommend visiting during the cherry blossom season.
