Okay, here is my blog about my trip to Osaka:
I just got back from a quick three-day trip to Osaka, and boy, was it a whirlwind! I decided to go on a whim, you know, one of those spur-of-the-moment things. I booked my flight and found a cozy little place to stay near the city center.
Day 1
First day, I hit the ground running. I headed straight to Dotonbori. Man, that place is buzzing! The lights, the food stalls, the giant food signs—it’s sensory overload in the best way possible. I grabbed some takoyaki from a street vendor and just wandered around, soaking it all in. The Glico Running Man sign is even cooler in person. I spent a good hour just people-watching and snapping photos. Then, I took the subway to Namba Yasaka Jinja. It is amazing!
Day 2
Day two was all about exploring Shinsekai. It’s got this cool, retro vibe that I loved. I visited the Tsutenkaku Tower and took in the views from the top—pretty awesome. I stumbled upon a bunch of old-school arcades and spent way too much time (and money) playing those classic games. Afterwards, I treated myself to some kushikatsu at one of the local joints. It’s basically deep-fried skewers of everything you can imagine, and it’s delicious.
Day 3
On my last day, I decided to check out the Osaka Aquarium. It was alright I guess. I strolled around there for a bit. But the Ferris Wheel, man. I rode it and took some pictures from the window. The view was not bad. Then, I went to the airport and took my flight.
It was a short but sweet trip. Osaka, you’ve got my heart. I can’t wait to come back and explore more!
