#newyearnewtrip #holiday #travel #japantip My visit to Osaka Castle, and it was a memorable experience! Despite the cold weather, the views from the castle grounds were absolutely stunning.

#newyearnewtrip #holiday #osaka #japan #travel My New Year trip to Osaka’s Universal Studios Japan was absolutely incredible!

The interactive attractions, including the Mario Kart ride, were a nostalgic rush, and the attention to detail in the immersive world was beyond amazing. It was the perfect mix of magic and adventure to ring in the new year! #harrypotter #nintendo #usj

The props and the attention to detail is amazing. The park opens early as it was already open when we came in at 8am when the published time was 9am to open. There was souvenirs, scary rides, fun rides, not scary ride and many more. The food was especially yummy. The structure of the place representing the movies was so realistic, I felt like I was in the movie. It is advisable to get the express pass as the lines are quite long without it. #christmasvibes #universalstudio #osaka

#japantrip #osaka Visiting Osaka Castle during the full bloom of sakura is an unforgettable experience. The iconic castle, with its white walls and golden accents, stands majestically amidst a sea of pink cherry blossoms. The surrounding Nishinomaru Garden transforms into a dreamy landscape, with delicate petals framing every view.

The contrast between the historic grandeur of the castle and the fleeting beauty of the blossoms captures the essence of Japan’s timeless charm. It’s a moment of pure serenity and wonder that lingers in your memory long after the visit.

#japantrip It's an impressive paradise. Personally, I think it's better than some ocean ball parks in China. First of all, as soon as you enter the door, there is a group of ball power design structures (not professionals, and you don't know professional terms). The baby stopped here for a long time, looking for different balls where they went and where they came from, which triggered thinking. Then the third and fourth floors are large-scale play areas, and there are also areas for children who can't walk and crawl to meet the needs of different ages. It feels very convenient for residents to walk their babies. They can play all day. There is also a rest area with tables and chairs. In addition, a well-managed place is the slide from the fourth to the third floor. On the fourth floor, there is a special person who gives children sleeves to protect their arms. Elbow, the staff below will clean up the scene, such as ensuring that the children who come down are evacuated in time to prevent them from being hit by the children who slip down from above. They will also clean up the ground mat to prevent the children from standing up and slipping, and then knock on something in their hands to tell the staff above that the baby can come down. It makes people feel very secure and secure. There are also other popular science areas, such as ball rolling experiments, and there are experiments that indicate how to do different structures, which triggers children's thinking. There are also other bubble areas, such as temperature experiments, skeletal structure, human body structure, etc., which are both educational and entertaining. It is a venue with a very good sense of experience, and the tickets are also very cheap. It is worth recommending. #Osaka Travel #Parent-child travel
