Visiting Tsutenkaku Tower in Osaka is a memorable experience, offering a glimpse into the city's past while providing stunning panoramic views. This iconic landmark, built in 1956, stands as a symbol of Osaka's post-war recovery and its vibrant spirit. The tower itself is a blend of retro charm and modern flair, with an observation deck offering a breathtaking view of the city and beyond. One of the highlights is the Bilikien statue, the "God of Things as They Ought to Be," which is believed to bring good fortune. Touching its feet is said to grant a wish. The surrounding area, with its nostalgic atmosphere, makes Tsutenkaku not just a sightseeing spot, but a cultural experience. Whether you're interested in history, views, or a bit of local superstition, Tsutenkaku is well worth a visit. #japantrip #travel #osaka #thingstodo

Osaka Castle is one of Japan's most famous and significant castles. Located in Osaka city, Osaka Prefecture, the castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a leader and founder of the Toyotomi regime during the Sengoku period. It served as a center of governance and a symbol of military power. The castle is distinguished by its tall and beautiful central tower, which offers a key vantage point for viewing the city of Osaka today. Inside the castle, exhibitions about the history of the castle and the city of Osaka are displayed, utilizing technology to provide engaging information.

As a Harry Potter fan, Universal Studios Japan was at the top of my bucket list. But beyond the Wizarding World, there were so many other exciting attractions to explore. The two things I was most looking forward to were everything Harry Potter-related and the Jujutsu Kaisen theme. You'll need a full day to properly experience the park, so plan accordingly—don’t go in half-heartedly! Tips: Always buy your ticket in advance, no matter what. It saves a lot of time. If possible, get the Fast Pass. While it’s a bit expensive, it allows you to skip long queues. Make sure to purchase it at least a month in advance—I tried buying mine 20–30 days before my visit, and they were already sold out. Be prepared for wait times. Even for less popular attractions, expect to wait around 30 minutes. For the most popular ones, the wait can go up to two hours if you don’t have a Fast Pass. Planning ahead makes a huge difference in making the most of your Universal Studios Japan experience! #themepark #japan #osaka #japantrip #japantravel

I had the opportunity to stay there in October 2024 and booked through trip.com at a great price. The accommodation matched the description and reviews perfectly. Everything was clean and peaceful, making it ideal for relaxing after a tiring day of sightseeing. The best part is that it's very close to the subway station, making travel convenient. There are various drink stations in the lobby and a luggage storage room. The staff provided excellent service and the rooms were cleaned daily. If I have the chance, I would love to stay there again.

#japantrip #osaka #japan #travel #thingstodo #nightlife #summer While Dotonbori’s neon lights and bustling streets are a must-see, the real charm of Osaka lies in its lesser-known alleys and side streets. Just a short walk from the main strip, Hozenji Yokocho offers a tranquil escape with its narrow stone-paved paths and the moss-covered Hozenji Temple. Meanwhile, deep in the backstreets, you’ll find cozy izakayas, family-run takoyaki stalls, and vintage-style kissaten cafés perfect for a quiet break. For a more local experience, wander towards Ura-Namba, where tiny standing bars and hole-in-the-wall eateries serve some of the best food in the city.

#japantrip #osaka #travel #japan #thingstodo #castle #summer Standing tall in the heart of Osaka, Osaka Castle is a breathtaking symbol of Japan’s samurai era.

The glow of the tower and the retro atmosphere of the district transport you to another time, with its charming mix of old-school Osaka and modern entertainment. Whether you’re indulging in kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) or enjoying a drink at one of the quirky local bars, Shinsekai at night offers a unique and unforgettable experience. It’s the perfect place to dive into Osaka’s lively night scene and get a taste of its rich culture.

Located in Osaka's Uehommachi, Edogawa Restaurant is renowned for its authentic Tokyo-style (Edomae) eel cuisine. Here, the eel is carefully split open and steamed, a fat-removal method that makes the eel softer and healthier, perfectly showcasing the unique charm of Edomae style. The restaurant is filled with the scenery of Uehommachi and enchanting aromas. Upon entering Edogawa, you are immediately captivated by the scent of the sauce and grilled eel. Edogawa's homemade sauce adds an elegant flavor to the plump eel, making it more delicious without any fishy taste. Even guests with a preference for lighter flavors can find a satisfying balance with the additional sauce. Moreover, you can enjoy variations in the flavor and way of eating the eel. First, savor the original taste of the eel, then dip it in the sauce, and finally add it to a bowl of tea rice. This way, you can experience three different delicious changes, making it a true adventure for your taste buds. The spacious interior and relaxed atmosphere allow you to enjoy the delicious food without worrying about crowding or noise, providing a comfortable dining experience for every guest. For those who do not like eel, the restaurant also offers special set meals without eel, ensuring that Edogawa can satisfy any palate.
