📍 Location Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, Nishiki Koji-dori (between Teramachi-dori and Takakura-dori), about 400 meters long. ⸻ 🚶♂️ Transportation It is a 5-minute walk from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station or Karasuma Station. You can also take the city bus to Shijo Takakura or Shijo Kawaramachi and walk. ⸻ 📝 Experience Sharing Nishiki Market is really lively and a must-see food walk in Kyoto. Both sides are filled with small shops selling pickles, fried food, desserts, seafood, and Japanese side dishes. The atmosphere is super Kyoto, and it is super satisfying to walk, eat, and take pictures. My favorites are grilled scallops, fried shrimp cakes, tamagoyaki, and black bean tea ice cream. Each one is very unique and the price is not too expensive. There are also many century-old shops in the market, such as tofu, pickles, and Kyoto small items. If you want to bring some specialties home, it is also a good place to visit. Although the crowds are not small, most of them are tourists and local Japanese people. It is not too crowded, but it feels very local. It is a very happy five-sense experience to eat while walking and being bombarded by the aroma! ⸻ 🎒 Tips • Many stores have signs that say "No eating while walking", remember to read the regulations carefully • It is recommended to arrive before noon, and the items are more complete • You can continue to visit Shinkyogoku Shopping Street and Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine nearby #7月好去处2025 #大坂之旅

Came here for my birthday, it's really new inside! The view from the room and the restaurant is really unique! Maybe because it just opened, the non-alcoholic drinks in the minibar are free, and welcome fruit is also given (which is already very good in Japan). The dinner is quite satisfactory, except that you can see the night view of Osaka Castle, there is nothing special to recommend. But the breakfast is really rich and delicious. You can eat as much as you want, nuts, oatmeal, quinoa, and avocado, which are usually very expensive in Japan. I strongly recommend that you must add breakfast! In addition, the body lotion and shampoo provided by the hotel are unanimously agreed by my girlfriend and I to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in - the shampoo will not dry out or not clean after washing, and the body lotion absorbs quickly, is not sticky, and smells good. However, I personally think there are two disadvantages: ⚠️Everything costs extra! It costs 5,000 yen/night to use the hotel parking lot by car, and 2,000 yen for valet parking (very exaggerated, the parking lot is next to the hotel, less than a minute's walk). You need to pay extra for booking a window seat, birthday decorations, etc. If the hotel does not have the items you need, a 15% purchasing service fee will be charged. ⚠️The location is a bit awkward, far from the station, and it is not particularly convenient to drive by yourself, but it seems that you can make an appointment for a shuttle service from the hotel to Morinomiya Station. #Osaka itinerary #Osaka #Osakapatina #hotelrecommendation #Osaka Castle #trip #Register for July hotel test sleeper

#Osaka Transportation Guide Of course you have to go to the suburbs when you go to Osaka. It takes 45 minutes by Shinkansen to reach Okayama, known as the sunny country! Okayama has a small population, so there are naturally few tourists. But it is rich in fruits, such as Okayama peaches and Kyoho grapes. Many Japanese come here to eat fruits and Tottori Wagyu beef. There is also Okayama Castle, which has been with the Japanese for more than 400 years. Okayama Castle is also known as the Black Castle because of its black appearance. It also takes 45 minutes to go to Nara. If you are bored in Kyoto, why not come to Okayama! #Osaka Suburbs#Osaka #Osaka Itinerary #Okayama #Okayama Castle

Sumitomo Pavilion, an immersive experience beyond expectations😍Today I want to share with you my experience of visiting the Sumitomo Pavilion of the Osaka Kansai World Expo 2025. This pavilion is definitely in the top three, and friends who come to Osaka should not miss it! The following is my experience sharing and practical tips to help you plan your itinerary easily. First impression of Sumitomo Pavilion: The beauty of the building is shocking. Sumitomo Pavilion was designed by the famous architect Fumihiko Maki. It is famous for its "steel frame suspension structure" and "floating skyline" and is a classic of modern Japanese architecture. The exterior is full of the iconic style of the "World Expo", which makes people wonder how the construction drawings of the year outlined this masterpiece. The magnificent design of the Oyagen alone makes people feel that the trip is worthwhile. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a history fan, or just looking for a unique attraction, it is worth a visit. 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Immersive experience: Double surprise of forest exploration and stage playThe Sumitomo Pavilion is divided into two main areas, bringing completely different sensory enjoyment: Forest Exploration Area Upon entry, each group of visitors will receive a "lamp", which is the core prop of the experience. Holding a lantern, you will walk into a dim "forest", and the surrounding environment is mysterious and fascinating. At first I was a little confused, and even turned around several times before I found the direction! When I placed the lamp in the designated location, the "mushroom" next to it began to glow, and there was a faint sound, but unfortunately it was not very clear. I couldn't help but whisper to the mushroom: "Hey, what did you say?". Remind everyone to keep quiet while exploring, so that you can better integrate into this fantasy atmosphere! Stage Play Performance Area Next is a stage play that combines images and live performances. Taking photos is prohibited, so I won't spoil the details! This performance is visually stunning, perfectly showing the creativity and technology of the Sumitomo Pavilion, and it is definitely the climax of the whole visit. The entire pavilion takes about an hour to savor, and every link is full of surprises and endless aftertaste. 🧾Sumitomo Pavilion Guide: You can enter without a reservation! If you can't make an appointment for admission on the official website, don't worry, here are two tips to help you visit smoothly: Early Bird Tier: Enter from the East Gate before 9 am. A tier without reservation will be opened on site. First come, first served. It is recommended to queue up early. Same-day quota: The same-day reservation quota will be released at 2 pm (14:00). This is the last chance to enter. Remember to seize the time! Summary: An unforgettable journey through time and spaceSumitomo Pavilion is not only the highlight of the Osaka World Expo, but also the perfect combination of modern architecture and immersive experience. From forest exploration to stage performances, every moment makes people feel the designer's intentions. I hope everyone can visit smoothly and experience this visual and spiritual feast! If you have any questions or want to share your Expo experience, please leave a message to communicate! 😊 #5月好去处2025 #6月好去处 #大坂之旅 #expo2025

𝕆𝕤𝕒𝕜𝕒 ℝ𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕦𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕥🍜🥢 📍麺スタイル谷本家 (MENSTYLE TANIMOTOKE Honmachi Branch) Highly recommend "鶏の贝盐とろとろ赤玉子つき"🤤 The soup is fresh and not salty, with a faint grapefruit flavor, very fresh! I couldn't help but drink the whole soup. If you like salt-flavored ramen, you must try it! 📍 Charcoal Yakitori えんや Umeda Store Second visit to the charcoal grilled えんや shop, the Umeda shop is not as good as the Namba 3 shop, if you want to eat good grilled birds, go back to another branch! 📍薪焼き flamma The price is reasonable, the taste is medium, the steak is quite tender and has the aroma of firewood, the other dishes are not memorable points and surprises, but the presentation is beautiful and fancy, like a work of art ~ 📍Black Haired Wagyu Beef Grilled Meat and Korean Cuisine ハヌル Cheap black-haired Wagyu beef, with female cows as a selling point, high value for money! There are so many Hong Kong people going there, so you must book a table if you want to eat! 𝕂𝕪𝕠𝕥𝕠 ℝ𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕦𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕥🥢 📍 Gion Duck Rice🦆🍚 The duck meat is quite good, the way to eat is very special, a bit like an experiment, slightly the food is not hot enough ~ 📍 酒呑気 びんご (Bingo) The food in this izakaya is delicious, the seasoning is good, no thunder products, the fried chicken wings are great🤤 The atmosphere in the store is very good, the staff is very enthusiastic and talkative! (Japanese menu only) 📍お茶と酒たすき（茶&酒Tasuki Shinfengkan店） This time I tried Hojicha shaved ice, I was looking forward to eating tea flavored shaved ice in Kyoto, but finally found that Shari Shari is the best 🤣 I also tried the red wine fig year cake, it was so sweet! 📍ぎをん Komori (Gion Komori) The environment is quite beautiful, the fern cake is good, the matcha ice cream is not strong enough, the overall is more ordinary, it does not hinder the mountain room much better! #Register for June Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Osaka Trip #Kyoto Food #Osaka Food Strategy

Maimon Conveyor Belt Sushi at Umeda Lucua Located inside the Umeda Lucua shopping mall, which is home to a variety of gourmet options. Don't underestimate this conveyor belt sushi 🍣—the quality is exceptional! The sushi features less rice and generous portions of seafood, which is incredibly fresh and comes in a wide variety. The toro is a must-try! It's rich and buttery, melting in your mouth, and the price is significantly cheaper compared to Hong Kong and Macau. No wonder there's always a long queue 👍—during peak hours, the wait can be up to an hour. Additionally, after your meal or while waiting for a table, don't miss the free night view 🌃 from the top floor! 📍Address: 10th Floor, Lucua, Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan 💰Average cost per person: HKD200

Orange Street is somewhat similar to Omotesando in Tokyo! The entire street and its alleys are filled with various shops, ranging from second-hand stores to trendy fashion brands. Highly recommended spots include SORA and Billy’s. There are also several stores selling vintage luxury items where you can hunt for treasures. 🔺Attached 🗺️ map for reference (Image 2) 📍Name: Orange Street 🗺️Google Map🔍 Search: Orange Street 🚇Subway Station: Yotsubashi Station on the Yotsubashi Line 📢 Most shops close around 7:00 PM (Note: Tax refunds are generally available, so don’t forget your passport!)

【3-Day Osaka Trip】Universal Studios Fun + Shopping and Dining at Shinsaibashi! How to spend the Dragon Boat Festival holiday? This year, we decided on a spontaneous Osaka getaway! Though it’s just a short three-day, two-night trip, the itinerary was perfectly planned to include all the must-play, must-buy, and must-eat experiences! ⸻ Day 1: Off to Osaka, Dinner at Shinsaibashi We took an early flight directly to Kansai Airport, breezed through immigration, and hopped on the Nankai Electric Railway straight to Namba. After dropping off our luggage, we headed to Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street for food and shopping! For dinner, we indulged in the long-craved Ichiran Ramen, followed by rounds of takoyaki, kushikatsu, and matcha ice cream. While eating, we also explored drugstores, UNIQLO, GU, and Bic Camera, shopping to our heart’s content! ⸻ Day 2: A Full Day at Universal Studios – Harry Potter, Mario, and Demon Slayer The entire day was dedicated to Universal Studios Japan! We entered the park early in the morning, with our first stop being the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Sipping on butterbeer and walking through Hogwarts was a childhood dream come true! Next, we headed to the highly popular Super Nintendo World. The Mario Kart ride was incredibly immersive. We also managed to get on the Demon Slayer XR roller coaster, screaming alongside Tanjiro – it was exhilarating! The park’s food was also a highlight. We tried the Minion popcorn bucket, Harry Potter turkey leg, and the massive Jurassic burger (so big we couldn’t finish it). ⸻ Day 3: Last-Minute Shopping Before Heading Home The final day was reserved for more shopping at Shinsaibashi – stocking up on drugstore items and fulfilling friends’ shopping requests. We wrapped up the trip with a bowl of Ippudo Ramen before heading to the airport with our haul of goodies. It was a short but incredibly fulfilling trip! ⸻ Tips: • It’s recommended to purchase Universal Studios tickets and express passes online in advance to save time. • Stay near Namba/Shinsaibashi for convenient shopping and transportation. • For holiday trips, book flights and accommodations early!

📍 Location 1-1 Osaka Castle, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka Prefecture ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Osaka Station: Take the JR Osaka Loop Line to Osaka Castle Park Station or Mori-nomiya Station, then walk about 10 minutes from the station. Alternatively, you can take the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Subway Line to Osaka Business Park Station and walk for about 5 minutes. • Tips: The area around the castle tower is vast, so it is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes. It is especially popular during the cherry blossom season in spring. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience Osaka Castle is not just a popular spot for tourists to check in, its history and grandeur are also impressive. The castle tower's exterior is spectacular with its white walls and gold decorations. It is a great place to take photos no matter what season you visit, especially in the spring when the cherry blossoms appear or in the autumn when the maple leaves turn red, which seem unreal. This time I entered from the Osaka Castle Park Station side, passing by the moat and stone walls along the way, and it felt like I had entered the Warring States Period. Although you need a ticket to climb up to the castle tower (about 600 yen for adults), the scenery is worth it as there are exhibits about Toyotomi Hideyoshi inside and you can also go up to the top floor to overlook the entire Osaka city. The park area is very large, with many locals having picnics, jogging, and even some people practicing kendo. It is an urban green space that combines history and life. If you have a whole afternoon, walk slowly and look around, you will find that Osaka Castle is actually richer than you imagined. #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel #OsakaItinerary

📍 Location 2-9-19 Motomachi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Namba Station: A 6–10 minute walk from Nankai, Subway Midosuji Line, or Kintetsu "Namba Station." • From Shin-Imamiya or Nipponbashi Station: Walking time is also within 10 minutes, making it very convenient to include in a half-day itinerary around Osaka City. ⸻ 📝 Personal Thoughts The first time I saw the "Lion Hall," I was genuinely surprised! The entire shrine stage is shaped like a giant lion's face, with its mouth wide open, golden eyes glaring fiercely. It exudes a strong aura yet has a touch of cuteness. It is said that standing in front of the lion's mouth can "swallow misfortune and bring good luck," so many people come here specifically to pray for a change in fortune, or for success in exams, job hunting, or love. The shrine itself is not very large, but the Lion Hall is so distinctive that visiting once leaves a lasting impression. Plus, it's very close to the Namba city area, making it a convenient stop when walking from Dotonbori or Kuromon Market. It's a perfect spot for both sightseeing and spiritual experiences. I personally recommend visiting in the morning when there are fewer people. The photos turn out especially well, and the lion's face looks more three-dimensional under the sunlight, radiating a mix of majesty and healing vibes.

📍 Location 1-11-18 Shitennoji, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Osaka Namba: Take the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line to Tennoji Station and walk about 10 minutes. • From Osaka Station: Take the JR Osaka Loop Line to Tennoji Station and walk about 12 minutes from the station. • Tips: You can also visit Tennoji Zoo and Tsutenkaku near Shitennoji, which is a suitable area for a half-day stroll. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience Shitennoji Temple is Japan's oldest state-run Buddhist temple, founded in 593 by Prince Shotoku. Walking into the temple, you can really feel an atmosphere that is different from that of the temples in Kyoto. It lacks the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots and has more of the quiet solemnity of history. The sun was shining brightly the day I came. The red five-story pagoda was very eye-catching under the blue sky, and the ancient buildings around it were arranged in an orderly manner, giving people the illusion of traveling through a thousand years. The stone garden and cemetery area in the temple are also very peaceful, with many local Japanese coming to worship or meditate. People who don’t pursue punching in will like the quietness here. However, it is recommended to come on weekdays, as there are more activities in the temple on weekends and the atmosphere will be more lively. Overall, Shitennoji is a good place to experience the depth of Buddhist culture without being too commercial. #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel #OsakaItinerary

📍 Location 68 Fukakusa Yabuunouchi-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City (at the foot of Mt. Inari) ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Kyoto Station: Take the JR Nara Line to Inari Station for about 5 minutes and arrive right outside the station. • From Osaka: Take the Keihan Main Line to Fushimi-Inari Station and walk for about 5 minutes. • Tips: It is recommended to arrive early to avoid the tourist crowds, especially after 9 am when it will be noticeably crowded. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience Fushimi Inari Taisha has always been one of the most mysterious shrines in my mind. The rows of red torii gates extend all the way up the mountain from the entrance, like a tunnel leading to another world, making people want to move forward unconsciously. Every time you walk a distance, you will see stone statues of fox gods, which are said to be the messengers of Inari God. I always feel that they are silently guarding the entire forest. This is not only a popular spot for taking photos and checking in, but also a process of meditation. Although the entire Torii Trail climbing process is a bit challenging, you will pass by various landscapes and small shrines along the way, and there will be surprises at every turn. I especially like coming here in the early morning, when the air is cool and it is quiet. Walking under the torii gate, I can seem to feel the energy from the divine realm, which slowly calms my heart. #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel #OsakaItinerary #KyotoItinerary

📍 Location The Shibaji-cho and Nobori-oji-cho areas of Nara City, Nara Prefecture (including Todai-ji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kofuku-ji Temple, etc.) ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From Osaka: Take the Kintetsu Nara Line to Kintetsu Nara Station and walk about 5 minutes to Nara Park. • From Kyoto: You can take the JR Nara Line to JR Nara Station and then walk for about 15 minutes or take a bus to get there. • Transportation within the park: It is recommended to explore on foot, or you can rent a bicycle or take a sightseeing bus. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience When you come to Nara Park, the most impressive thing is of course the sika deer walking freely in the park. They are not afraid of people at all. When they see you holding Deer Crackers in your hand, they will approach you actively. Some will even bow to beg for food. It's so cute! The entire park area is very vast, lush greenery and combined with history and culture. The huge Buddha statue in Todaiji Temple is shocking, while the vermilion buildings of Kasuga Taisha Shrine exude a quiet and sacred atmosphere. This is a good place to take a slow walk and take photos, especially in the morning when there are not many people. The sun shines through the gaps in the trees, and the moment you coexist with the deer, you really feel like you are traveling through the tranquility of an ancient capital. If you want to avoid the crowds, it is recommended to avoid holidays or afternoon peak hours so that you can enjoy this charming place where nature and culture blend together more leisurely. #AprilDestinations2025 #OsakaItinerary #JapanTravel

📍 Location 1-1 Koshiencho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture (Home of the Japanese professional baseball team Hanshin Tigers, a classic stadium with over a century of history) ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • JR Hanshin Line: From Osaka Umeda Station, take the Hanshin Railway and arrive at Koshien Station in about 25 to 30 minutes. From there, walk about 3 minutes to the stadium entrance. • Other transportation: If you are departing from Kobe or other areas, you can also take JR or Hanshin Railway to Koshien Station, which is very convenient. There are complete public transportation and parking facilities around the stadium, making it convenient for those who drive there. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience Walking into the Koshien Baseball Stadium, you can seem to feel the breath of history and the echoes of passionate youth. Whether it is a sunny afternoon or late at night, the stadium always attracts countless enthusiastic fans to gather here to celebrate the event. I once watched a Hanshin Tigers game here. The atmosphere of waving tiger flags and cheering in unison brought me back to the pure excitement of my youth. In addition to the game itself, the facilities inside the stadium are also full of nostalgia: old-fashioned scoreboards, classic street snacks, and full of human touch. Every corner seems to be telling the story of Koshien. To me, Koshien is not just a baseball stadium, it is more like a place where I can find the memories of my youth and feel the spirit of sports. Whether you are a baseball fan or not, you will be infected by the strong passion here and leave unforgettable memories. #AprilDestinations2025 #OsakaItinerary #JapanTravel

⸻ 🧙♂️ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter｜Universal Studios Japan "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" located in Universal Studios Osaka opened in 2014 and is a dream park that Harry Potter fans around the world must visit. The park perfectly recreates classic scenes such as Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade, making people feel as if they are in a magical world.   ⸻ 📍 Location 2-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana-ku, Osaka, Japan (inside Universal Studios Japan) ⸻ 🚉 Transportation • From JR Osaka Station, take the Osaka Loop Line to Nishikujo Station, then transfer to the JR Yumesaki Line to Universal City Station. After exiting the station, walk about 5 minutes to the park entrance. ⸻ 📝 Personal experience As soon as you step into the magical world of Harry Potter, it feels like you have entered a scene from a movie. Hogwarts Castle stands before you, and the streets of Hogsmeade are filled with a magical atmosphere. "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" is a must-see attraction that uses 4K3D technology to allow people to feel the excitement of flying with Harry Potter. In addition, the Three Broomsticks Restaurant offers authentic British cuisine, and honey beer is a specialty drink that cannot be missed. The entire park is full of surprises and touching moments. Whether you are a Harry Potter fan or an ordinary tourist, you can find your own magical moment here.  #AprilDestinations2025 #OsakaItinerary #UniversalStudios

Each meditation room in Sanjusangendo seems to hold a profound story. Walking through the ancient corridors, the towering pillars and countless Buddha statues silently guard this tranquil sanctuary. The Zen atmosphere here feels natural and effortless, with every corner exuding a sense of peace and serenity. Standing under the eaves, gazing at the rows of Buddha statues, one cannot help but feel a sense of reverence and awe. After completing my pilgrimage at Sanjusangendo, I headed to the Midosuji Royal Garden Hotel in Osaka. Located in the city center, this hotel offers exceptional convenience, making it easy to explore Osaka's cultural landmarks or savor the local cuisine. The hotel's interior design is highly modern, blending traditional Japanese elements with contemporary fashion. Both the facilities and services provide a sense of meticulous care. At night, Midosuji is brightly lit, and from the hotel room window, the bustling cityscape unfolds before your eyes. It feels as though I've found a tranquil space in the heart of this vibrant city.

Kyoto Aquarium was one of the highlights of my trip. Stepping into the aquarium felt like entering a magical world, with vibrant marine life swimming freely in the water. Every corner was filled with surprises, making me pause to admire each creature closely. After the visit, I headed to the Rihga Royal Hotel in Osaka. This hotel was impeccable in both its facilities and services. The luxurious decor and attentive service made every moment comfortable and satisfying. Immersed in the hotel's high-end amenities, I was completely enveloped in the elegant atmosphere of the city.

#Osaka Itinerary Ginkaku-ji Temple is located at the foot of Higashiyama in Kyoto. It attracts countless tourists with its simple yet elegant beauty. The architecture of this temple is extremely simple, and combined with the surrounding garden scenery, it seems as if time has stopped here. Standing in the garden of Ginkakuji Temple, the only sound you can hear is the breeze blowing through the treetops, and you feel yourself blending harmoniously with the tranquility of this land. That night, I checked into the Ark Hotel in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. This hotel offers a very modern design, giving you an atmosphere of elegance and comfort as soon as you enter the room. The hotel is also very conveniently located, within walking distance to the bustling Shinsaibashi business district and exploring Osaka at night.

After the last seminar before Golden Week, I went to Nakazaki-cho for a walk and a cup of coffee. We walked all the way back to Umeda, but felt that the walk was not satisfying enough, so we slowly walked to the Kitahama area. When I see familiar place names and landmarks along the way, I always think of the various studies related to these place names that I have read on ZEMI in recent years. Although I am doing Tokyo urban history research in Osaka, I had many dissatisfactions with Osaka as a "huge city" when I first moved here. However, in the process of studying Osaka history research with my teachers, friends and classmates, and participating in discussions on Osaka history research with my classmates, I gradually felt that my feelings towards Osaka have gone beyond the scope of "like/hate", and have become a feeling of familiarity with Osaka that has become an integral part of my research life. I remembered that I learned from my doctoral senior last month that Osaka’s city emblem is the Mio-no-Mio logo, and I felt warm in my chest. This is truly a proud port city. #Osaka Itinerary

Waste time in the Kansai people's "take it slow philosophy" 🌿☕️ Compared to the precision gears of Tokyo, the people of Osaka are like the optimists who will smile and say "Eeyan" even if their tongues are burned by takoyaki. This time I decided to learn their lazy survival rules - ✔️When you get lost, there will be an old lady wearing reading glasses in the main animation map ✔️ "Five minutes late" is considered a reasonable margin of error in train announcements ✔️All stores’ “regular holidays” are actually the boss’s fishing days When the convenience store cashier hummed a song while giving change, he suddenly realized that The people of Osaka have long incorporated the words "life is worth it" into every steaming Okonomiyaki dish. 🐾 📌Leisure props pack: ▫️Store your luggage and travel light ▫️Bring your change with you to feed the gashapon machine on the street corner ▫️Say "おもろい" (interesting) to the locals and you'll instantly get a smile #OsakaItinerary

The moment you step into the National Museum of Art, Osaka, it's like opening an art encyclopedia that spans time and space! This palace that combines Eastern and Western aesthetics is definitely a must-visit for art lovers. The museum's collections span a thousand years, from Chinese Tang and Song dynasty celadon, Ming and Qing dynasty calligraphy and paintings, to European Renaissance oil paintings. Each exhibit contains a profound heritage. The most surprising thing is the museum's treasure - Kano Tanyu's "Pine Forest Screen". The vigorous pine branches and blank space perfectly demonstrate the traditional Japanese aesthetics. The original works of Impressionist masters such as Monet and Gauguin allow people to experience the charm of light and shadow of Western art up close. The architectural design of the art museum is also full of ingenuity. The high-ceilinged exhibition hall combined with natural light makes every painting seem to come alive. If you are tired of shopping, you may want to take a break in the museum's cafe and enjoy matcha desserts while admiring the tranquility of the Japanese garden outside the window. If you have enough time, you can also join a free guided tour and listen to professional explanations to gain a deeper understanding of the stories behind the exhibits. #Osaka Itinerary

Who can relate? It's been two weeks since I returned from Japan, and I'm still reminiscing about the scenes from my trip. Before going, I read a lot of posts warning about potential discrimination in Japan, but my experience was quite the opposite! Japan felt pretty welcoming overall. The only hiccup was when I landed in Osaka—being unfamiliar with the area, I struggled to decipher the complex maps and Japanese signs at the station. I ended up wandering around for nearly two hours before finally boarding the subway to my hotel. 😂😂😂 My 8-day, 7-night whirlwind trip filled up my phone's memory with countless snapshots—each frame a cherished memory. 😀😀 From Nara's deer calls to Kyoto's blooming cherry blossoms, standing in awe beneath the majestic Mount Fuji, visiting Tokyo Tower from countless dramas, savoring the tonkotsu ramen from anime, and buying matcha chocolates recommended by friends—this trip was truly unforgettable. 😊😊 Honestly, I was quite nervous before the trip. The thought of flying to a foreign country with no sense of belonging, not knowing the language, and being directionally challenged was daunting. What if something went wrong? But once I arrived, I realized the world outside isn't as scary as I imagined. In short, brave people get to enjoy the world first! From world to world~~

I came across the photos I saved from my street travels in Kansai and couldn’t help but share them with you! The horizontal screen pictures recorded with Fuji camera, each one seems to have its own movie filter, and every shot is full of stories~ Walking on the streets of Osaka, the neon signs of Namba, the bustling crowds of Dotonbori, and the retro feeling of Tsutenkaku were all captured by my camera. Especially at dusk, when the setting sun shines on the alleys, the passing izakayas emit warm yellow lights, full of the atmosphere of fireworks! Turning the camera sideways can better show the vastness and details of the city. Moving to Kyoto, there is another whole new flavor. The stone pavement in front of Kiyomizu Temple, the kimono girls in Gion, and the interweaving of light and shadow in the bamboo forest of Arashiyama, each of these places makes people want to press the shutter. The horizontal screen composition perfectly blends the ancient buildings with the surrounding natural scenery, as if you can feel the breeze and tranquility of the time through the photo. I completely fell in love with street photography during this trip! There is no need to look for tourist attractions deliberately. The fragments of life in the streets and alleys, the smiles of passers-by, and the displays of small shops are all the most real scenery. Thanks to the direct color output of Fuji cameras, these moments are presented in their original flavor~ #Osaka Itinerary

I recently went to the Osaka World Expo and was shocked by the sense of technology and creativity on site! This hot guide will take you to see the latest situation of the World Expo~ As soon as you enter the Expo Park, you can feel the futuristic atmosphere! The theme of this World Expo is "Designing the Future Society", and environmental protection and technological elements run through everything from architecture to exhibition halls. It is recommended to visit the Japan Pavilion. The exterior looks like a giant dandelion, and the interior uses advanced projection technology to present the changing of the seasons. Every frame of the picture is so beautiful that you want to take a screenshot! There is also the French Pavilion, which is designed with a suspended garden as its concept. The interweaving of light and shadow makes you feel like you are walking into a fairy tale world. In addition to the exhibition, the food in the park is also super exciting! There are all kinds of special snacks from all over the world. I tried Spanish paella and Italian handmade ice cream, which tasted authentic. There are also many interactive experience areas in the park. If you bring children with you, you can go to the children's creative workshop to make handicrafts and play scientific experiments, which is fun and educational. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance on the official website and download the Expo APP to plan the route. Some popular exhibition halls require advance reservations! Wear comfortable shoes because the park is large and you will have to walk a lot in a day. If you want to avoid the crowds, try to go during the week. #Osaka Itinerary

I am so satisfied with my Osaka Citywalk route ☺ I checked in all the camera positions I wanted to take in one day and I was not tired. I recommend saving it 💕 📍First stop: Tsutenkaku Camera position 1⃣: The most classic one is the main street of Tsutenkaku, but there are too many people, and the atmosphere of the surrounding buildings at night is full Camera position 2⃣ (very 🔥 rooftop camera): Navigate to spa world and walk up the stairs to take pictures with no one around✨ ✅The store fronts here in Tsutenkaku are very cute and you can take pictures along the way 📍Second stop: Dotonbori Glico Superman 🚇 Take Exit 16 of Namba Subway Station. After exiting the station, use Google Maps to navigate to "Dotonbori Glico Signboard"~ Classic C position: The railing on the right side of Ebisu Bridge (near Kani Doraku), it is also a good place to take photos on Shinsaibashi Bridge 📍Third stop: Dotonbori Glico billboard The Dotonbori sign is a symbol of Osaka's night view. Navigate to "Yoshinoya Midosuji Namba Store" Back to the city to see the night view of this area, although there are many people, but when all the lights are lit up, it has a unique flavor, and immediately travels to the second dimension world 📍Fourth stop: Namba Yasaka Shrine⛩🦁 I've always wanted to check in at this lion shrine that opens its big mouth to suck away bad luck! Moreover, everyone took photos in an orderly manner, and basically they could take photos without anyone in sight. Take the Osaka Metro [Misujido Line] to Daikokucho Station Exit 1 and walk 5-10 minutes. Just look for the small sign of "Yasaka Shrine" in the residential area. 📍Fifth stop: Osaka Castle Park Conan Hattori Heiji's same camera position: successfully transformed into an Osaka high school student detective🕵🏻 Tanimachi 4-chome Subway Station Exit 9, then walk a short distance 🚶 This camera position can directly locate [Public Restroom 2 in Osaka Castle Park (HON-MARU West)], yes, this camera position is next to the restroom 📸All the above places are free to check in and take photos at will. Feel free to visit~ #大坂之旅

When you come to Osaka, how can you not record every wonderful moment with your camera? During this trip, I captured all the charm of Osaka in my camera. On the first day, we headed straight to Umeda! I just happened to catch the Gundam exhibition. A giant Gundam stood before my eyes, full of mechanical feeling. There were also so many peripherals on site that I couldn't take my eyes off it! Then we went up to the Harukas Observatory. The 60-story height was truly astonishing. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows we could overlook the entire Osaka area. Whether it was the hustle and bustle of the day or the bright neon lights at night, it was breathtakingly beautiful! Of course, the most anticipated thing for this trip is the Osaka World Expo! There are all kinds of creative exhibition halls and interactive installations on site, allowing you to experience the unique culture of each country all at once. Every corner is full of surprises and you can’t stop taking pictures! When it comes to Osaka, Dotonbori is definitely a must-visit place! Look up at the giant billboards, and you will see the bustling crowds around you. Stroll along Shinsaibashi, where you can find everything from big-name boutiques to specialty shops to satisfy all your shopping desires. The last stop of the journey is Izumisano Rinku Castle. The sea view here is so healing! The blue sky and white clouds, the sparkling sea, and the town in the distance are like a beautiful painting. #Osaka Itinerary
